[[File:Autopause.png|thumb|right|600px|Setting Autopause to pause your game when you enter "Red Alert"]]
Pauses the game if something unexpected happens while you're in the bathroom!
== Overview ==
This is for you - the player! Not for your [[Jameson]] or your ship!

If you are undertaking a boring 30-minute flight to a distant planet, or are sl-o-o-owly [[Fuel Collector OXP|scooping interstellar fuel]], this is the OXP you need.

You activate autopause, wander off to make a cup of coffee... and if something happens in-game, this OXP will pause the game for you at that point.

=== Usage ===
*Activate the "Autopause" equipment (ideally when you are in "Green Alert" mode!).
*Set the "Autopause" equipment mode to pause the game when your ship enters either "Yellow Alert" mode or "Red Alert" mode.
:''See [[Priming Equipment]] if you need more detail!''

*To deactivate, just unpause your game ("p" key)

=== Warning ===
This equipment is not perfect! Known issues involve crashing into asteroids (which do not change the game alert to red or yellow until you are dead!).

*[[Save In Flight OXP]] - a related OXP for those who prefer to experience the 30-minute flight in person!

== Gameplay and Balance Indicator ==
This OXP definitely makes things easier for ''you'', the player!

As regards your Jameson, though...
