As it works right now, when you quick save, any QS file is rewritten. this is kinda problematic when testing different variables/mechanics.

I prefer to manually delete many quick save files than just having 1 and constantly have to save manually.

I save the game before hitting End Phase or End Turn with a name that indicates to me what I am trying to do. Then I hit the End Phase or End Turn button and can always go back to the save BEFORE hitting the button and play around with it.

I keep three saves rotating through my games: PreAir, PostAir, and Ground so I can always reset if I have to.

the thing with quicksave is that you will save a lot of time, by not doing it manually with a bazillion of clicks.

there is also the problem that the hotkey for quicksave is 'q', and the one to exit is "shift+q"

making pretty frequent the overwriting of the useful quicksave file.
