max_missiles=36

Having max_missiles greater than 18 causes strange effects and can segfault oolite.

This was fixed in test release 1.71 (specifically, r1283). Are you using Oolite 1.65? If so, crash reports are essentially meaningless since the game has changed a lot since then. (Test releases are available here.)

Incidentally, the limit is actually 16. :-)

I think I have located a possible cause for the problem. What I need now is a reliable way to reproduce it. Do I just set a value greater than 16 in shipdata.plist for any ship? Or in a savegame? In the second case, do you happen to have any such savegame available?

Using trunk version, I'm editing shipdata.plist and after that loading old savegame.
Using 20 for max missiles will make it apper to be 16.

Well, that's the expected behaviour. You can have a maximum of 16 missiles so that's OK. I was more concerned with the crash scenario.

Try with max_missiles=36

OK, resolved. Commiting shortly to SVN. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

36 max missiles? I envisage a ship built around one of these:
