Can we get an option to have the game be paused when it finishes loading?

I sometimes have some really long load times, and it would be nice to step away from the computer during that time and come back to see it loaded and paused. As opposed to sometimes coming back to find a massive garbage pile up or deathwave not taken care of or some other bad thing happened while I was gone waiting for it to load, causing large quantities of CIMs to move out.

There is the Pause on Load mod that does this but it would be nice if CO changed this.

Never even occurred to me to look for a mod for something like that. But it is something that should just be added in by CO as you say. There are lots of people who don't use mods, and achievements being blocked (yeah, there is a mod for that too) can be problematic for some.

I'm no programmer (coder, or whatever), but it doesn't sound like it would be very difficult to implement.
