weegee_101 Report post Posted June 9, 2004 You become frustrated that you can't fire any missles on the planetary surface, and then realize you don't have any ATS or ATA missles loaded. (Ahh yes, I remember doing that one looooong ago.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matchoo Report post Posted June 10, 2004 You beam yourself down to a planet and can't figure out how to get yourself back off.... - or - You land you ship on the planet, get out of your CC, then later on you think your ship is broken because you can't get back in using 'Alt-E' (I later remembered '/' works much better) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamotto Report post Posted June 10, 2004 When you instruct your ship to HJ and then get out and attempt to ride your ship in first person "Surfer" style only to have the ship disappear under your feet and leave you, well not going anywhere. Then attempt to catch up with it with your jetpack thinking it won't take long it's only 300,000 klicks away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
