No, that's not what I meant. Omitting exception handlers is normal practice. That way whenever an error creeps into the data, it will be instantly observed.
If you put exception handlers everywhere the program may go on after an error, but with more problems down the road. The difference is only that it looks nicer to the user, whereas Sh4 will just BSOD or CTD. Unless you manage every error, which is quite impossible.
What I am saying is that there are thousands of ids to keep track of, and each mstake can make the game crash. This can happen even in port, because a surprising amount of data is still loaded by the officers desk (like submarine data etc). I've seen by changing just a few small things how quickly I can make the officers desk crash.
