That's what I'm talking about. I didn't actually say "auto" save, but with manual save, it's not an issue due to being able to overwrite the last game.

Under Ship design. A filter for ship size. (I.E. 100kt to 2500kt in drop down buttons that can be moddifed. And/Or by clase name.)

So that we could better pull up the type of ship we want.

Filters would be far too click intensive... why would you want to use them?

Just turn off the stupid alpha sorting, and the ships all fall in order of size (same as in the data files)


Same thing applies to components. Turn off the alpha sorting, and you'll have a nice catalog of components, grouped by similar uses.
This is even more pronounced in mods which intentionally arrange the datafiles in a better way.

Slick, I mean turn on the autosave option so it'll automatically overwrite the oldest save. No need to delete any saves then. Other than the autosaves I'll only keep one save for when I'm about to launch a risky attack (wimpy huh?) or try something stupid. But yeah I know what you mean. There are standard UI conventions and the ctrl-click to select multiple files is one of them.

Thanks. I had been deleting them before there were 10 because I thought the number would just get too big.
