No crash, it just isn't working any more. When I try designing a transport with supply containers instead of cargo bays then warning about needing more than 50% of the space occupied by cargo bays doesn't go away and the design can't be built. I installed the latest patch when i re-installed the game. I wonder if the patch removed this tweak.

I learned about substituting supply for cargo on this forum. I was hopeing that the guy who came up with the idea was still around.

That was probably me. I had been wanting to convert transports to support ships and mentioned this on the Boards when I realized how easy it was to do. It has continued to work as I set it up through all the patches, including the latest betas. All I can guess is that Vulture-B has hit on your most likely problem. Did you change the NUMBER of abilities so it would know to look for this added ability? If that's not it, then I can't guessw why it doesn't work for you, because it works for me and always has.
