Summary0001730: Autosaves to name themselves slightly better
DescriptionA thought I had:

autosaves should name themselves with the name of your home system, then the ingame time of save:

for example, my current one would be something along the lines of

Vestibule of Creation 12.50.00.sav

the OS already keeps track of when the autosave was created, it neednt be redundant.. This way, each campaign has a theoretically unique, and modifiable save 'name', and will be organized in such a way that the autosave tells you about the campaign, not just a point in real time

Actually just making it homeworld and time is going to result in a lot of duplicate file names for those of us that will play a given game over a number of days around the same time.

D'oh! Yes, that makes perfect sense. I think it was the 12:50 example that threw me. That and the fact that I should be asleep right now.

So yeah, this is a good idea, carry on...

:p no worries, 12:50 is just where my game was at the time of conception
