I would love for a 'Save' button to be added to the main menu in-game (or anywhere you like) so that we could save mid-turn. Sometimes turns get long and you never know if you may have to drop what you're doing because someone just called or texted you. I mostly play this game at work and I work retail. You never know when a customer is gonna walk in. The ability to save a game on command during a turn would be great. I had my entire turn finished except for moving two ships and a customer came in needing directions. I had to use the GPS on my phone and it closed ST 4X automatically. I lost at least five minutes, if not ten, of work towards my Empire. I know five to ten minutes isn't much, but that's not the point. I had gotten some lucky rolls during combat. When I play that combat phase again, the rolls may be different and end up making a big difference.
TLDR: I want to save any time I like during my turn. Thoughts?

Yes, I sometimes press home button to return to desktop and lose most of a turn if the game has to restart fully.

I do too. You're right, sometimes you need to do a million things per turn.
I personally have another problem. XD I feel like I always have to solve all problems before quitting. So I'd build the habd, move the ships, select the treaties and all that for the turn, just to have peace of mind. But without a save button, well, one gotta move ahead a turn and... More problems to deal with >.<

I just don't want to leave things undone. If I could save when I was done with my turn, it would alleviate the temptation of playing another turn or twelve. |

You can do that by exiting the game through the main menu. Doing that allows you to save at that moment and re-entering the game at that point. |

If you quit the game or go to the menu directly after you tap "End Turn" then you haven't lost any state. That is the best rhythm of play atm.

Doing that allows you to save at that moment and re-entering the game at that point. It's a self-control issue, really. I know that the game saves as soon as I hit 'End Turn' and I could quit there, but I always want to see my notifications for the new turn, then solve the issues. Afterwards I tell myself, "I've already done all my colony management, I may as well just move my units and finish this turn. I'll just stop next turn." This cycle repeats and I lose two hours. Back on topic though, I would like to be able to save at any point, not just at the beginning/end of a turn. |

Sounds like the "just one more turn" issue ... I have this too. This leads to continuous gameplay  |
