If anyone who is crashing frequently, can someone try installing a different battle hud (Ones that change the displays around the battle to the lines instead of large graphical boxes)(Used to be on TeamBNF's site, it might be on the NGP site or might not.)
Else I'll have to do some kind of sprite test for all the ships in the game is its not the hud sprite.
PS plaz, try alt-tabing and tabbing back into the game while in harbor and see if you can recreate the mini-map crash after doing that. If yes, see if other hud sprites reduce crashing.
