So using the Drak fraction I traded for a freighter. Now that the freighter was mine I went back to one of my planets and had the freighter stay there for a turn then I sent it to a Drak planet. So the next move I connect to the Drak and get another trade deal/route -nope- I get a message that the freighter doesn't have a planet assigned to it. What? -and I cannot find a way to assign a planet to the freighter so I repeat the same process. Doesn't happen again. So I decide to upgrade it and try again -again I cannot establish trade with the Drak. Ok I double check if I have unused trade route available and I have one unused trade route. OK so I send my newly acquire but useless freighter back to my nearest planet ungraded this time to a colony ship and instead colonize a class 25 nearby. A few turns later I get a crash and I am looking at my computer desktop and I have submitted the crash report.
