Bad entry in the goods.ini - likely to be equipment mounted upon it - wrongly named.

Paste up your goods.ini entry for your ship here if you cannot solve it. However, i TEST ships by just giving them the three basics.

A scanner, power plant, engine: and using existing equipment rather than anything you have made!!

ie:
[Good
nickname = your_hull
category = shiphull
ship = your_fighter
price = 6000
ids_name = 12013
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\cv_starflier.3db

[Good
nickname = your_package
category = ship
hull = your_hull
addon = ge_gf1_engine_01, internal, 1
addon = ge_fighter_power01, internal, 1
addon = ge_s_scanner_01, internal, 1

Seeing as its then either wrongly referenced entries (between the ship = your_fighter and the ships nickname in the shiparch.ini entry, or if its between the nickname = your_hull and the hull = your_hull between the packages entry. However, if it was you should crash on the way to the dealer instead - as you shouldn't see it.

Finally - check your names for hardpoints in the ships CMP file are correctly named too
