Easter Egg

In FleetOps, you'll notice that the single player option is gone. However, playing some interesting crippled demos before, I know that looks can be decieving. So, I clicked where the single player option would have been and sure enough I got to another screen, one that says Disabled, No Single Player Missions Available. Click on the left hand corner of that screan and below the origional message you get REALLY! and a Ok and Cancel, one of which you must click before you can choose the other two options on the page (you can skip this Really part and just mess with the two options at the bottom of the page if you just got lost, or something). The other options are Previous Menu and Load Game... Load Game works well...

Now, my idea, since you are clearly hiding a feature that doesn't work... why not make this into an Easter Egg, you know... a hidden area of the program where the programmers hide something special... sometimes they are credits (no need, credits are in the game), sometimes they are minature games (impossible to put that in) and other times they are just something really cool. In this case, perhaps a few pictures of a humorous nature could be put in there, something to laugh at and to be happy about. Essentially, having something would be nice and besides, that means FleetOps can be listed on Easter Egg websites, its' secrets known.

Good idea?

hehe
maybe in the final version, i will think about it when i have time for
Also *maybe* the singeplayer mode comes back later, but that's not sure yet.
The bad thing is that Armada does not have enough modding capabilities to allow such changes.
