I've been playing for a few days, and had gotten used to making use of the automated saved games that appeared to be done every 10-15 minutes.

Next thing I know, there's a period of 4.5 hours without a single automated backup.   Why the discrepancy ?  Is it only certain events that trigger a backup ?   I found myself in an unwinnable situation and wanted to go back 10-15 minutes in the past to reconfigure my ship and saw to my surprise I had no automated game saves for a very long period.   That's a whole afternoon of game-play to redo.

Any way we can have a save game when we enter a System and when we go in orbit around a planet ?


There's also a minor annoyance.   Sometimes the ship gets an incoming transmission just as the ship goes in orbit around the planet, and this cuts off the transmission so the player has no way to know what that message was.  Anyway to replay a cut-of message when we leave the orbit of a planet ?
