ScrumbleShip is the most accurate space combat simulation devised to date. Gather resources, construct a capital ship out of individual blocks, then pilot it with AI or human help against other players.

You would not believe how hard I had to work because of this ship.
A friendly Koliup wandered into the IRC the other day, asking that I put his ship on the Server. I happily obliged, he tried to connect... Crash.
That's curious. Let's try again... Crash. Maybe it's the new ship? Crash. Maybe it's some weird windows thing? Crash... Crash. Crash. Crash. Crash.
I spent about 24 hours solid trying to debug this particular issue. It turns out that, when someone on the server deletes every block in their ship, the ship doesn't vanish, but instead stays around as a ghost that crashes ONLY windows users. Koliup, Walloping, and Wazubaba were instrumental in solving these problems.
On the plus side, I fixed a few minor memory leaks while I was searching for the problem, so ScrumbleShip should be leaner and meaner than ever!
