Some remark from a stars! player

Originally posted by Phoenix-D:
"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)."

You can't do that in simultanious play..

I've never played simultaneous, so I'll take your word for it. So, while the "feature" of not saving mid-turn for multiplayer makes sense for non-simultaneous, it may not cause an "exploit" to be able to save a simultaneous-mode game in mid-turn & come back later. Of course, maybe that's difficult to program...
