mr mag00: I got the file you uploaded, tested it on my 1.74.2 copy and made sure it works. I have uploaded it here:

Please unzip it to your oolite-saves folder and let us know if it works for you too.

Believe it or not, all I had to do was just save it to disk from pastebin, using the Download button. Looks like we've found another way of sorting out Notepad-corrupted savefiles ;-)

I was having difficulty (having saved in Notepad after my son took my saved game for a spin :(). I found re-opening in Notepad++ and going Encoding>Convert to ANSI successfully replaced the file so Oolite would recognise it again.
