Save slots, and save safety

Hi,

Would be great if we could have some save slots, in addition to the perma-save system we have now. It would be nice for testing too, like declare war and get wasted, but without actually wasting hours of gameplay.

Also, are saves safe from updates ? Will you ever break saves ? Or add something that needs a fresh start to activate, like a new planet or a redo of the map or anything ? I know it's Early Access and it may happen, but it's always good to know.

The reason we didn't go for individual slots is that the game is supposed to be easy on you. The current state can be complicated, but you are not supposed to be attacked without provocation anymore, starting from the latest patch. Losing a fleet, starting a war are supposed to be reversible events at the gameplay level. I feel that relying on a manual save system usually makes games much more annoying to complete, because designers assume that reloading is fine.

Our policy is to not break game saves. We haven't done so in the four first updates, including one that changed data structures. We add save conversion systems every time we change something. It might happen accidentally, but not on purpose.

I disagree as i think giving choice to player is better, but alright.

If i manually copy the save folder, and then do crazy things for testing purpose, it's fine to assume i can simply replace my files with the previously copied folder to restore my "normal game" ?

I had some troubles with Routes, had to spend some time testing new ones.
Now I am the weakest of the companies and lost reputation with some factions.
Give the player Hard Saves. Period.
