I'm assuming you mean the global options, not per planet ones right?

If so, YES!

Though it would be nice to be able to save the home planet's options, since you are guaranteed to have at least one of these.

Some sort of profiles maybe. Galaxy-wide default profile, and planet specific profiles...

Strangely enough, even though this is by far the more popular one, this was a duplicate. Go figure.

For 5.003:

* Courtesy of the current 0000001 on the mantis vote tallies: Added "Copy To Disk" and "Copy From Disk" buttons to bottom of the controls screen.
** Copy To File creates a copy of your global controls (excluding per-planet stuff, but including ship designs) as "copiedGlobalControlSet.dat" in your RuntimeData directory.
** Copy From File prompts you to confirm first, and if you confirm it overwrites all your global control (excluding per-planet stuff, but including ship designs) from what's in "copiedGlobalControlSet.dat" in your RuntimeData directory. If you don't actually have such a file it doesn't do anything when you confirm.


There's obviously other things that could be asked for (being able to specify the filename to save or load, saving/loading a particular planet's per-planet settings to/from a specified filename, etc) but those would have taken more time than I had available and it's typically best to start with the core of the request and move from there.
