Hi I have seen that others have this issue as well so just to bring it to the developer's attention. Need to Ctrl-Alt-Delete when this happens. I do have steam overlay off, no submods, and have verified games files but freezes still occur.

Freeze can happen any time for me, music will continue playing, seen it 3x during first 5 cycles in my rep. game when:

- I only have pathfinder deployed and while CIS forces spawn in garrison ships game froze up (no ongoing battle)
- While advancing with my whole fleet in a big blob towards CIS station (no ongoing battle)
- While battling the CIS station with my fleet (ongoing battle)

As others have indicated it does seem like the freeze is related to positioning/pathing of some kind as it happens even without anything going on except movement.
