I can save game only if quit it is ok.Like diablo 2.However if die i have start new game?
Btw how long this game is?

Yes.

you can make a run through the game in around an hour, but since space bar pauses, you can take 3 hours or more depending on your play style.

I would like to see much longer game where i can play with some penalties after death.This have to by very boring,play again and again same sector

The idea is, if you die, you die. The game isn't designed for long play-sessions with characters that you've grown fond of over days or weeks - it's designed for short bursts of space-battling fun followed, almost certainly, by a hideous death. I personally find it irresistible

Sectors and event outcomes are randomized. You never play the exact same game twice.
Death is permanent, but I like to believe you learn something from most deaths that you can use in future playthroughs.

Yes. Like "never even get close to giant space spiders". A rule to live by that one. ^_^

Well, although I've lost a crewman twice so far to the Spiders, on the third time I had that encounter I had a message come up that my crew helped beat off the spiders and got a reward. I think it all depends how many crew you have (I had five crew when I beat off the spiders, I only had three crew when I was defeated by them).

No, it's random.

Only time I've not lost anyone to those damn spiders is when I've had the Anti-Bio Beam Weapon. Unless I have that now I just run away from the spiders! LOL
