Aaron!
I'm a long time se4 fan... i bought both se4 and se4 gold
please please add these - they are THE MOST IMPORTANT imho
1. Save partial turns for multiplayer games... with current pbw games, a turn often takes more than a few hours... ie, more than a couple of sittings - please allow partial saves turns. Better yet, when you hit end turn, allow the system to load that 'turn' file and continue issueing commands, thus modifying the players turn file.
2. SHIP combat INITIATIVE. please add something which interleaves the ship movement and shooting in combat... base it on speed and experience please -- fastest and most experienced crews go first
Don't let ALL ships for one side go first... it just wrecks the game.
