You think you're being fired upon by the enemy and realize it is actually YOUR pta system firing at them instead.

during a hyperjump you see a planet ahead and think, oh my god I think were gonna hit it!

When you drive your CC nose-first into the pacific, just to see what happens.

(well, either a noob, or very bored)

[weegee_101]

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.)

When the first kill you make is your own CC.

[/indent]THAT is funny!!! and oh so TRUE!!

[RamStone]

Ive done the first two and some how I've managed to crash my CC into an enemy starbase

[Matchoo]

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)

when you land on a planet. jump out. and start freaking out; because, your ship takes off and leaves you stranded.

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.
