Please add multiple save slots!

DerpyTheXenomorph · Dec 6, 2017

I don't want to buy the game and skins again just for another CMDR and I don't want to reset my save in case I ever want to return to my current save.

Adding multiple save slots 2 or 3 at least will allow you to replay the game again to re-experience the fun you have early game and still be able to go back to a maxed out save and also be able to keep commanders on a specific path like having one be and explorer while you can have another that stays in the bubble bounty hunting and another trading/mining.

A game that does this and I enjoy is Evochron: Legacy but it is lacking in graphics and an active community in that game you can have up to 100! saves which is perfect cause with that many saves you can restart and go different paths to your hearts content though since E

stores all saves online rather than on your computer I doubt it could handle that many saves for each person but I'd think at least 2 or 3 slots per person could easily be achieved.

If anyone from FDEV is actually reading this thank you for taking time out of your day to read this and I hope that you consider this suggestion and maybe even add it. [smile]

I would really like this too. Just charge us per save if you want.

I would be happy if they sold game slots.

Multiple save slots for the same character are not something that can exist in an MMO for obvious reasons. Allowing multiple "related" characters, playable one at a time, within the same account could be a feature. But I suspect you'd have to be mutually liable for bounties etc.

I think that's what we're asking for (minus the bounties bit). I think I read that either xbox or playstation already has multiple saves.

I thought we were just asking for save slots so we wont have to buy multiple copies of the game instead.
They can be completely separate. They just want to not have to mess with different install folders for each bought copy (and me personally wont be buying multiple copies anyway)

Yes I think you're right. No need for different saves for the same commander.

What I meant was multiple completely separate save slots each slot would be a new CMDR with a different name and would start as you normally would as if you first started your game or cleared your save

obviously the cosmetics bougth in the frontier store must be shared but nothing else

It would be cool to be able to experience a new beginning. At least to remember how much grind is behind the main character and return there quickly.
