This is the first time I've had this pop since the additional debug messages were added, but I've not gotten to play much lately. It used to be a highly likely occurrence whenever I destroyed the cockpit of a spawned large grid ship in Ares at War (non-beta). But, sometimes I can destroy ships dozens of times before it occurs. I've never had it happen on a small grid ship. If I take a save after the ships are spawned in but before they are destroyed and this crash happens, reloading that save results in the error not triggering when the same ship is then destroyed again:
