If I am spec'ing out skills on a mech and go back to the loadout to check on the weapons / equipment AND save a new loadout, I get sent back to the home screen without being given a chance to save my skill selections.

Steps:

• Start selecting skill nodes
  
• Select 'Loadout'
  
• Make a loadout change (adjust armor or whatever)
  
• Save loadout change.

Suddenly I'm in the home screen instead of the mechlab. If I select the mechlab, I get prompted with:

"Your 'Mech's Skill Tree has changed. If you continue, all changes will be lost. Continue?"

However, since I'm not in the mechlab or in the skill tree view, I can't save my skill tree changes which means I am FORCED to lose my changes in order to get back into the mechlab.

Solution 1:
- If there are unsaved skill tree changes, DON'T let the user out of the mechlab.

Solution 2:
- If there are unsaved skill tree changes, prompt the user:
"Your 'Mech's Skill Tree has changed. Do you wish to review the changes or revert the changes?"
==> Review -> Send user to skill tree
==> Revert -> Lose changes and continue

Solution 3:
- Prompt when leaving the mechlab instead when you're trying to get INTO the mechlab.

========================================

Separate note:
LOVE the idea of the skill tree. Much better than the old 13 "everything is the same for all mechs" mech skill garbage.

========================================

Edit:
Odd behavior:
- Select skill nodes (DO NOT APPLY CHANGES)
- Select loadout
- Change loadout
- Save loadout. You are now in the Home screen with the Home menu on the left.
- Select Mechlab. You are prompted to lose changes.
- Select 'Select Mech'. You suddenly get the Mechlab menu on the left even though the "Home" tab is still selected.

If this is intentional, it's not clear to the user that this is how to get back into the skill tree to continue (finish) selecting skill nodes.
