I would prefer when I start a saved game for it to start in the paused state. Waiting for a load indicator then reacting the instant it finishes is challenging, yet not really fun. When I restart from a saved game I kind of assume the saved situation will be replicated, which it isn't (I only save while paused). You can't save at a planet, where you are perfectly safe, only in space; so you have to leave, let some frames go by, then save. When you reload, you let more frames go by, then get your bearings, and finally react. So, any time you save the game you lose a bunch of frames on both ends. Saving while at a planet would be a huge boon, but it would require some additional UI work which is a pain. However, resuming saves in the paused state would be easy and really useful.
