disaster .. yeah ... that about how i call it... dam u !

My biggest mistake was launching a big fleet crash on someone from my moon, sensible yes, but the espy report defaulted me to attack his moon when my target was his planet. I didn't see it and ended up losing 1.8 million Deut in fuel, i had to recall and wait a day before i could re-launch. Thankfully it was ok.

I have had several other blunders where i get all excited on a raid that has lots of res and end up forgetting to actually send cargo ships with my fleet.

Are you talking about me? I have been waiting for your attack since last month.
I wanted to pull out after you send you last espionage probe.

Back on topic,
Sending cargo raids to inactive planets thinking they are undefended. Your LCs arrive there to find an ACS defend fleet.

i knew you were waiting... i was gonna crash you a long time ago but mintaka got you before i had a chance... i had to try with my fast units maybe you were taking a leak or something

I too became paranoid after Mintaka got my fleet. I fleet save when I go dump.

I sent my very first Deathstar on a "Destroy" mission, My Deathstar Imploded

I tried to a massive DF from an inactive player. I launched 98 recyclers and lost 360,000 deut. I told my friend and he PMed back saying it was his. Later, after I recalled my fleet, he sent another PM saying to continue with the recycling.

Kinda harsh calling him a noob, i've been with him from the beginning and i know he's a damn good player when he wants to be! (though i did kinda rofl when i saw the report in circ )

Earlier in the game before I got a chance to upgrade the Hyperspace drive, my Destroyers were slower than my large cargos. So I sent a big attack fleet with some followup cargo fleets after I IPMed the defenses to hell.

I waited a few minutes and then sent 3 cargo fleets, all of which arrived before the attack fleet and got destroyed by the defensive ships on the planets.
