Got this running a debug build of FRED over Omniscapers ST conversions. It was working fine, then I tried changing the defiants shield ani, and it stopped working. Changing the ships.tbl back didn't help, nor did rebooting, so I'm kinda stumped. It manifests itself in FS2 by showing me the loading screen when I click run on the launcher before immediately dumping me back to desktop, the novelty of which, as you can no doubt imagine, wears off rapidly.

Never mind, sorted i. Apparently there's an upper limit on tech description length, though this is the first time I'd run into it.
