If you open up the PlayerTech.entity file four blocks down are these lines:

    frigateInfo
        Page:0
            count 6
            entityDefName "FrigateTechScout"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechLight"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechLongRange"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechSiege"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechAntiFighter"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechColony"

This is the list of ships the frigate factory can build. If you add anything to that list dont forget to update the count, and also any ships need to be added in to the entity.manifest if you're using the Entrenchment/Diplomacy expansions.

I've also tried, and came up with the same minidump as Vassari.  Any thoughts on this?

That should work perfectly fine. However thinking on your problem a little more I have just realised what your problem probably is.

Are you using the referencedata provided with the ForgeTools? if so these files are out of date and will cause an immediate minidump. There are some pre-converted (working) files floating around in other topics but I can't find the link atm.

V_c your problem is that you have a frigate factory making 11 ships when it only has the capacity for 9 blueprints.

Aslo you might want to change the pirate ship entity files and add strings.

Ya split it up so that you are having 9 on one page only

you should probably look at a list like this

frigateInfo
        Page:0
            count 6
            entityDefName "FrigateTechScout"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechLight"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechLongRange"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechSiege"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechAntiFighter"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechColony"
        Page:1
            count 6
            entityDefName "FrigateTechCarrier"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechUtility1"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechUtility0"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechHeavy"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechStarbaseConstructor"
            entityDefName "FrigateTechAntiModule"

so move it around...
