I too have had a crash with spaceward ho! but not under system 7.
I'm running system 6.05 on a 4 meg IIfx,
the crash I had is that it unexpectedly quit in the middle of a
HUGE battle.
I had 70+ ships of weapons factor ~14 against the computer's 100+
ships of weapons/shields ~16 and about 1/3 into the battle... crash!

btw, when I later recovered the game I found out I lost the battle
and didn't destroy a single computer ship. I think it's the sign of
a deeper problem.

oh, I forgot to mention that this is Spaceward Ho! v.1.1.2
