Let's take a break from complaining about others (
) and let this thread exist in the spirit of some light self-mockery
What do you consider the most stupid thing you ever did in this game, something that really made you want to bite your own TRIBBLE but which actually lets you laugh once the first moments of frustration passed?
I'll begin with something recent. Today, I blew 500 Omega-marks and some Dil because I cancelled a project AFTER contributing almost anything when I noticed the char was short on dil. I took little notice that all my contributed stuff will just vanish if canceled (and I still think it is a bad system just waiting for people like me to fall into that trap) and *poof* it was gone. I tell you, I'm still feeling stupid but somehow that blatant fail makes me laugh as well.
Share your stories. Maybe I don't feel like a lonely fool anymore afterwards

I did this all well and felt so stupid after I realized it I also kept skipping the episodes instead of doing them and leveling up fast I was stuck as a lieutenant for almost two weeks I have no clue why I did it but am happy I realized it.

The reason I feel this stupid? Simply because I hardly, if ever, use the vessels. I've also got the Chel Grett, but I don't remember the last time I fired that up either. My Federation character (the one that has these three ships) alternates between a Fleet Excelsior & Fleet Assault Cruiser. My lock box rewards don't get a look in anymore.
And once I was buying a Very Rare MK XII Deflector on the exchange for a fleetmate and traded it to the wrong person. Fortunately the person was honest and traded right back.
1. I bought the EV suit from the C-Store and accidentally slotted it onto one of my BO's without realizing it, and though ST:O ate it, so I bought another one.
Only later after getting like 3-4 on screen messages from one of my Science BO's did I realize he was wearing the EV Suit.
2. I accidentally sold my only chef through the Exchange. DOH! Then couldn't do any of the DO Assignments that required a Chef.
I finally knuckled under and bought a replacement common chef from the exchange, only to be awarded a Blue one in a reward pack that I looted.
I feel your pain.
and the classic,"Forgot to pick up my lootdrop, at the end of a STF."
Nowadays I only do it to get Lobi, and only with keys purchased with funny money from the exchange, and I *still* feel like a moron for doing it.
2 things stand out,
i bought the kumari ship pack for a fed toon i never play on now.
and my new rom char was a liberated borg with the skill bug at lvl 10 so rather than w8 i deleted it to make a reman, shame i forgot to put 25 master keys into the bank first:eek:
Sold 5 masterkeys for the price of 1.
Bought the Ody pack which I no longer use.
Opened a recluse and orb weaver on a 2nd Engineer toon before realising I hated humans and switching back to my alien.
Ground a starbase to T3 with a few people and then just gave it away as the fleet was dead.
Bought LTS (though that firework is totally worth it!)
Switch to new ship, deck it all out, get it all working then declare the ship to be fail 3 minutes into elite STF. Then at the end notice it's still on balanced power setting....
I could go on but I have a 2nd Romulan to finish leveling...
It is through repetition that we learn our weakness.
A master with a stone is better than a novice with a sword.
Has damage got out of control?

I once made the mistake of flirting with this really good looking female toon once because she was really cute. Yeah, turns out "she" wasn't so much of a she. Rather embarrassing actually. You never know who is on the other side of the keyboard no matter how they present themselves. A bit of a caution of being wary there (not that I'm sure most of you need the warning).
Nope...ship still underwhelms, at least for me, and I was back in my Defiant Retro-Fit after a couple of Fleet Alerts. Those 50 million ECs would have been nice to buy more keys with with all the damn lock boxes I have in the bank from drops, lol.
Also had a friend join the game finally and mailed them a ton of gear to use at end game, including a bunch of Mk XII (purple) weapons and two lockbox ships(no big deal, they were just mirrors), then he texts me that he gave me the wrong global name and his was off by a couple numbers at the end of what he had given me. Some random person got some really nice stuff, and never even bothered to thank me or my friend for our combined stupidity, lol.
i figured wheni got to 50 all of those skills would have been filled up..
so my first guy had every level 1 and 2 skill unitl i had enough dil to respec..
keep in mind back then price of zen was like 300 per
