Simple:

After an important turn:

RCE strikes.

trys to revert back when I find out I haven't set an Autosave setting.

Needless to say, my sphearworld will never be finished.

I always set autosave to every 2 turns or every one for that very reason. also, slightly OT, wouldn't it be nice to get a save in the middle of your turn for PBW games? or the ability to open .plr files and continue them. Cuase when you have to commit 30-45 mins at a stretch in the final levels or when you're starting a replacement i wish i could break it up, or at least pause it so i can go to do some more work without minimizing and letting windows crash again.

Cap'n Q, "like the ones in windows". You mean "OK" when it is not ok

No, I mean the "Do you really want to do that?" ones, specifically the "Do you really want to delete these files?" I really doubt I'm ever going to accidentally hold down the shift key while clicking the mouse.

Cap'n Q: Right click on your Recycle Bin icon on your desktop. Select "Properties". Uncheck the "Display delete confirmation dialog box".

I'm so dumb I started a banter war with GrowlTigga.

Back on topic:
I built 3 Space Yard Bases
Eventualy Mothballed them
Recycled the Planetary Ship Yard
Later I found I could not un mothball them.
Had to send a Space Yard Ship to that planet.
ooopsss, That cost me 8 months of production and almost cost me the war. Against AI that is embarrasing. I'm just glad no one saw me do it.

Saluki: Thanks. It never occurred to me to check the Recycle Bin's Properties.

Unfortunately, that only turned off one of the three cases that ask for confirmation.

I just launched a big attack to conquer an enemy planet. I was sure to have enough minesweepers with me, but out of stupidity I had built minelayer components on most of them.
I lost 10 ships, most others were crippled. My only luck was, I could still conquer the planet, and it had a space yard on it.

My enemy now either thinks I'm a complete idiot, or that I have mined his territory big time.

Heck, one dumb bugger I know recently sent a SY ship to a warp point to lay some mines, but after the ship arrived at the WP the dumb prick changed his mind and decided to make a few sats first.

Sure woulda' been smart to put a sat launcher on the Ship yard ship, yup, that woulda' been real handy.

Never saw the AI do anything that dumb.
LOL!
