No way to save during a mission?

[mwiegant]

It's completely possible I'm just not seeing it, but can we save during a mission? In virtually every RTS out there, this is a core feature.

Look next to the clock, there is a save button. Otherwise, F5 works as well

You not only can save during missions, but the lore actually encourages it. Some of the later missions (9+) seem to expect you to load quick-saves repeatedly. In a good way.

I also had no idea there was an option to save during the campaign. I thought we were forced to just use autosave points. I didn't see the option to save when I bring up the main menu so I figured there was none. Having the save option separate from - or not included in - the main menu is a mistake IMO.

I don't know why no one has mentioned this explicitly yet, but they don't introduce saving games until a certain point in the tutorial campaign missions. Then it is a button at the top of the screen at all times. It is a "power" the main character suddenly recalls how to use. It's part of the storyline. The option to save manually doesn't exist before that point, unless you are playing Endless, Skirmish, or Sandbox.

Only after the save is introduced. Before then, the early first couple missions do not have the save function available.
