What's the worst thing you could hear someone say in space? You know, that thing that you read and causes you to spit beer all over your monitor as your arms fly over the keys. You try typing, "Stop you idiot! You're going to get yourself killed!" but all you can come up with is, "stpo yuo r gona deeeeeeeee1!!11" And even that's too little, too late... by the time that unintelligable nonsense reaches their screen all that's left are bits of floating debris.
Sometimes you're the culprit. You have an idea that you think is genius. You realise that it's stupidity, utterly and truly, after you've typed your soon-to-be famous last words and started off towards the Star Destroyer in your blaster-less Scyk. The explosion at that point is a mere formality, a beurocratic step the enemy ships have to go to in order to validify your idiocy. It's like a giant stamp, only instead of ink there are missiles, and instead of a stamp there are more missiles.
So what's your favorite Famous Last Words... in space?
-"Hey, I'm gonna try something I read about on the forums."

"I can't wait to try out these spacebombs on that* thing."
and
"I wonder how this* will go with my new mouse**."
*the evil gunboat on the last teir 4 smuggler privateer mission with the insane top speed aggressive manuvers and insane missiles and guns.
**the ugliest lopsided trackball mouse you ever have seen.

In Deep Space aboard a YKL-37r:
"Guys? Don't shoot at the gunships!"
*BOOOOOOOOOOM*
At Dantooine aboard a YKL-37r:
"Er...we're not supposed to shoot at the gunships?"

"Never tell me the odds!" (Really, I said that. 
)
"Ummm... guys... would you mind manning the turrets? That would a good idea..." (said as my Nova Cruiser as getting blasted to pieces while the gunners were wandering around my ship.)
"Lasers? Who needs lasers?I can outrun that thing!" ...Boom. (In my Nova, trying to outrun a starfighter just before it fried me.)

"What kind of ship is that? I'm gonna shoot at it..." (speaking of a vette from the turret of a yt)
Death and dying.
Also, "hyperspace coordinate calculation....75%" as you get blasted to debris trying to escape...

*While I'm headed for the vette in Kessel.
Player asks me:
"Wanna try taking out the vette with me?"
Few seconds later player is going in guns blazing toward the engines and he explodes.
Same thing every time, you can tell someone who hasn't done it before because they will approach from the rear thinking it's safe, then the gunboats get them or the top turrets do. I'm usually directly below after having taken out bottom turret looking straight at them. Sigh...
