After installing Rebellion: Reloaded, I'm unable to properly take command in space battles. I can simulate the results just fine, and the actual combat on the commanded battle works just fine, but the moment the battle ends, and the voice over says the appropriate thing for the result (such as "our ships have made the jump to hyperspace", etc.), I get an immediate crash to desktop, without returning to galaxy view.

This was a common error, not just with Reloaded but for folks with the base game, too. I've had it happen to me. It can happen for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to) issues with ship textures. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the possible fixes are.

 

It may take some searching through old posts, but it's on here somewhere. Try typing the following into Google:

site:forums.swrebellion.com

So an example might be "site:forums.swrebellion.com space crash" (without the quotes, obviously).

 

That will provide results only from this site. If you can't find a solution, try reinstalling. If you neither find a solution nor get it working with reinstall, post back here with the following information:

Your operating system (including whether it is 32 bit or 64)

What version of the game you are using (CD or gog.com)

If the battles work before installing Reloaded

Your favorite Alliance ship (because why not?)
