Feedback on Save/Load UX Prevent Accidental Overwrites

I’ve encountered a recurring issue with the save system that leads to accidental data loss.

The Scenario: > After crashing my ship, I attempt to quickly load my last manual save before the game triggers an autosave.

The Issue: > When I click to "Load," the game prompts me to "Save" first. Because this happens in the same menu area, muscle memory leads me to click "Yes" without reading carefully. This overwrites my healthy save with the current "crashed" state, making it impossible to revert.

The Oversight: > The game is essentially asking to save over the very file I am trying to load. Loading should not trigger a save prompt that overwrites the target load file.
