Default OT-Favorite SE4 Moment!!!

Like the topic says, what is your favorite game moment??? This is just for fun..

Mine: Fighting a losing battle in a PBW game (8people, me playing the star wars Empire), literally HUNDREDS of baseships flying around. I'm getting hammered by the Shard Empire, a fleet of 150 plus ships has exterminated about 3 systems, then I send in my 'Star Destroyer'

The ship de-cloaks and destroys the star, BOOM! 150 plus ships, most of wich are base ships, go 'poof!'...

I ended up losing the game anyway, but man, it was probally the BEST PBW game I have played to date!!

That and of course, my other favorite moment was opening up the mailbox and finding the envelope with the game in it!

The look on the other guys face when I locked him into his system with Stellar manip tech at the early phases of the game and his star went super nova soon after by a random event!

Wait.... That was me! DOH. Still... I have to admit it was pretty fun. Sucks getting eliminated so early in a game like that though.

The time that my $100,000 dreadnaught went to attack a phong DN, and 9 more decloaked beside it.

A grinding tactical combat ensued, with my expensive defenses slowly being stripped away. At the end, just as I looked to be gaining the upper hand, my supplies ran dry and my shield regenerators collapsed. Just before the Last of my armor vaporized, turn 30 arrived, and two battlecruisers swooped in to save the day.

The time I managed to catch the opposing player, who had better tech and the same number of ships, refitting his entire fleet to even better tech at the same time. Major destruction.

Or, as Cyrien said, "oops, that was me".

The best moment I had was in the Space 1999 scenario. After a very tough, but satisfying fight to dominate the galaxy, I had still not visited Earth. I had never used stellar manipulation before and had spend many turns building a warp point opening ship. I was just about finished with the game when the ship was built, but thought I would try it out. Skipping across the galaxy at such an amazing speed for the first time was great, but to return Earth as the little missing moon base that now ruled the galaxy was even better.
