I downloaded the latest binary and tarball from the download thread.
Started a new game. Started three actually.

Without fail all my ships have spontaneously exploded by turn 7.
On average a lost a ship every other turn.

Are you sure it it spontaneous? Does the sitrep say anything?
Do they blow up immediately on arriving at another star? -- if so they are being destroyed by space monsters.

Space monster frequency and strength is still being worked on.

I had suspected such a thing thinking about it later.
I assume that the frequency of monsters will be tempered somewhat.

The powerful ones will only be spawned further from colonies. Everything else is still a work in progress.
