When playing in a window, I'd like to be able to alt-tab away to do something else while I wait for my O2 to regenerate, or crew to fix up my ship post-battle.
At the moment this is impossible because the game auto-pauses when the game loses focus.
I'd like an option to disable this behaviour.
Suggestion: Make "pause on defocus" optional

It is. Start a game, hit escape, options, then click "Window auto-pause" until it says "Off".

Don't feel too bad ... I was going crazy trying to figure out how to stop the game from pausing. For me, I like to find an enemy early game who can't damage me; then I sit and let him attack while I level up my shields, engine, and pilot. I usually rotate the crew around so multiple members can be proficient in different stations, in case one of them dies later in the game.

Oh. I just learned that the option does not apply if you are playing in full screen. Is there a work around for this? I like playing in full screen with the "stretch" option so everything is nice and big and easy to see. I was really disappointed when I realized the defocus option is lost on full screen. Suggestions?
