That's the main reason why I usually don't play simultaneous games although it would be much fairer against the AI. If it takes more than half an hour in the later game for me to make the turn, it is annoying that I can't interrupt, save what I did and continue later.
That should not be too difficult for MM to implement.

OMG, when you're almos done with a turn, and gtg but leave your computer on and it frezzes and now you have an extra 2 hrs of work (which you just perfected).

AHHHHHHH, this i want to not be a problem, no?

i would like to see an option on the starmap editor that would allow you to select a position on the starmap then randomly create a starsystem at that location. then edit the system as usual from there.

"7. Added - The Log Window will now return you to the item you had selected the
Last time you were in the window."

This is excellent!
If the same could be done for other large lists like construction, ship, colonies list it would make things a lot easier in large/late games.

Facility that adds facility space to a planet

You DO realize how unbalancing/unrealistic this is, correct? Maybe if there is a one per planet restriction...

Actaully never thought about it before since this was someone elses idea. However I would think this could work if it was like Atmospheric Converter. After say a year you get 25% more facilities.

This would not be needed as much, if all the facility abilities could also be used by bases, like research and intel.
