was playing the final mission in the flashpoint where the Raven is introduced, finished it and then moved on to a flashpoint in Liao space where you can choose to escort or kill a bunch of "seditionists" and finished that and then moved onto another flashpoint where you have to fight with just urbanmechs, about halfway into the first part of the liao flashpoint I noticed that the save option was greyed out. but I continued to try and save at a later part like on the ship screen, where the save was still greyed out.

IIRC there is a point in some FLASHPOINTS where between Missions it is just not possible to safe. This is purposeful and replicates back to back Missions where there is just not pause in the action. In order to get out of the game and go back in, one must start from the beginning of the last mission.

Could it be that you’ve run into one such Mission as this?

 

[lordarryon]

unfortunately no, I thought so as well, but this was after finishing a flashpoint completely

there's an update to this, just started a new career save, nowhere near Flashpoint time yet, sitting on the timeline screen and I can't save the game.

Career default start is Ironman - no manual saves - saves automatically after mission and when you exit - just the one save
