Save in Combat

Tickbox at game start, non-editable afterwards. Unticked by default, with a suitable description of why it is a bad idea to select it. Game quits once a save is made in the battlescape, to discourage "save-hunting."
Would this satisfy those users who have time issues?

I'd definitely support this kind of save (or any kind really) since the days where I could spend 4-6 hours at the PC at a stretch are long behind me. (some days I'm lucky to have 30-40 minutes at once to play without real life intruding)
There's somewhat of a balance between saves lowering difficulty and real life making them a necessity since redoing 3/4's of a mission due to running out of time just plain sucks. (one of the main reasons why I mostly quit playing mmorpg's, you just can't up and leave for a while after 30-40 minutes without making your friends mad in game)

Personally I prefer to have shorter missions without the ability to save in combat.
The are a few maps (the canyon, wellington) which take longer to finish, but the most of the maps are short.

I am actually fine with no-save during combat but I hope there are other ways to speed up combat.
For example, disable animation of your units, or dont care if crouched units move slower than non-crouched units (in their animations). Also maybe some hotkey combo tricks like space to select alien and "x" key to fire in best available mode or something etc..

I cant believe it, you did create this fantastic game, and then you didnt implement saving in combat?!?!? Youre spoiling the whole game for most of the fans of the original UFO-Serie!!!
It would take away some of the atmosphere??? ARE YOU NUTS?? ::) If some1 feels like that, he just shouldnt use it!!
OMG such a great game, and its crap because someones fearing about the atmosphere if you could save in combat, i JUST DONT GET THIS!!
This game could be a goldmine, but NOOOO, we want atmosphere.... ATMOSPHERE! Unbelievable... Im out of here, keep your game for the "Kind-of-iron-man-folks" and be happy with it...
Im going back to "Jagged Alliance2" or slt.
*shaking his head while leaving, sigh*
