I've learned (the hard way) to do the same thing. I always save about 50nm prior to docking at home base. I also save 3 games for all my careers (2 as backups). I save frequently during a patrol for a lot of different reasons. In that respect, I don't worry one bit about whether captains could save a career in real life because, in real life, they couldn't TC either.
