Sort of self-explanatory, but here's mine. Well, I'm a noob in a TIE with 1/0/0/0, and yesterday I decided to go flying around Tat, I think. Well, I decide to hit tab to see who's there, and I see a Hutt smuggler flying a YT. Well, I wasn't sure what to do, and decided to head after it, because I was feeling kind of suicidal. Well, when I approached, I went after it head on, and started attacking. Well, we fired straight at each other, and actually had a head-on collision. I survived, but the Hutt lost his YT's engine. So the ship's just sitting there, and I finish it off. I hit tab, and find a Hutt fighter, forgot the ship. I thought "Cool, it's just about 1k away." It's up above my head, actually. So I look up, and what do I see? About 15 Hutt fighters about to kick my ass I ran like hell. Just barely made it to the station, where they stopped firing, actually.

huh doing the same mission 5 times then on the 6th time bringing a teir 4 and another teir 4 and doing this mission for 2 and a half hours just to be on the final stage (last thing to do) and then 20 fighters (from the mission) spawn infrount of you, then your like F#@& and hyperjump then while u go to get repairs (and your friends are fighting) 10 more spawn infrount of you....alone, to stop you from getting to mission....needless to say, Pwned, and another 2 and a half hours of my life wasted on this god forsakein space cr&p

The corvette HS'ing out after we killed the gunboats, fighter escort and had the vette almost dead. God that sucked.

I got totally pwned on the last missions I did. I was doing tier 3, mission 2 for the Imperial Inquisition.

Had to search a doctors yaght, broadcast the info, rendezvous with a shuttle, rendezvous with another shuttle, and destroy the doctors yaght again. I got through mission 1 and 2 with no problems. Missions 3 and 4 looked a bit much for my badly equipped Tie/Ln, so I hyperspaced around the rebel mobs. I thought mission five would be do-able, as I'd nuked the yaght in the first mission. Got to it and it had four Tier 3 Ixyens as an escort - I eat those for breakfast!

In I go.. disable one, get hit by a missile and my rear shields all but vanish.. what the? Missiles usually only take off a tiny part! Manage to disable a second Ixyen and get hit by another missile. Zero rear shields and armour's going fast. eek! I turn towards the fighters to try and keep my front shields towards them and another missile hits the rear! no armour left, and the engine's kaput. no way am i ejecting, so I have to float there for about 10 minutes while they suddenly decide to stop using missiles and become incredibly bad shots.

Luckily I had just enough money for half repairs, so now I've gone into a tailoring frenzy to try and save up money to fix my ship, buy some crafted weapons, and lay waste to those Ixyens and their rebel scum friends!

Mine was beliveing that the so called 'safe passage' listed on the Tat sector POI was actually safe. I go flying out there w/ only Novice Pilot and find swarms of Z95 Commerce Raiders in the nearby asteroid field. yea funny definition of 'safe'.

The real OMG moments come when you are a gunner on a MP ships, not a pilot, when you sit there helplessy as the sheilds fail, your weapon gets disabled, and plasma starts venting everywhere (all while the pilot is AFK). At least in a Nova you can eject anytime, but if you are stuck in the back seat of a Y-Wing and the pilot takes a nap, you are SO hosed.

mine was right after making master pilot and heading to deep space for my first time. i get there, and begin attacking the star destroyer. after about 30min and having to hyper out for repairs (my cap took a hit) i managed to take it down solo. so im sitting there right where the bridge used to be talking to my guild about how much a$$ i kick, completely unaware of how long it takes to respawn. all the sudden my screen is filled with ISD agian and as a reflex i hit my fire button.

so here i am, mabee 50m in front of the bridge, sitting absolutly still. i shoot with 1 dinky little lvl7 loot weapon..... and it shoots back with 100 turbolasers.

My latest "D'oh" moment was tackling the corvette. Had the son of a gun limping on a damaged engine, no shields, #5 gun gone, and it hypered out.

D'oh!
