Stupid Button

[Fyron]

Why is there a "Play Movement Log for All Ships" button? I just accidentally clicked it, and now I have to watch the movement logs for 100s of ships. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

The worst part is that there is no cancel or stop button!!! Clicking on the other movement log button, in an attempt to change the display, did nothing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

I think a Stupid Button would be a welcome addition to the game! Malfador take note, plz! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

there also needs to be a stupid button for those of us who accidently hit upgrade facilities in the construction queues window ...

Oh yes, that one needs a confirm dialogue too. It is especially bad in Proportions, and can force you to have to restart the turn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I'm sure someone could code a Stupid Button - all you need is a tiny floating window that will stay on top of the SEIV screen in one of the areas unused by the game. The window would contain a single red button, and clicking on it would... well... I don't know. Display a random insult maybe, or politely suggest ways of being less stupid. Perhaps it could play a wav of someone shouting "STUUPIIIID!"...
