What's the biggest screwup you've made?

I believed Valor when he told me that GT Armor Plating HTTs didn't need the station shields to be down.

It was funny. Kinda.

i think one of the biggest mistakes, or at least the funniest was when during a pu game, the first time i was on a map with "dark" sectors, i hopped into an int to chase down a lone bomber headed towards our expansion, most of the team is on a bomb run of their own...i launch from the exp, bomber is ~3k away, i boost with all my might towards the bbr... at 1k from the bbr i smash right into a dark asteroid right as i hit top speed . . .
exp goes boom soon after

the second biggest mistake i have done was trying to htt the red door of an ic garr after spending 5 minutes lineing up and getting a distraction bomb run on a techbase organized.... gorram red/green deficiency in my eyes!

Flying around in F3 with the wrong radar mode, and failing to pick up many pods I could and should of.

Shiny, if you read this, I want to apologize for that.

Antistacking as often as I do. It's always a pain in the ass.

here's an old one i remember.
it was way back in 2001 i think. we had one of
those AZ saturday night 6 teamer game going on.
old zone games if i remember right.
mcwarren was our commander. we had set up
a tp2 drop and i launched from one of our
outer bases. i was the only bomber to launch
from that base and as i did a lone htt entered
thru the aelph. i turned and docked to get an
interceptor. when i launched in the int the htt capped
the op. i remember mcwarren screaming
WHY DID THAT BOMBER DOCK!!!!!!!!!!

i waited 20 seconds for the "you have been booted from your team"
screen to come up. it never did. thanks mcwarren /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

My bad luck with aleph res...
First time not paying attention have thewhole team waiting for me to res the aleph and go through for our bomb run on their tech, I get bored flying twords the aleph and right click... res away.

A different time I turret for serb and decide to start shooting all our missles with ff on, i manage a couple abs, then we set up for res, he fires away and so do I. when nothing happens he goes balistic about his dud res.

Also when I was a newb being given a HTT, and actually having a run with me. All I knew was you go through the enemy's door. So I get there and bounce and bounce for about two minutes before they manage to kill me, later I found out I didn't shoot EMP at the base plus it was the red door.

Capping an Outpost when Deng was comm just as a HTT appears in our Garr sector. I then proceed to launch to D in an Int instead of my HTT and our Garr gets Capped.

I was ashamed and I think I must have apologised to him a dozen times.

Minigun, Booting was off in zone games /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I remember a lot of games where comms were extemely mad at their inability to boot people /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> .

I've had so many I won't even try to list them.

The most entertaining was me being the victim of the first Pookard Maneuver.

Cap ship wars. I was piloting a fully turreted Devestator. I line up on Pook's Assault ship. He cloaks and outruns me. I turn around to head back into the fray. Pook uncloaks directly behind me and his turret gunners let me have it while mine are tied up with another target. Boom. Dead Devestator.
