Good point.

Another use would be rumor control.

If you found a bug it would be easy to re-create the conditions in a sandbox/skirmish save and post the save to the community for repeated first hand experience. As opposed to video and descriptions.

Well it could be usefull in PvP (but not ranked) as well. Imagine few friends playing a game on gigantic map that takes around 2 hours total - saving to continue next day would be usefull.

Just an idea though not based on any real data.

Fair enough. And I agree a preferable solution would just be to allow the saving of matches when it's just player solo sandboxing or players vs or with AI.

No not offended, after all it may be true. Never the less my request stands.

I'm not saying a special effort needs to be made or anything, I'm not in a hurry. But maybe next time someone is tinkering in this area anyway they might throw back in the save button or function.

If it never happens, I'll live.

Thank you, I may end up doing that from time to time. I'll go ahead and request a button to launch said exe be added to FAF

This button to launch said exe isn't there (and probably won't ever be), because FAF encourages to play online in multiplayer. Without people playing multiplayer online FAF can't exist.

I see. Thank you

Yup I still want it. Just chalk it up to random Internet person weirdness (And really, as far as Internet weirdness goes, I think this is pretty mild. )

Stop trolling my threads to tell me what I shouldn't want.

We're different styles of player, and yes your kind out number my kind. But if that mattered this kind of game wouldn't exist in the first place. We're all in the minority here.

And yeah you can save skirmish games in FA, but not FAF. Technically FAF doesn't even have skirmish mode anymore, it has multiplayer with one player and AIs.

FWIW I have little interest in playing with humans. If I wanted to d*** race I'd post a photo or go do it out in the real world where there is money/power in it. (Setting aside that class mobility is a myth of course.)

Fortunately, I've been told that eventually the lobby presets will include AI and color selection, which will make emulating the also missing "restart match" button possible. Which in turn will obviate some, but not all of the need for savable skirmishes.

So again, my request stands.
