[Commander Zane]

I accidentally FREDed two orders into an Argo transport for a mission I was designing.  It was supposed to dock with an Orion, but the player could tell it to dock with something else.  When playtesting, I told it to dock with said else.  First, it finished docking with the Orion... then started moving for the second ship WITHOUT UNDOCKING.

I didn't see any of this until an Orion hull moving well over 500 m/s smashed my fighter like an angry diety.

Needless to say, I was

I tried it again, no changes.  I see the Argo dock, and then start moving, and the Orion started swinging around like a baseball batting machine.  The Argo was moving in my general direction, so I got smacked again, and ended up abour 3 kilometers away fromt he Orion, where I could see it swinging like a top on its long axis.

I immediately dubbed it the Giant-Baseball-Bat-of-Doom Mk. II.

Video! Video!

Well there was that mission in FoW:Ch1 where the Argo tends to push the GTD Legion into subspace with it (causing a RETARDEDLY MASSIVE subspace vortex as the Orion is being pushed it with its length basically being the radius) due to a bug, but being whacked by a setup like that is pretty funny.

All the more reason to LOCK ORDERS.

I don't know how to make videos like that.

Well, there are two transports that the player calls in, and each can dock to each objective (as I FREDed, it works).  The problem is when one is ordered to dock to both.  Then the fun starts.   (Was trying to go for a military sense of redundancy)

Now, when I was doing some experiments with FRED2 way back when 3.6.9 was "kickin' it," I had a mission where a great mass of Terran vessels were to attack a Sath... this also was before I got the beams to work as desired...

One of the attacking ships was of course the Colly, which, due to its poor retail maneuvering characteristics, is a terrible danger to be around when maneuvering. Several AI Ursas assigned to bomb the Sath discovered this aspect to be all to relative, and had a most unfortunate and literal "beat-down" as a result...

-Thinking you are far enough away from a Cap-ship to survive its explosion, when in reality.. your not.

-Flying a Perseus on the Enif Station mission, going to critical hull integrity, attempting to stay outside the AAAh range of the NTCv Hawkwood while takeing the beams out with a stiletto, only to have an AAA beam strike through the missle and hit you REGARDLESS. 

[deathfun]

I always seem to never be out of range

Probably because I hug it's hull while shooting to avoid cannon and beam fire while making enemy fighters assist me in destroying the ship with their missed shots...

I increase shields and engine, but it's never enough
Never

Canon:

Colliding with an asteroid.

Tagging an enemy ship while being directly between it and the nearest AAA-Ultra turret.

Trying to hide from enemy beams behind a dying ship that gets penetrated.

Stopping a bomb by ramming it (in subspace).

Getting punched by a rotating barrel of a turret.

Losing your engines in combat (works best when the support ship is unavailable).

Non-canon:

FREDding a mission where you can activate self destruction by the touch of a button and touching it.

Climbing and hitting your burners when you should have dove and hit your burners.

I recall that I mentioned it elsewhere but it is still fun:
First playthrough of  the FS2 main campaign, final mission. I was stupid enough to go with a Herc (oh, boy... no words can describe that eternal suffering), so I took a bad beating. Command announces the supernova, I have 3% HP with two Dragons chasing me. As I am trying to dodge their shots I desperately try to reach the node. In the end, the Dragons killed me before the nova would've reached me, but I still got the ending.

Self-quote about : "I really wasn't expecting this much losership"

[Thaeris]

As I'm a Herc 2 adept, I prefer the Herc to the Eri on the last mission. Works just fine for me. 

[Droid803]

I took an Ares on my first run of that mission.
Yeah the supernova thing didn't turn out so well.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I always take an Ares on that mission. Unfortunately, I got carried away with creaming Seraphims to notice that I was ten seconds behind schedule. I was following an age-old Interplay hint of making a run for the node at 11:00. However, I started to make my run at 11:10. Biggest mistake in my life.

[Colonol Dekker]

Once on a friendly multi match, a squadwar warm up if you will. I took out my good friend LOA__DREDDs nav or whichever subsystem causes lack of flight control.
And I let him fly off for a good five minutes on full speed before telling him about shift + end.

There is such a subsystem?

I fly either Herc every time I have a chance.

Though during my brief excursion into multi, I did pretty good dodging 4 others player's fire for 9 minutes in a Perseus

[Firartix]

Stopping a bomb by ramming it (in subspace).

Man, i already tried that (in normal space), but it seems you can't ram those bombs ....
Am i wrong >_< ?

[Thaeris]

Ohhh no...

You can definately ram bombs... but it's really not a good idea! 

[Firartix]

Actually i tried ramming some bombs but it never detonated.
The ship just fly through it..

I tried doing this in a Blueplanet mission where you get an invincible unarmed ship and there is another ship that HAS to die from a bomb explosion... I tried to ram the bombs several times but that never worked.

[Leeko]

I immediately dubbed it the Giant-Baseball-Bat-of-Doom Mk. II.

Reproduced by making an Argo dock with a Colly, then chase a Dragon that is set to "keep safe distance".
