Worst "oops" moments in PBW?

[Slick]

I will add just a few more. I am probably in the running for points leader...

the empty colonizer (hey, who hasn't)

the introduction to the Allegiance Subverter. "Hey, he took my ship!!!!" In my first or second game, I didn't really know what psychic racial traits could do.

the engineless ship

the wrong colonizer type sent

the overproduction causing ship abandonment

the Resource Converter planet left on "repeat orders" to convert organics to minerals causing a huge drain on organics. Did not determine cause until I had overcompensated by building mucho farms.

the mothballed fleet using a spaceyard ship. mothballed the spaceyard ship too. Unable to mothball without sending another spaceyard ship over there. Didn't make it there before the fleet got waxxed by a single ship.

the building of a research computer complex on an intelligence planet.

the wild goose chase by attacking the first ship in the enemy fleet. he ran with that ship and took my chasing fleet with it while the rest of his fleet raped and plundered.

the emergency supply pod on a ship with no supply storage.

the engine retrofit at a spaceyard with no resupply depot = no supplies. As the Chinese say..."Supplies!" (get it?)

the unguarded warp opener (which took forever to build) getting waxxed by an incoming enemy fleet after opening its first warp point.

oh, the memories...

Slick.
