Not really. It is possible to make custom hotkeys but it's fairly difficult and no default way to do that.

The order menu has a button with a three missiles icon and a 0/100 (or so) label. This is how many nukes are ordered, it works the same as unit queue in factories, ie. you can right-click to decrease it. Ctrl+Shift+RMB will decrease it by 100, same as factory - Shift is x5, Ctrl is x20 when dealing with fac orders.

In the future the Wait command (Ctrl+W) will most likely be able to pause stockpile as well.

Feel free to use everything you consider fun. It's effective but not considered cheating (nothing is, really - Chickens is not a competitive mode, it's mostly for dicking around).

You can use anything as a Chicken map. Pick a normal 1v1 map and perhaps reduce the Chicken difficulty (through game options and picking the Custom difficulty) to get the appropriate level of challenge.

Hold
Space.
The
layout
is
the
same
as
usual
(
Q
is
the
1st
unit
in
the
1st
row,
etc.
)
.
You
can
make
this
happen
without
Space
through
the
F10
menu
but
beware
that
this
makes
it
impossible
to
use
hotkeys
to
give
the
factory
an
order
queue
for
completed
units.

F10

Check "Hotkeys for Units tab" here.

You will need to hold Space. If you uncheck "Unit tab hotkeys require Meta" you will not need to do that, but beware that this makes it impossible to use hotkeys to give the factory an order queue for completed units.

They're "widgets". To reset them go to your content folder (in the lobby: [Settings] -> [Open Game Data Folder]), from there go to LuaUI and delete the Config folder (the one that contains ZK_data and ZK_order files). Ideally you should instead use the F10 menu for settings though.

[quote]* Is there a tutorial on the various static defences somewhere? I know I can get some description and stuff such as range and DPS by spacebar-left-click, though it's not trivial to spot deviations from what you'd expect (such as higher cost = longer range but lower DPS/cost) when there are so many.[/quote]

Not an official one, apart from the Space+Click info. [url=http://zero-k.info/Wiki/StructuresAndStatics]Here[/url] is an unofficial guide but beware that it is outdated and was never really fact-checked in the first place. It's probably best to experiment a bit ingame to see how they feel though.

You need to be account level 10. Then you can just click on the appropriate +X/-Y button.

Awards (ie. badges) are for comparative performance. Sorry, not good enough! ;P
