I have been playing this game for 2 weeks and have been kept amused by the little mistakes we all tend to make now and then. I am starting a list of these and posting them for fun. I will not name who made the mistakes, nor do I wish anyone else that may post a "GOOF" in this topic to do so. The reason for this topic is to give you a laugh. Enjoy the game!

1. Sending Cargos "only" crashing into someones defenses.
2. Making a good hit but forgetting to send cargos with it to pick up the resources.
3. Telling someone they will be your farm and getting yourself farmed instead.
4. Doing a fleet/resource save right before someone hits you, forgetting to take the resources, managing to recall, pickup, and deploy "just" in time.
Talk about heart pounding adrenaline rush!
5. Probing someone when you were only intending to send a message. (Careful with those buttons on the gallaxy view!)
6. Wanting to take out a sweet little resource grabs defenses to easily pickup the 7mil (over 1 mil alone in duet) plus resources, realize you don't have any IPM's, so build what you need only to realize you are on the wrong planet and have just used your own resources which you had designated for ABM's. *slaps forehead*
7. Going for your Graviton and building 3500 probes instead of sats before you realize what you did.


Feel free to either send me your funny mistakes or post them here yourself. I do ask out of courtesy that you do not name names of those making the mistakes or use this posting to flame anyone. It is for laughter only!

I made the mistakes 1, 2 and 4.

Building 100 colony ships instead of recyclers.
Sending recyclers 1 sec ahead of the attack fleet. (Should be the other way around)

lol, too funny. When i first started, I made my first small cargo and found my first attack victim and transported "maximum" resources to him. He sent me a thank you tho:)

one time, i got attacked, and crushed the incoming fleet. feeling pretty good about myself, i sent my fleet off to the world the attacker came from... without probing. i got destroyed. then, since he was on at the time, he even recycled the debris before I got there. I lost my whole fleet and the DF. ah well, lesson learned.

Ouch! Lesson learned from school of hard knocks?

I've never probed by mistake, but I have IPMed a planet by mistake >.< DIdn't realize what I was doing until it was too late. >.< Other than an acidental IPM, I'm clean.

The first time I attacked someone, I sent them resources, thinking that I was clicking to say how much of each resource I wanted. So I wasted a couple of trips before I finally started to make a profit.

did all those too lol..
Building 100 colony ships instead of recyclers. <-- when i was trying to get my Graviton, i accdntally built 1300 probes instead of 1300 Solar sats..

i did the colony ships too by accndt but i think only 80+ lol

i used a stack of DS to hit a base and fleet just to see how good they were.
my god are they crap!!! went all 6 rounds and ended in a draw as they just dont have the hitting power without the rapid fire, i lost 1/3 of the fleet but pulled out just better than even after collecting the debris but it could have been a disaster if i hadnt used so many.. lol

we all new they were bad but not how bad, had to see what would happen..
