Last-minute staging changes done at launch - make them persistent

[Andersenman]

I would appreciate an option to make any last-minute staging changes on the launchpad/runway persist through restarts and going back to the VAB/SPH.

I have very often found myself restarting launches or going back to the VAB/SPH to tweak things but forgetting to include any changes in staging that I made just before that last failed launch, so I would appreciate if such staging changes would, for instance, keep saving to "Auto-saved ship". Alternatively, a "Save staging" button on the launchpad/runway would be nice that appears when any staging is touched.

Many thanks

Nice idea.

I think it should be an option, as sometimes you might restage it for fun so it blows up, or you staged it diffrently for an expirement but don't want to change it like that.

Something like a save button on the launchpad, perhaps?

Yup!

I'd make clicky love to such a button!

You could just, y'know, condition yourself to keep track of your staging. After it's been such a pain in the ass several times in a row, I've been making a point of re-checking the staging before hitting "Launch" in the same way I recheck my pockets for things I might have forgotten before I close the door and go somewhere. It's saved me more time than any hypothetical save-staging button ever could have.

Because if you forget to check it before launch, you can forget to save it after changing it. Just not falling to it in the first place is a lot easier.
