Game crashes when firing missiles at a shiparched asteroid.

... on the road again. Problem doesnt appear anymore, still cant see why it happened.

I am going to go back to modifying my freelancer trial after playing WoW for too long. I find it fun, experimentating with the game and downloading your mods searching for some files which dont come with the trial, especially br_capships.mat right now.

Anyway... I have some fun making an asteroid field with some of the asteroids made in shiparch.ini to make them float. Later I am going to add some 'puffing' (as I have mentioned once before in general editing forum) to make them move around.

A really nasty thing which seems horrible because I am planning to make my game with almost only missile weapons is that whenever a missile gets near this asteroid:

[Ship
ids_name = 1
ids_info = 1
nickname = asteroid_enc
LODranges = 10000
type = PLANET
DA_archetype = solar\asteroids\models\ast_ice_10.3db
material_library = solar\asteroids\models\ast_ice.mat <- this one didnt come with the trial, only parts of came from downloads, guess how, hehe
linear_drag = 1.000000
mass = 1000.000000
hit_pts = 10000

... the game chrashes. This is the missile:

I hope someone can help me.

EDIT: By the way, the asteroids are NPC
