After some point dealing damage to a ship, specifically a ship with the new power system (though not confirmed to only apply to such vessels) crashes the game. The weapon used to do this seems to be a missile, though I cannot confirm that this is the only weapon with which this happens.
There are a lot of unknowns to me for this one. The logs will be posted below (for once by me) as well as the specific craft with which I was doing the shooting with and destroying of.
