You can store that quite compactly if you need to: a string of 2048 characters either 0 or 1 will only be 2k in the save file

I thought we were dealing with the off-spring of Elite. Then you can't call it compact. A true eliteer would use bits like in this piece of code

Ah, I reacted too soon. At least you don't have to re-create the code. Some handlers are renamed though since this was published.

this.willEnterWitchSpace = function(cause)
{
    // Hmm, this is silly. There should be a "playerEnteredNewGalaxy" message.
    if (cause == "galactic jump")
    {
        this.loadBits()
    }
}
