i just realized safe mode is for video rendering of lighting effects and such
piece o crap that config.exe
remember when u first uploaded the mod with missing files and it was crashing the engine sometimes on startup for me..
i guess that prolly coz every time u start a random ship is generated for the main menu screen
u could use this to check for ship errors in the system log
this is how it looks for me on start/exit when i get a ship with no errors:

notice the "ERROR: Techniques: Find duplicate technique name: rain"
now when its also raining at the main menu my log gets spammed with "ERROR: SetCurrentBlock: unknown technique <> first character is <(null)>"
