I hate intermittent crashes, they tend to be a pain to reproduce. >.<
 I have a group of shields that, on installation, will install a virtual device on the ship. More often than not, this will cause the game to crash when a ship equipped with one of the relevant shields installed is created, and not a blackscreen crash that posts to Ministry. The crash log I got from WINE is as follows:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x0000008e in 32-bit code (0x005a5f08).
