I'm having this same issue

Search forum for "framework crash" or google "eaw framework crash", also check if you are at max popcap or crew cap (not played TR in awhile but should be shown in the UI if a cap limit is reached).

Just had this happen to me. Started a new game and right after I took my first planet I could no longer see anything in the ship tabs and could not build any new space structures. Had nothing to do with pop cap as I was not even half way towards my cap.

It's either lack of ship crews, or framework crash

I too am having this same issue. If it is a framework crash is there anything that can be done?

load earlier save

For me specificly this happend whenever i take over a Planet just as the Week advances or atlast close to it.

So timing planetary invasions to have a buffer before the Week ends (atleast one progress bar thing) or waiting until the next one starts helped me, though for precaution I would recommend saving before battles so you wont lose much progress should this occour.

I'm having this issue also. Large Known Galaxy, Recruit difficulty.

After taking 5 or 6 worlds, the Politics, Space Station, Small Ship and Large Ship tabs come up completely blank, even after reloading a save prior to the issue occurring.

The last one wasn't even a full invasion, it was the space battle before the ground war. Finished the space battle, and had no space-based construction ability.

That sounds reasonable and a great observation, I avoid saving close to cycle start/end to avoid corrupted saves which is maybe why I never ever got a framework crash either. Remember, the game does alot of scripted stuff e.g. finance calculations close to end/start of cycle and interrupting that in theory would lead to bad things.

Remember in the old days when saving took 10 minutes ? But we also never had these issues - the scripts always had time to finish back then.

Well that is my suspicion at least.

This "blank" menu screen error occured today twice. in different campaigns. is there any fix to this?

Issue still present. Playing as Hapes after taking over a couple of planets all space building trees vanish. unplayable.

seems like the UI showing all the additional information has also vanished for me when this bug happend

Can't play as Hapes either. Bug always appears. Every other faction is fine.
