is there a way to save game for a fail safe?

Because man it sure sucks when you can't do the mission over and want to complete it.
Like to start the mission over you need to create a new character.
Or do some missions reset every day or week?

Just alt-f4 the game if you're going to fail.

Yeah I just Alt-F4 and start the game back up.

All progress is saved on the server. If you want to do campaign/story missions again, I think you need a new character. Other than that, you can do anything multiple times

wouldn't that just register the mission as failed even if you close the game mid mission? what about corrupt data if you keep closing the game if I am gonna fail?

Mission result is only saved to the server on a regular "mission end".
Quiting the game regularily or clicking the leave button on the small summary box in the end.
Even if you failed the mission, as long as you don't click the leave button, you can stil ALT + F4
Not that I would recommend doing it, but there are some circumstances in which I have done it.
Panick Room missions where enemies spawned inside the room and killed the target the moment I got close.
Hot Pursuite where the target got killed by ToA.

so how does one complete all of missions without failing the non-repeatable ones? Or can you revisit them later on in the game?
Like warp magic hehe.

Saving missions as a fail if the client disconnected would be obnoxious--as that can happen for many "legitimate" reasons. Does this make the "alt-f4" strategy dishonest? Ask yourself if anyone is injured by your use of it in a single-player game.

IMO there's not really a reason for a failsave. The only missions that really matter, are story missions. If you fail these, you can replay them anytime until finished.

Well that's not true.
Because I failed this weak ass mission by mistake it was level 4 I think I had to escort an assassin women and she blew up by accident on the mines which I just walked through like a tank and didn't think to shoot them (I think you can detonate them like that) so when I created a new character that mission was nowhere to be found. It's the missions when you click on solar system looking icon and has a list of missions from hardest to the very bottom easiest.
So explain that?

those are just random missions. you don't lose anything other than your time from failing them.
The only place where failing a mission actually has negative consequences are void crusades.
A failed mission may block of a path on the crusade map or entirely fail the crusade.
This will lead to decreased rewards/no rewards at the end of the crusade.

on a side note, how does one change sector.I am stuck now on a different star map and I can't go back.

And yet this isn't gamebreaking. Annoying, yes, but nothing you can't redo in the next crusade.
