Worst defeat? well, i few weeks ago, on a PBW game i'm still playing so i wont give much info, basically i tought the enemy ships would take longer to arrive, ofcourse that didn't happened they wipe out my major fleet and most of my empire planets are now undefended (and my income is negative right now, min & rads), the rest of my fleets were on the other side of my empire, so, by the time they arrive (if they do, because they're being disbanded because lack of resources) there wont be much left.

Hahaha, that's brilliant. You never know what bluffs can do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Interesting how this thread suddenly flipped over from 'worst defeat you've ever suffered' to 'worst defeat you've ever inflicted'...

Apparently people really hate to talk about their own defeats. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Hey I talked about my defeat!

Re: What\'s the Worst that could happen?
 

For me, I'd have to say the time under P&N, where I sent 200 battle ships plus a battlemoon to attack a huge breathable, rebel norak world.
I had biocrystal armored ships, but they had a full planet-load of massive APB platforms with talismans.

The fleet was wiped out, and the battlemoon sustained plenty of damage.

Or, perhaps the game that my Exodus scenario is based on...
One little log message, and suddenly my whole empire is on borrowed time.
The stars go nova, and the whole hermit empire is reduced to nothing more than three tiny colonies, one unmothballed dread and a garrison of fighters.

How is it even possible for that many novas to happen so rapidly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Pre-Gold PBW game. The original Dark Nova game. I engaged a fleet of psychic ships. I out-numbered him nearly 3 to 1 and my ships mopped the floor with virtually anthing that came against them. What i didn't know was thay my enemy ships were armed with computer virus's and allegiance subverters. I attacked him so he got first attack. This was just after the final pre-Gold patch that 'corrected' ship placement during combat. My fleet started at point blank range. After the first round, nearly 1/3 of my fleet was subverted. For those who don't remember, in pre-gold there was no delay in firing weapons on a captured ship. Round 2, my remaining ships were too busy firing on my captured ships (who were firing back) and the next turn another Massive number of my fleet was subverted.

After that, it was a running retreat as I not only had to try to cope with my loses but I had just boosted my enemies numbers in a huge way.

That was my last Pre-gold game.

Bottle ships? Itty bitty ships in little bottles? Ha, that's nothing! Just recently I had an entire fleet of 10 light cruisers wiped out by an AI force that also glassed--

BATTLE ships?

Uh, never mind... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Bottle ships: The scourge of the spaceways! At least, if you're in a thimble!

Some very interesting and also OUCH worthy defeats there, any others come on you've all been playing for years surely you've had a FEW major defeats that are noteworthy and memorable http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

My second worst defeat was this time I was stupid enough to send a 180 dreadnought fleet through a warp point WITHOUT minesweepers well I ran into enough mines to kill about 50 dreads and disable so many of the others that when the bad guy came in with his 200 full health ships he turned my DNs into wreckage.
