Default Re: Some remark from a stars! player

Not allowing people to save & restart their PBEM turns was intended (IIRC) to prevent the exploit of saving immediately before combat, letting the combat play out, and, if the combat went poorly, reloading the saved Version of the turn and avoiding said combat. Or other similar exploits (re-trying colonization of a ruins planet until a "good" tech appears, for instance).
