Re: Worst "oops" moments in PBW?
Heh, you guys are talking of past mistakes.
At least it gives the impression that you guys are competant and knowledgable players now.
I just made a dumb-assed mistake in Survivor2
Built a big fleet of some 30+ ships. Knew there may be a problem with mines so built ships with 100+ mine sweeping capability.
Assaulted a planet protected by a small fleet, WP's, sats and a few mines. Won the battle, but lost 1 ship and had 3 damaged to mines.
Mines?
How can that be?
Doh!!! Built ships with 100+ mine laying capability.
Just lucky he elected to launch only a few mines!

Re: Worst "oops" moments in PBW?
I've made a similar mistake. But I caught it before I sent the fleet into battle. I just designed a new Cruiser with mine sweeper IIs and had about 10 planets building them, didn't realize they were mine layers until they reach my fleet organizing point. So I had to mothball all of those and build my sweepers.

They were armed. With guns, said Omari.
Canadians. With guns. And a warship. What is this world coming to?

Re: Worst "oops" moments in PBW?
Well thanks Rags. 
Don't feel so dumb now. I am in good company. 
Oops. Please don't take that comment the wrong way. 
I am wondering how I could make such a mistake.

Just add me to the, "They don't do WHAT when they are cloaked?!?!" minesweeper club.
('nuff said)
