okay...maybe I'm just bein a moron here. But I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to reload a multiplayer game....someone help?!?!?!

Well if you hosted the game and saved. When you want to restart a multiplayer game and the other guy is connected you can load game by clicking the option tab in the menu where you select the stats of the galaxy.

yeah thats what I thought....but for some reason I can't click on it.

As a general tidbit, I'll add that Slot 6 has had issues over the years with many players as being unrealiable. Try to stay with slots 1-5.

yea I think that was the problem....
