Much thanks to Phoenix-D (what happened to A and B and C?). OK, my slow-down request and the autosave are already taken care of. I guess all I can whine about is that they were too subtly implemented or undocumented (didn't see 'em mentioned prominently anyway). The "Save after wormholing" is adequate, though a prolonged one-system sojourn would not be saved.

The time-scale information is hardly noticeable, unless you know it is there, which is fine....except I did not know it was there. Now I do and that problem is solved. And yes, 1/8 speed is fine. My problem was that the game was not slowing down at all, which brings up....

Handy Notice for newbies: The + and - keys that slow/speed the game are the ones above the alphanumerical keyboard. I was trying to use the +/- keys on the numeric keypad, which do NOT work for this purpose, at least for me. That is why I could not slow the game which meant I never had a chance to see the time-scale indicator.

Having fun....BTW can you change difficultu levels in mid-game? (difficultu...a lot like "difficulty", but without the typo)
