Observed behaviour

The game keep crashing when loading seemingly without reason. I tried to pinpoint the reason multiple times. I want to set my game as it was in the previous official release, so I set my character appearance, kill count, reputation and ship to what I had then save the same, I then grab missions while going between starports hoping to get all my ship items back. I've done that at least twice, wasting > 1/2 hr each time. I then started to save every few minutes then loaded the save to see if the load would crash; this seems like a perfect recipe to corrupt my gamesave but I don't see any other way to not waste many minutes.

I've tried to pinpoint a reason by starting the game again multiple times. As well as upgrade my ship a few items at a time to see if one caused a problem; I was convinced one caused the loading crash but then it turned out not to be the case. What I'm thinking is that some items are indeed buggy but not consistently, that they cause a bug the majority of the time but not always.

Using my paranoid save every few minutes then reload it right after if the loading crash the game, there was no crash for some time but then there was
Pioneer-250203-gamesaves-Bradbury_to_Olympus.zip
This is just one of multiple gamesave that caused a crash when loading, not to point to something specific about it. The difference between those 2 gamesaves is that I picked mission at Bradbury Landing then saved as soon as I got to Olympus Mons.

Update:
The gamesave that crashes was basically remade successfully in #6049

Expected behaviour

Both gamesaves to load properly.

Steps to reproduce

Load the latest of the 2 gamesaves, with highest #, which makes the latest official release crash. Load the previous gamesave, with lowest #, which doesn't make the game crash.

My pioneer version (and OS):
250203 Windows
