Forgot one of the downfalls to playing a new version is crashing. Just had a game crash and lost a couple of hours worth of gameplay.

Could we get an optional auto-saving system that would automatically save the game every 15/30/60 minutes?

Or every time you take off from a station/planet maybe, the way Escape Velocity did it?

This won't work though if landing/docking/etc still takes no time at all, and all the pirate fleets chasing you are still there when you take off (as has been case in previous versions of starsector)

Luckily the Autosave mod has been updated. It will remind you to save and can save at time intervals as well. But due to SS's save times, the autosave is disabled by default

[Histidine]

SS's save times need to be greatly improved before autosave becomes viable. It's tolerable now, but when you're running half a dozen faction mods at once...

It works the other way around, too; I'd say that working autosave is a strong reason to do something about the save times.

[BillyRueben]

Yeah, the save times are a little lengthy, but I would stomach a 45 second loss in playtime ever half hour over the game suddenly crashing and losing an entire session's worth of progress.

I'm finding vanilla save times to be super snappy atm and wouldn't mind a base game autosave feature. That said, mods do bloat the time a lot...
