Summary0012311: Aborting missions
DescriptionWhen the player chooses to abort a mission, it isn't made at all clear that this means automatically failing the mission and being unable to try it again. I'm not sure why we can't just allow a player to back out of a mission, but if you want to make mission selection irrevocable, there should be a confirmation popup when the guy selects a mission, right?

I think that slowing down the gameplay with excessive confirmation boxes tends not to be a great thing. With backing out of a mission, you could really exploit that with going in, losing to some extent, and then just aborting when it becomes clear you've lost, then trying again.

Probably what should be done, though is an autosave just before you start a mission.

Agreed. This would solve the problem too.

This would also help with crash bugs. You lose less progress that way.

Keith, can you add the autosave-prior-to-mission-start thing?

For 0.920:

* The game now autosaves to "AutosavePreMission" immediately before generating a mission you've clicked on from the city map.

Thanks :)
