Got large number of Stuck NPC ships in a sector that I also have large number of owned stations in.
Around 200 NPC ships will not move from one of the jump gates.
I am unable to jump into the sector as the game crashes.

Sorry for the later response 
Is that problem still persistent? Could you provide further information: what type of ships and what is their destination (see ship's info tab)?
If your stations offer good deals then many NPC ships will try to dock there, buy/sell wares and then head back. So it may happen that these ships loop to avoid collision on their way to the gate.
However, collision detection is only active if you are in the same sector. So leaving the sector for a while should resolve that traffic jam

Or just check - Other races can trade set to no (for a while) - and after some time - ships will spread arounf near sectors.euclid wrote: If your stations offer good deals then many NPC ships will try to dock there, buy/sell wares and then head back.
