What I found out is somewhat of a bug, but I was messing around with an ummu turbopack on the moon. Wondering what would happen if I pulled a loop while using the hover hold autopilot, I attempted to flip over. I then found my poor ummu apx. 1600 km away from my XR2, and 160 km above the lunar surface. to make things worse, after I killed my rotation, I found my ummu's rcs to be inoperable. The landing sucked. For the ummu, anyway.

OK: My most lethal blunders:

Walked out the door of a UCGO module. Forgot my suit.

Hit the nose cone switch on my DG-IV... During reentry.

Ran out of gas moving towards Mars. No ISRU.

Left my captain on the UCGO ISS. Forgot to restock it. Went to get a cup of coffee. I had left the time acceleration on 100X.

And now, the coup de grace of all fails...
Loaded AR-01 parked outside Prelude II, unpacked cargo. Oops, wrong one. Why did I bring C4 to the Moon, anyway?

When I first got UCGO, I ran the Arrow Auto-Land demo scenario. After the landing was completed, I unloaded my cargo and immediately selected a UMmu for EVA to unpack the cargo. After deployment, I switched to him and saw that he was dead because I forgot to deploy the crew lift first. :cool:

ive had those days....

The C4 was a mod. I forget which one, though. I think there are quite a few.

I ejected right before reentry and my crew except for the captain which was somehow put back into orbit. Well the rest of the crew glowed for a second and a burnt husk of the main body was left.

Habana turbopack challenge too...

I take off with my turbopack. I don't have anything better to do, so I think 'how hard could it be to make a looping?'

That... wasn't exactly the best landing ever.

Darn. I had to write this over again :compbash:

One time, I was heading toward the moon in a DGIV at a velocity of about 50km/s.

I set my periapsis at around 5 metres above the lunar surface so that I would almost scrape the moon.

A few seconds before periapsis, I turned the DGIV upside-down and ejected my UMMU, who was now traveling at an extremely high velocity horizontally.

Needless-to say, the unfortunate captain had his brains grinded across a few kilometres of moonscape in several seconds, then skipped off of the lunar surface and into a solar orbit, while my Delta-Glider, roof-hight from the surface, shot back out into deep space as well.

Was that it? I thought that was my landing strip! I thought Brighton Beach seemed a bit far away...

Disaster on Gliese 581 g

I was testing the atmosphere in an upcoming update for my Gliese 581 system when i lost control of my DG-IV. I was forced to eject. All survived except for the poor engineer who didn't get out in time to pull her parachute.
