Oolite Bulletins

When the ship is docked at a station and you press 2/F2, all of the functions are things like saving and loading games, setting game options, etc., not things that are happening within the game. So why does the clock keep going? Shouldn't selecting this screen automatically pause the game?

Not a big deal, but I've been caught by this a couple of times when I've saved a game, gone to do something else, and come back some time later to continue playing and forgotten to reload.

later - forgot to say that this also applies to docking at rock hermits, space pizza stations, etc. etc., anything where the F2 button isn't aft view.

There are technical issues with doing so - a lot of the controls are frozen out while paused, though that could be adjusted, and if this extended to the subscreens (load, save, etc.) the rotating ships on those screens would also stop rotating if the game was paused, which would be harder to adjust.

Nothing too major, though, I think.
