Or saving the game on a collision course with a massive enemy fleet you can't avoid. (because you were looking elsewhere on the screen at the time.) :)

I have done many a foolish thing in SS:

- After a battle with CABAL, with several rare Templar weapons and much needed supplies on the loot screen, forget to press grab all before leaving.
- Buy 50 marines to grab the Liberty Mod-ship in Penelope's Star System, bringing me down to 200 credits ... with SS+ wage system in place.
- Getting into repeated fights with pirate scouts / CABAL raiders / Luddic Pathers that you can't catch - Great way to lose supplies.
- Not paying attention to the bounty news feed and having a small destroyer / mining fleet, and jumping into a system through a planet... that has a 300K Deserter Bounty Fleet sitting on it.

But the worst of all:

-Forgetting to turn your transponder back on under any circumstances, and then misclicking when you get intercepted, refusing the scan and forcing you to fight an allied strike fleet.

Go to Ludd base for organics. Realize my cargo is empty on mission arrival...

Pretty sure we have all done this at one point.

I generally do the opposite: shell out for the cargo and forget to actually accept the mission. Which is better than the alternative, I suppose, as I can still sell the cargo at some point, but it's a pain in the ass trying to find a market where I can actually make a modest profit and not being able to accept any other big jobs in the interim.
