Worst "oops" moments in PBW?

Slick, I agree with you.

We "know" we should know better and still we made the mistake.

Maybe what we are doing now is a form of penance not unlike donning a hair shirt and flogging ourselves around time square in medieval times.

Two things... somewhat already touched on:

1. Trying to figure out why a ship did not obey the orders I knew I gave... freaking out and firing the ship commander... then I realize I did not "Cancel" the previous Sentry order already attached to the ship/fleet (before assigning the new order)! This was frustrating as a noob.

2. Trying to build units on a space yard ship or space yard base... designed without a cargo area. Just doesn't work.

Been there. Done that. 'Nuff said.

-Does- work if you have something else in the sector with cargo room. Just in case someone gets confused.

I usually play with the Natural Merchants advanced trait. So, like I am 50+ turns into the game with colonies in a dozen systems… then I remember that I am not playing with the Natural Merchants trait in THIS game.

At the start of this thread, I said my wife cloaked her fleet, including her Sweepers.
Guess who just did that in 2 PBW games at the same turn?
The first game processed and I saw the results, and had enough time to undo my turn for the second game and then in a rush to get the turn done before the deadline, forgot to move my ships...

Thanks Phoenix... good mention.

OMG... Gecko and Baron, you are cracking me up! Must be late...
