-after spawning in the game, enter a ship core and go to build mode
-open the inventory screen
-switch from survival to creative mode (this didn't matter if it was right after joining the game or after half an hour)
-no other items in hotbar for creative mode
-scroll down in the block-select screen to find the Console and Pipe blocks
-drag the Console block on to the far left slot in the hotbar
-drag the pipe added adjacent just to the right of the console on the hotbar
-close the inventory screen and while in build mode look around and attempt to place the console block on the ship
-game crashes shortly after adding them to the hot bar - only got to place the console block once
