Can we get an update on when this is being added? The last word I recall was it was planned but not high priority, that's been over 6 months at least now.
Multiple saves are a staple in space sims for immersive character creation for example a peaceful trader who will never load out a weapon, a federation BHer who only hunts his president's control systems for criminals, a no faction assassin who only makes his money through illegitimate murders, or hard mode a betrayed Pilot's Federation newbie who vows to make his living solely by pirating other members of the Pilot's federation from the start. Having to delete your save to take on a new persona is an unacceptable mechanic for a space sim. We all have our jack of all trades character, if you want to create immersion allow us to RP new characters.
There are an array of other benefits to this addition, but I'd rather just get a dev response on time frame rather than go into what many have written hundreds of times.
