<r>I used mine for the first time in a game last night. I had to scrap some buildings, I liked having fighters and other defensive weapons on my world just in case I was on the defensive. Anyway, It didn't take long to see that they had some flaws. I set two worlds to attack one, so I had a shot ...

<t>I've been lucky enough not to run into the problem of a bad save file yet.<br/>
<br/>
I can agree that an auto-save feature should be game play time based without the pause getting in the way of the save unless the game has remained paused. 50 years would be a good trigger to save, but this is ...

<r>Will it be possible to get an update where we can move the dialog boxes? I find that having to close the production window to click another star system (that hides behind that window) then open it back up to build frieghters (mines, spies, informants also) is a bit more tedious. I can click away ...
