Is it possible to autosave and relaunch my ALiVE mission?

Why doesn't player data save if you hit abort? Can I set it so it saves player data on disconnect? It's a pain when hours of progress are lost on a player crash or if a player simply forgets to hit player exit.

We have some issues with server stability as well, can I set server persistence to save hourly? Can I set it to save and restart every 12 or 24 hours?
