52. You never build anything larger then an escort even when you have Super Monitors available because you just love the word Escort.

You would be surprised. Never mock the almighty Escort of Doom. Frigates might be preferred from time to time, but the point stands; these little ships can be deadly if you are caught unaware.

81: You somehow manage to research Resource Converters, and put them on Repeat orders. Several months later, you are still wondering about what happened to your collapsing economy (do not worry though; you aren't the only one, as this mistake is probably one of the most common).

82: You have set your neighbouring system(s) as "Systems to avoid", and ticked the "Ships should not travel through restricted systems" option. The same goes for minefiels.

83: You have confused the "Demand surrender" option and "Surrender", and/or the "I want to be subjugated!" and "I want to subjugate you!".

84: You have been researching Tachyon Sensors and Organic gathering (from level IV to IX). In a high-cost research game.
