That could be it, or maybe I have too many items for the game to handle. The crashes happen when I'm using my energy condenser rig to duplicate items. My main issue, though, is with the fact that it saves so that I can't get back into the game and correct the problem. I have to restore it from the last backup.
p.s.
Thanks for following me over to this more properly placed thread to offer me your 2 cents.

Whoops, this is in the old thread. Don't I look noobish?
