What's the stupidest thing you've ever done in FS?
For me it's a tie between flying in front of where the Sathanus jumps in while trying to get a pic of the Knossos explosion, and flying a Valkyrie fighter right in front of an Orion while it was jumping out.

Jeese, I was waiting for something totally mental and you guys come up with this?!?  

The silliest thing I've done is being ringside when the 2 pirahnas that I'd just fired spewed out 50 helios torps a piece and blew me south of heaven. (table editing rules!!)

I got all four cannons and the bonus in Bearbaiting on Hard, then I jumped out before I took down the Beleth.

My stupidest thing would be... flying infront of one of the Sathanas' beams one time in "High Noon". Ouch.

Mine was probably to let those damn eggs kill me   there I was, trying to get a picture of my new cruiser (now called the Magellan) when the buggers sneaked up behind me and blasted me outta the sky.
 Actually, scrub that, I think it might have been making them...

My stupidest move, is tied between being 100 meters from the meson bomb when it was destroyed (actually, I was shooting it  ), and the time I made a new hella powerful bomb, but gave it a very short life, and it blew up 1 second after launch, killing me...    there are more, but I don't want to bore you guys...

I made a secondary weapon called the Armageddon. It had 20 million damage, a 170m/s shockwave and a 8000m outer blast. I sent my fleet of fighters (about 30) to attack a Sath and then launched 5 Armageddons. I was 7999m away. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

I made a custom mission set at some distance to the Knossos gate. Well I set it too far away, and my ship self destructed as soon as the mission started

Um... yeah...

I made a mission where you get rammed by a Lucifer as soon as you enter in mission...

And I flew a sathanas once... you know "R.A.M. Them 'till they give up"

Well, my wingmen never gave up, or me for that matter, and we all died in a matter of seconds

stupidest thing I ever did in FS was when I stayed behind in one mission to take on swarms of shivans dragon fighters. After a couple of minutes i ran into subspace with my tale between my legs

Hah! I remember that mission! It is in Derilict, or maybe Warzone, right? I stayed as well, but after the 4th wing I was getting a bit impatient, so I ALT-tabbed into Windows to open up the mission and see just how many wings I could expect. There were 5 altogether, so I stayed and beat them all.  

As far as stupid... Hmmm... I never do anything stupid.  

Actually, once I managed to force my way into the fighter bay of an Orion - right before it warped out...

Also, the second time I played the Derelict dream mission I wanted to see the pirate ship up close, as I had never had the patience to make a mission with one. Anyways, I forgot about the Sathanas that comes in...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
