I'd like to discuss buttons.
Yes, buttons.
I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere, so I thought I'd vomit my thoughts onto the screen here.
Has anybody else been annoyed, harried, confused or distressed when (some or all of) the Message Prev/Next/Goto buttons suddenly disappear? Without warning?? All by themselves????
Ok.. annoying though this is, this can be rectified by closing Stars! down, and starting from scratch. You reload the game and.. voila! Mr. Button and his two very close female button friends are once again displaying themselves for all to see.
On the other hand, I was playing an AR race in a game against AI's the other day, and my buttons in the Ship Design section started greying themselves out for no particular reason.
Twas starbases. I would make a few starbase designs, and then go back into ship design, and discover that the delete option was "greyed out". This was irrespective of whether or not these designs had been built or not. Possibly more to do with their positioning on the list of designs (nearer the bottom, more likely that it's deletable).
Has anybody come across this one before? ..and come up with a solution?
It's making my tiny mind hurt.

How many applications do you have running when this happens?
How long since the last time you rebooted?
Windows is notorious for "losing" memory... with applications requesting memory and then not properly returning the memory to the operating system.
I have run into the missing buttons problem ... never in hull design though... but then I don't play AR usually, and I know design 1 in there is greyed out so it might propogate by mistake.
Still, I think the proper solution would be a reboot of the machine, or at least closing down some of the other apps that you happen to have running "concurrently."

I have seen VCR crashing because i deleted one of the ship designs that participated in the battle.
Later i made new (different) ship design and then it didnt crash but displayed that new design at place of old one.
