Reproduce: Saving a newly created ship, opening a saved game
Expected: Trying to save a ship or load a game (and other interactions with the file system I guess)
Observed: Crash to desktop without any error messages
Running Windows 8. This is fixed by running the exe with admin privileges.
I think it's because I installed the game in the Program Files folder, and Windows 8 doesn't like programs changing files in that folder, without having admin rights.

OK, I'm going to have to read up on where Windows 8 wants the game to put its files. Thanks for the report!
