Description

I am making this request largely because there are already warnings for vacuum, when attempting to take an illegal vehicle onto the map; as an extension of that I am proposing a warning when your Auto-Ejection is set to On in a lethal environment.

It is very easy to forget that auto-ejection is enabled and launch onto a map only for the pilot to eject to their certain doom in survivable situations (such as a gauss rifle exploding). It'd be very nice to have a "Some units have Ejection enabled, do you wish to continue?" safety check in there.

I'm trying to find where in the code this happens. Can you put a screen shot or paste the text in here that it shows for the warning? I could try to reproduce it myself but if you can get to it quicker that would be helpful to find where this happens so I can make it happen for other places. Or, is it as simple as just checking for this auto-eject flag and if it's set, show the warning before ejection happens?
