Default Stupid Button
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.

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.

I think a Stupid Button would be a welcome addition to the game! Malfador take note, plz!

I think the Stupid Button is an AI exclusive feature.

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.

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!"...

Better: have it display an animation of the midget from the Austin Powers movies doing the Loser gesture-thingy (can you tell I'm old / not "cool" anymore? lol!). 8D
