I once ran a small fleet out of supplies in a black hole system!

Ouch!
There are some things I'm sure we've all done; Forgetting to change research areas, Forgetting to cloak or uncloak a ship, Forgetting to turn off repeat build (I'm bad for this one!  ), ect.

Re: "How dumb is your AI?" Heck, How DUMB R U!
In the game I'm playing now I put shield skipping weapons on a Boarding Ship. It took me 3 times to figure out why the ships they captured were in ruins.
I had not learned anything about drones. I figured they were just simple missiles. Then I lost 3 BattleCruisers to 3 drones and could not figure it. Run Combat Replay. Look at makeup. oops. 300 shields and 600 hit points. Ouch.
"We live and learn or we crash and burn"
I just feel for the crews of those ships and their loved ones.
Let us not forget the "One O'clock in the morning mistake", Colonizing a planet with no people. come on you vetrans, admit to it.

How about choosing "surrender" instead of "demand surrender"...

I'll admit to designing a heavily-armed warship, and not noticing until the first one was built that I'd neglected to put any engines on the design.

Done this one a couple of times with entire fleets being built. What a pain to retrofit each one as it comes off the assembly line, wait for it to get repaired, then try to remember where they were all built!
