Included in GOF 1.1.x
Most battle crashes are due to a bug popping when a ship is dismasted. We have hope about it being solved in GOF 1.2 but I decided to post this hack for GOF 1.1.
The hack is very dirty, as the only way I've found to stop the bug is stopping the masts from falling, reducing the efficacy of one of the most used tactics.
With the hack in place some ships can have her sails worked down till 80% while some others only to 60%. To the best of my knowledge no ship can have her sails worked down to zero, and some ones will maintain a good amount of speed and maneuverability.
Anyway, even totally dismasted ships can spin like crazy electrons in COAS, so the hack is not so disbalancing.
And the game doesn't crash like before. (Of course, crashes for other reasons are not stopped.)

ADDED: If you are not experiencing crashes when the ships are dismasted don't install it, it degrades the game experience and fixs only the dismasting bug.

The hack can be used with or without Commodore in Command or Mates Voices.
Copy the file in Program\SEA_AI.
