Yes, each mission is separated into several objectives and the game autosaves after each objective. The autosaves themselves so not require a lot of time to do. In fact, you don't even notice FL saving. You can also save yourself when you are docked.

So it's gunna be a bit like Mafia, in that every now and then there'll be a little "auto-saving" in the corner? I liked that because when your really 'into' a game you do sometimes forget to save!! Which can be very annoying when you get blasted away by some liitle ****!!!

Yes, but unlike mafia, you can save when you're docked (as EB says). So you don't have to wait for an autosave. Very neat idea, being able to save when you're docked! I applaud DA once more.

It is? There is a lot of good space game that is at bargin prices. You should try the X-wing games esp. Tie Figther; and the Freespace games at cheap prices right now.

Thats alright DATD. Dont worry about it

Kind of like the save points in Privateer. Only when docked. But during those days there was no autosave.

I came. I saw. I conquered. And sometimes get conquered.

what was your old one again EB (sig), I forgot lol

PS: i thought they scraped the ingame saving...remember, your about to go into hyperspace to freedom when your ship blows up... but if you can save then u don't worry about it, and then the fun of the game is degraded... topic posted around 2-3months ago
