I've been having a great time playing the game - really, really enjoying it so far.

Except of course, that invariably, when I go to load a game, I accidentally DELETE IT.  Could be the awesome UI decision to put that button right beside the load button, and not to the include the 'Are you sure you want to delete this save game?" dialogue that would have saved me from restarting all over again (because that simply a better decision than to just replay the last 5 turns mid-game about half the time.)

Look, if it was a file on my computer, I'd just undo the delete from the recycle bin and put my finger to my cheek.  INstead, I want to fly down to Stardock and punch someone int he face.

Move the button.  Better yet, get rid of it from that screen and move it elsewhere.  When I go to load a game, I don't want to delete a game.  It would be better to put that in the save game dialogue because the worst I can do there is just save the current game anyway.
