I used my first pioneer to harvest a gold deposit just outside my influence range. The next turn the gold mine was gone and no income. So I decided to load the previous autosave to get my pioneer back. I went to the main menu, load and doubleclicked the save. Crash. The files:

I just tried to load the same savegame and it crashed again.
