So there I was, cruising around in my Federation Cruiser Model B. Luck, it seemed, was on my side for this run.
I had a crew of six, a teleport, and all the missiles and bombs a man could ever want. Now currently, I am in Sector 4, and I engage a standard Rock Ship. Not a problem, soon their shields are down and I decide to send my boarding party over (a mantis and rock) to kill the crew. No everything is going fine and, what's that? Oh, a wild freaking Artillery Laser appears?

Needless to say, I was a bit flustered. Still, I valiantly carried on, and two sectors later I had two Rocks as a boarding party. Obviously I made sure to turn the Artillery Laser off before I boarded any craft; nobody makes that mistake again, right guys?

WRONG!

The enemy ship is is disarray, there is one crew member left, the brave soldiers Ralph and Roland descend to squash his puny Zoltan head, and as Ralph prepares for one final blow.....

BOOM!

I don't often want to punch kittens, but my god, this nearly did it for me.

So the moral of the story is, don't be a thick, incompetent moron like myself.

Atleast it was by the auto laser, I've done it with guns.

I done this exact same thing when I was one punch away from unlocking the Mantis cruiser, I powered the beam down but forgot I had upgraded the damn thing so kaboom was gutted.

You know, I have had this several times do to my own fire. I turn of auto fire now when I am teleporting a lot. I do recall one time, I was boarding, it was going fine, the enemy ship was down to 1 health, and I watched as one of my shots made its way from my ship. My crappy reactions being what they are made a jump for the space bar with my thumb. I managed to get it in time, just as I saw the bolt like 1 pixil away from hit. Teleporter, click on my dudes, watch as they come back as ship breaks up.

I've blown up ships with my crew on them many times. Once I also took down the enemy O2 with my crew while it only had one health left causing the whole thing to blow up. That was probably the my worst.

Good it wasn't just me. "Oh I'll soften him up with this halberd beam a little"

DOH!

I shot 2 healt ship with my burst laser II ... They gave up after 1st hit of 3 round burst,so my crew survived
