heh. m8, there are even mods with entirely new universes. if you want to have a partially known, try discovery, for instance. the amount of new places is that huge, that you probably never will explore even a half of them before you have the kick-ass ship youre after.
Have you tried the poor man’s binary error checker?
Delete half the file and see if the problem goes away. If it does you know the problem is in that half. If it doesn’t, try the other half. If it still doesn’t go away delete everythign in the file. If the problem is still there you’re looking in the wrong file.
Then just keep cutting the code in half untill you isolate your bug.
