Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to post an error message. This is my first post, I've read the FAQ and a fruitless search for a solution brought no answers.
Description
The game crashes to desktop with an error message "Fatal:null. See Starsector log". It happens at the very same time in game, about a few seconds after starting my last saved game. The save is from the 26.06.2019. It always repeats at the very same time in this save game. It happens in every savegame I make, sooner or later. In those cases the point of time and reason for the crash are the same as here. The error has first started appearing about two weeks ago. I upgraded the nexerelin mod files to the newest versions one week ago. A reinstallation of the nex mod, two days ago, brought no betterment.

Oppinion
To me it looks like some part of nexerelin array isn't handled correctly when trying to call the CovertOpsManager. The error keeps happening at the exact same point. I've had it about six times in a row now and the error description is always the same. I recently added some newer mods to my game, such as Varya's Sector, Hazard mining and Celestial Circle. Maybe the interconnection between one of those mods and Nexerelin is the problem? I lack the knowledge and experience to judge.
Request
Please take a look at the situation and tell me if a fix is possible. Unfortunately I can't add any files (except the zipped list of active mods) due to size constraints, even when using zip. I can find some online upload website though, if you need to see the file.
