Completing all bonuses and objectives in the mission and then getting EMP'd, disabled, and then destroyed when Command didn't tell me to jump. :mad2:

Maybe not the most embarrassing, but definitely the most infuriating   :mad: :banghead: Happened to me a number of times while playing through the retail campaigns.

Getting plastered by a friendly capship beam.

Accidentally squished between the Taranis and the docking Halkins. :(

Bludgeoning myself to death against the hull of a friendly warship while trying to locate the hangar in a mission with no ambient light.

Well, YOU control the ambient light. YOU are supposed to set up the command line flags correctly. So it's all YOUR fault :p

Which probably makes it even more embarrassing.

Flying behind a bomber shooting at it, then running into one of its bombs as it launches it and falls behind it.

Oh yes! I heard hostiles approaching, but I thought to myself, "I have time." And after the support said, "Rearming complete, sir. You're good to go," BOOM! We're both dead. :nono:

Again, try playing with Fury's AI in Insane. Those Anubises are a b*tch to get your reticle on. Their lack of burners doesn't balance their ridiculously high turning rate once you're in dogfighting range. If you want a hint, it turns faster than an Ulysses.

I've flown straight into a friendly capship beam. All through the house (and possibly the neighborhood) you'd hear '****!', since, you know, I was rather close to the end.
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

There was a time when Slammers were exceedingly powerful and had insane damage radius, without any safety fuzes for distance.

In my zeal, I launched a full dual dumbfire salvo of them on a wing of fighters that were right on top of me and pressed trigger again immediately. Everyone exploded.

The first time I played Delenda Est.  After having completed it without checkpoints on hard.  The most infuriating thing ever.

If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.
