Quicksave vs Autosave

[MarvinKitFox]

This is not a bug, it is just a *desperate* plea for a feature change.

When loading a quicksave, the system faithfully loads it... Even if you haven't quicksaved in the last two weeks, and spent the time since exploring the whole universe.

And usually, within very few seconds, autosaves this new situation. If you had mistakenly loaded a very old quicksave, it can ruin your day.

Can we *please* have a sanity check on a load of quicksave, something like "This quicksave is 8 days old (focus is ship in Mun orbit), the most recent autosave is 10 minutes old(focus is EVA on Eloo). Are you sure you want to discard the Autosaved position?"

Or maybe even a save-into-selected-save-slot system?

Yes I agree! I have done this numerous times and it is very frustrating. Would be great to see a better save/load management system (maybe disableable for a hard-core player). In the meantime there is the multiple saves mod that may be of some use.

I agree with this completely! =}

old autosaves should be backlogged every time a new autosave is created rather than just overwritten. if you load an ancient quicksave, and loose weeks of progress, you could just load one of the old autosaves. you might limit the number of saves to around 10 or so to keep things tidy. this is just some basic file handling code.
