Your database is contained in the Stevefire.mdb file. To save it, just back it up in a different directory.

Best idea is to report it in the bugs thread and also send the email. I usually try to link emails to bug reports so I can keep track of what I have fixed and also so I can explain the problem to everyine else in the bugs thread in case other people encounter the same bug.

Also, there's a "saving the game" (or something like that) FAQ.

I am having trouble finding your email Steve, I checked your profiles and your website but found nothing.

Also, do you just want the most recent stevefire.mdb?

Too late. I found a work around and had no idea how to copy the folder, if it's of any interest to anyone, it cashed due to me canceling the orders to transfer colonists and giving them an order to refuel and resupply at the same time. I solved it by deleting the Colony ships. (but selecting the colony task group in the task group window still lags more then anything)
