It seems to me as an obvious feature but I haven't found it anywhere. If it was discussed already, I apologize.

The game interface is nicely designed to start playing the game within a few mouse clicks. I think this could be expanded more with an addition of a quick save button (i.e. F5). Which would be basically a forced autosave. Just for laziness purposes because manual saving through menu is hard :-P.

An advanced version of this might be multiple rolling quicksaves with their number customizable in menu options (say from 1 to 10).

For complete slothfulness these quicksaves might bear the name of the current colony so we won't overwrite a quicksave from different colony. After this stage there would be no need to save manually through menu - we would have a customizable number of rolling saves for each colony - just by hitting one button!

Of course, a quickload function would be nice as well. It would just load the last quicksave with the name of the current colony.
