It's savegame compatible with 17? I have a good game going on maso and would hate to lose it you see . I'm playing on from an hour old save, I just thought the savegame might be useful for weeding out crash issues.

I have a hunch that what went wrong was I accidentally saved over the autosave slot; after that it never stored in the autosave slot but rather previousautosave. Also, I had created a ship that had too much space used (apparently captured Hyperion shrinkers aren't counted when you load a game ); it didn't appear in the list of ships to build so I redesigned one that was under the space limit, and called it the same ("Observer"). No warning. A bit later there were two "Observer" ships in the build list . The game managed to load saves up until the point in this save though.

WRT the save games... it's a beta. So you pays your money and you takes your chances.

I know it's a beta, that's why I'm posting this and stating which build I'm using, so they may use it to hunt down the bugs and know if it's something they've fixed already . I'm sticking with build 17 until my game is done, or unplayable, whichever comes first. What's WRT?
