The only time I don't turn on "autosave every turn" is if I'm playing multiple solo games from the same Savegame folder. When I start a second game, I set it to autosave every second turn, and so on down the list of options.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
Well I must admit that I let SpaceEmpires.info expire. I just never quite got interested, and no one I offered a hosting-home to seemed to do anything. Not that there was ever a real need for it with other domains doing such a good job. The domains for Dominions (2 qnd 3), and Shadowdale MUD, and Shazzys Shard (ultima online free server), are still keeping my games server active.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
ouch
This is a Bachelor Moment. One of those times when I'm glad I've never been married.
Back on the main topic, my PBW game (thanks capnq & geo!) with capnq, kaspar, kotau, and glyn is roaring along. We are currently on turn 96.
Nivek, who originally owned this game, did the setup with some very unusual (for PBW) parameters.
All player planets are NOT the same size, WP's can appear anywhere in the system, there were neutrals, and I think random events are on!
So, the neuts, except the Eee, have all been crushed. The alliances are shaking out - Roman/Federation alliance versus the Space Monkey/Space Dolphin/Mi-Go Triumvirate.
Things are very exciting at the moment.
The Romans have a fleet of 9 Dreadnoughts tearing up my border worlds right now, (I'm the Space Monkeys) and I don't have anything to stop them with.
On the other hand, I have a fleet of 7 Battlecruisers and 9 Battleships preparing to attack what looks like one of the Federation homeworlds.
So, yeah, we're still playing SEIV, and having a very good time with it, thank you very much

Simultaneous turn hotseat games work great for that. No need to worry about saving at all.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
What does your computer have to do with turn 70 mark? SE4 has mind-bogglingly low system requirements; sure it might start taking a while to process turns, but they will process.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
I'm actually playing my AAR game on my 166mhz laptop (with 48 megs of ram!)
Gives me time to write part of the report while the turn processes
