Hi all,
I posted this previously in the Starsector unofficial discord, but it got ignored/buried under other queries, so I thought I'd try here. Don't know if people would bother with 0.9.1 anymore, since it's outdated now.
I've been in the midst of fighting off a pretty large Ascendancy saturation bombardment fleet, but I keep running into this problem:

Followed by this error log:

At first I thought it was to do with one of my agents lowering relations with other factions, so I aborted all three assignments and went to see what would happen. Nope, still CTD's.
Another thing to note is that this happens at the end of Aug. 1, after the new month cycle has occurred.
