I've managed to crash allegiance twice by doing this.

if you're in a Bios pod and in a sector with a tele,
pressing 'R' starts ripcord sequence. At the end of the sequence allegiance crashes!

Heh.

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

Avoiding the crash itself is not much of a problem. Finding the root cause of this requires a bit more time.

Thanks for figuring this out - I was going to head down that path, it's nice having you do the leg work for me!

You can most likely blame me for this bug - which was a result of the "Alliances" feature changes (Rock found the specific change in R5Contrib r392)

Rock holler in IRC or post back here again if you can confirm removing the unnecessary change in r392 takes care of this.
