Player data is saved when you pick up or drop off a contract. The rest of the time the player data is updated on the main data server, but isn't saved until you log off. (or disconnect for whatever reason) I'm considering periodic updates just to make sure nothing is lost.
I actually use that code snippet already to calculate the aspect ratio for widescreen displays.
aspect = sw / sh
set camera aspect 0, aspect
I've been defaulting the resolution to 1024 x 768 x 32 though, but you guys are right. I need to do something different with the HUD images, as they are just pasted images. As the new artist churns out some of the new HUD elements I'll be using sprites and proper scaling.

Space Stations are coming, and are already a part of the program. I just don't have any good station models yet.
I would also love to see it filled with ships buzzing around and moving cargo everywhere. Then there's the pirates, and an alien race called the Vorashi. (all AI controlled) I really think LUA is going to be required here..
Go forth and spread the word. Testers are needed.
