Had a complex one where I was flying something with two types of primary weapons, one red and one green (with a name like [something] pulse) and cluster missiles. Enemies included Shivans (I recall Nahemas, Astaroths, and Seraphim), Terrans (a wing of enemy Perseus named Eta, some Leviathans, an Elysium that seemed to have the invincible flag, as I couldn't damage it before it jumped out, and at least 2 Argos armed with anti-fighter beams), and Vasudans (1 Mentu).

My ship was pretty strong and had a regenerating hull, and was decently fast.

But in the end, it turned out that the whole mission was just some kind of simulation in-universe, and I was a GTVA pilot who was going through some kind of psychological evaluation/test, but it was also really dangerous because I was at risk of being trapped in the simulation, or having other unspecified but really bad things happen...

There was also a Knossos in the distance, but it had a constant vortex that looked like the one from the Stargate franchise. There were various larger capital ships around but I don't remember many details about them. At one point there was also a Faustus, but it had a different class name and the same individual name.

Thanks for the extra testing! That is good to know, and the crash also fixed it in my reproduction cases as well.

With the current nightly the crash does not occur anymore (like expected). But I only played a few standalone missions and the second operation templar mission in tech room so far.

Joe, I was slightly mistaken about the number of missions in Lightning Marshal.  It's technically 29 because there's three Red Alerts, and I told you the number of videos in my playlist when the Red Alerts are combined together.

Opened bug issue https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/issues/7199 - I had three crashes with RC10 - I suspect shockwaves being the culprit but am not sure.

Two crashes in FS Port+MVPs+Ship Interiors+VR when blowing up a freighter in second mission (the jumping in HOL freighters in the middle of mission)
and one crash in FS2 GOTY mission pack+MVPs+Ship Interiors+HD Main Halls+VR

Maybe I'll test tomorrow again without VR and with debug build

But no crashes with RC9
