[Approved] Destroy Warning

So in the past week, I've gotten PMs from multiple different people asking me where their fleet went after attempting an MD. I propose a warning be put on the third fleet screen that there's a chance you lose your fleet from a Destroy mission, similar to the ones already existing for Espionage and Expedition.

I don't see much point, if they can't do the research then they shouldn't bother playing imo

The information isn't readily available though. You have to dig to find it.

I don't think including a warning is handing anyone everything on a platter. I don't see the difference between this and warning people that sending fleet on an espionage mission is dangerous.

Im not sure this should be necessary Sloth. Espy missions can be done after just a few days starting this game, whereas MD missions take probably a month of playing the game before they are attempted. Like zorg said some months ago "moon destructs are a serious business".
On top of that, there also is the fact that, any n00b stupid enough to send his entire fleed on a MD clearly does not understand the game, and probably should in fact lose that fleet. The only downside i see in this would be the fleet is blinked out like a light, rather than being turned into rubble that my recs can pick up.

That's the problem. Same thing happens with any ship that isn't a probe on an Espionage mission, and ships you lose on Expedition. I see a trend

Information shouldnt be hidden from players neither be put in a manner that it is hard to find it.
+1 from me.
