I know the developer has a different job now, and he's said on several occasions that he unfortunately does not have the time to work on this game. So, just to say that I completely understand that, and if there's no time to implement these features, then that's perfectly fine. But, if there is any chance to get a stop command and the ability so save within a mission, that would be amazing!

For the first, there are numerous times when I give an order to my soldiers, but then just want them to stop doing what they're doing, and stand in place. However, as far as I can see, there's no way to do that, so I have to issue them attack commands to just where I want them to stand. Often times, this is not a problem, but other times it is, such as, for instance, when I want them to stop just at the edge of a spitter tower attack range.

As for saving the game within a mission, the reason why that would be great is that some missions can take a lot of time, say if there are 7+ hives, or if the only viable tactic to win involves slow creeping and a lot of micromanaging. It would be really great to be able to save, and then continue playing later, if I don't have time to finish the mission now.

Thanks!
