Should Hitting "Launch" Auto-Save your craft?

[JoeSchmuckatelli]

Currently, it doesn't.  I hit launch on a craft I'd built - drove it to a place, and planted a flag on top of the rover.  This caused the game to glitch and freeze, so I had to shut down the game from the Desktop.

Restart the game and Reload the save... My vehicle is incomplete.  It's partly saved - but because I was still testing it I had not 'saved it' in the VAB.

Used to not be a problem (AFAICR).  So while this is likely a PBKAC issue... should the game save a copy of the craft on launch?

Or should players have to remember to save just in case?
