Autopause

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 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!).

Gameplay and Balance Indicator

This OXP definitely makes things easier for you, the player!

As regards your Jameson, though...
