speed control: pause button

[Pawelk198604]

I wonder does dev could add "active pause" so i can for example pause game, click experiment equipment on my spacecraft and unpaause game, it would be handy for laptop users like my.

I bought lenovo laptop because my desktop broke down and touchpad on Lenovo doesn't work as it should :-( (I wonder does other lenovo user have this problem)

It would be useful for everyone.

Not only for doing things but also for appreciating beauty of explosions and failures.

"There's a mod for that" is not the pount of the thread. He is asking for it to be stock, if not he would have posted an addon request.

It would be cool, yes.

But three things:

1) I feel as if it is too cheat-y. Say you're landing in a tight spot. You pause the game's physics so you can look around and find the best spot to land, then land there.

2) You can just void the above by NOT USING IT. So many people say that things like this shouldn't be added because they're not realistic. If you believe they're not realistic, so what? Are you going to use them? Is the mere presence of the "pause key", or whatever other feature, going to ruin your playing experience?

3) I would probably use it to get GREAT screenshots. To be able to get the best angle at any time...

TL;DR: I support it.

what about just having 1/2 and 1/4 speed options?
