I wonder if there is anything in common when this happens over multiple maps........
I've wondered about this, too. Here are all the things in common that I could think of, that I am sure of, between the above 4 maps:
One mini-turret spawned.
One defense sent spawned. (I don't recall if Fred had more than one of these, or not. But for the first 3 maps, we only had one of these.)
At least 3 blocks spawned.
At least one engineer and one junkie.
I wish this list was more helpful.
Perhaps some more games with just this combination would help. I want to say that I have been in games with this exact combination without a crash occurring, but I'm not 100% sure of that. I also wonder if there is something unique in these maps, in comparison with other maps in our collection, that could be contributing to the crashes.
Here are some actions I think we can rule out, so we get a shorter list of potential culprits. These actions were not taken over the course of these maps.
No offensive sents were spawned.
No autoguns were spawned.
No energy walls were spawned.
No vehicles were spawned.
No other mini-turrets were spawned.
No other types of turrets were spawned.
Shieldblast was not used.
As far as my actions go for the above 4 maps:
Boots were not used.
Magnet was not used.
Teleporter was not used.
Triple was not used.
DMM was not used.
Repulsion was not used.
Bolt was not used.
Remote Dmg was not used.
Remote Safety was not used.
Poison Blast was not used.
Mega Blast was not used.
Chain lightning was not used.
Safety Sphere was not used.
PlusOneModifier was not used.
The only skills I can be reasonably confident in saying I used on all 4 of the above maps would be these:
MakeMagicWeapon
FireBall
RemoteMax
LightningRod
MaxModifier
LightningBeam
Thing is, I wasn't using any of these skills when all 4 crashes occurred. On the 1st and 4th I was just standing in the base, and in the 2nd and 3rd I was in combat, but only shooting at some monster with whatever gun I was using.

6/19/12 (7:17 PM ET) Suntemple:
Larry and I were the only two on at the time, and the server went down. Larry mentioned that one of the bots was acting strangely right before the crash. Specifically, Larry ordered the bot to occupy his turret, but then said turret (for whatever reason) was not where the bot expected it to be. This resulted in the bot running into the wall where said turret was previously located, and then the crash occurred.

Actually the bot died with the turret the previous wave. When the bot came back to the position on the new wave, instead of stopping and saying "I'm in position", the server crashed and the bot kept walking until it hit a wall. Timing may have been a coincidence.
The bug that is the worst on me is that selectflight no longer works. Confirmed with both danno and locrian.

Same as for any engineer - increases the armor of the vehicle or turret you are in.
However, there is a special case that if the game is not a team game, then armor vampire will work for sentinels.
But that applies to all engineers - there is nothing specific for sentinel specialists. So these abilities are not as useful for sentinel specialists as for other specialists - which is why you can't buy as many levels.

what about removing them since they do nothing for sent specialist and give them something else? like shield regen or something useful. just an idea.

I remember server crash that happened exactly when engineer player was kicked from game, several seconds after his client-side crash-death.
might be related. it smells suspicious
Danny: these abilities can be useful when you play with other engineers and they allow you to use one of their constructions.
I would personaly like to see new type of offensive sentinel which would be only available to sentinel specialists. All other subclasses get their special stuff, but sentinel specialist can only summon more of the basic sentinels

How about a sentinel that:
...shoots scorpion chain links
...heals players at a long distance between long intervals of time
...is remote controlled
...(brother's idea) shoots AND heals simultaneously
...(brother's idea) can be put on a vehicle

7/3/12 (8:30 PM ET) Conduit:
My AM was firing his flak when he was hit by a monster and ghosted to a new location. He was continually firing the flak until ghosting was complete. Unfortunately River was hit by my AM's flak shots, killing River, before my AM's ghosting was complete. (This was a regular monster invasion game.)
7/6/12 (4:48 PM ET) Squander:
Zog's engineer was killed by a fire titan, and the server crashed immediately after. Larry recorded the game, and so he can hopefully provide more details, like if Zog was stepped on or hit by a fireball, or whatever.

I was specting Clueless WM half of minute ago. She was killed by FireTitan's fireball, then server immediately crashed.

Just reviewed that demo on squader from the 6th and noticed that zog's blocks did not disappear before the server crashed, but I did receive his death message.

7/14/12 (9:33 PM ET) Concentrate:
My AM fell off the map, and ghosted to a new location. After ghosting was complete I activated the globe, was hit by a regular titan and then the server went down.
Mak mentioned that he ghosted to the outer edge of the roof and spawned under/next to a titan before the server went down.
I'm not sure if it was me, Mak, both of us, or neither of us that caused the crash. But I thought I would mention it. Thanks.

Get healed by a sentry while dying -> crash
Summon 2 or more monsters, heal anyone and die at same time -> crash
Sentry cause most of crashs.
Medic some but randomly.
A found lot of bugs, it's easy to crash the server ^^
