I think the crash happens because of the auto-build on your locations when using modded factions. That, or the faction doesn't have a proper defined loadouts.ini.
More precisely, if a loadout is broken somehow (such as an invalid CopyOf reference) then yes, this can cause anything from simply the craft and weapons spawning in mid air before gibbing and falling to the floor respectively (if the actor mentioned is invalid) to the game itself flat-out crashing.
I recommend trying to narrow it down to whichever factions you're playing with right now, and seeing if others are having similar problems. Check if there are updated loadout files as well.
