Just to check, I'm getting a similar crash with the Huntercraft. My game crashes with the Windows error message (like my camera crash bug) when a weapon hits it, while looking at the ship in third-person (I'm flying it and looking at it from the outside). I don't get a crash if I collide with an enemy ship in first-person view though.
Using 369RC7 Debug with my own tables obviously. POF was edited in Modelview due to gunpoints (1x4P, 2x2S) and mass. Textures, using a grey-purplish version of "aerofight.pcx" only. No shine textures were added into the VP I made (because they glow green and not grey).
I (have yet to use / don't have any plans to use) the Killercraft though, so I can't really report the same problem as ngtm1r.
