Surviving a missing turn in PBEM or PBW game.

[Commander G2]

I thought I would start a thread where players can trade tricks on how to survive missing a turn in a simultaneous games and what things they would like MM to do to make it easier to manage. I start out with a few suggestions of my own:

For Players:
1) Toggle that empire flag that tells the AI to not change your orders. I am not sure if this even does anything, but I hear you are better of if you do toggle it.
2) Put fighters into your fleets to prevent them from going through warp points.

For MM:
1) Allow an empire option that tells the AI to do nothing other than uncompleted research, uncompleted builds, and uncompleted orders carried over from the prior turn. Do not create new designs, do not make my old designs obsolete, do not move or build anything.
