Any one have any idea how to save a game in Starflight.......I can't figure it out.

Follow <span class="bold">this link</span> (Starflight forum on GOG), it will direct you to an explanation how saving works.

This is old, but for anyone else that comes here.... Press escape to access the save menu.

Also, this is one of those games where RTFM is mandatory. Plus, the manual is actually fun. This game is a true classic - enjoy.
