All Time favorite SE moment

Well what is yours.

Mine is the time i sent a battle hardended fleet of ships up against a vastly smaller and weaker fleet.

Unfortanty the fleet was set to do not break formation and the arrow formation. So the first ship would move and then the enemy ships had enough fire power to kill the first ship and then blow up the engines off the next ship to take over.

So all my other ships would attempt to keep formation and move backwards to regroup.

this repeated over and over. Yes I actually took the time out to watch the repeat to see what happened...

End result. 100% loses for the tesco fleet. 0% for the enemy.

Runner ups

ADM004 ---- The person who declared war on I believe dogscoff by stating that they were going to fling dog poo at them ( along those lines )

DIM2x game. All of it. Figuring out how to beat Mark and his +1 propulsion Religious combo. Which forced myself to work with geo and ED. And I got to know Geo and ED from that game.

#SE4 channel and a conversation with kwok , SJ , Mac and Fyron making fun of Zero and his stolen shoe......

Shrapnel... making Gryphin and Tigga their own thread to talk about stuff which became the Cantina and all the craziness of that thread...

Well those are mine what are yours ??????

So many memories..

How about this week when my single ship behind enemy lines caught a couple dozen of their ships limping home with no escort after a big battle.

Turkey shoot!

The best part was it all hapened two squares away from his fleet of 80 ships that were perfectly healthy.

(Yeah, I'm still losing the war, but I'll take what victories I can get.

First time I successfully captured a planet with troops, rather than glassing it.

First time I convinced an AI to surrender.

An 8-player PBW game in which I finished 3rd, thru lots of diplomatic juggling plus vulching the losers of other players' wars.

The first time I made a sphereworld and then realizing it would take the rest of the game just to build all the facilitys on it.

The Battle of Correlia.

I thought my goose was cooked. Instead, I discovered the power of mines.

I was surprised when Gecko showed up in an asteroid system (next to a system producing a lot of resources) with a fleet of 30 ships (mostly LCs). I just knew I was doomed so I thought the only thing I could do (since I had been have some success with fighters against him) was to move all my fighters to guard the hole and hopefully slow the fleet down while I put all the planets on emergency build. When he came through the hole to my system, he met about 60 small fighters. Gecko had taken Organic race and had lowered his aggression considrably since he planned on using missiles and ramming against me. When the dust settled, I had about 20 fighters left as his ships mounted a lot of missiles and armor (and only a few direct fire weapons which had a miserable time hitting). Oh, and NO PD.

Now, THAT felt good!

When I managed to make the Eee surrender just by using PPP.

That was before PPP was fixed and in vanilla Se4, but that was still great to see nevertheless.

You know, it has been over a year and a half since that incident. And almost a year since I have had heavy involvement in the community, and yet, you guys still remember that, and I still hear about it every time I log in...

Was it really that funny?
