You mis-key on a tpad upgrade:

Would you like to place a subspace order for one? (Y/N) Yes

You send an order for a Planetary Transporter to HVT and the moment
the transaction clears the Galactic Bank, you notice a sparkle
on the docking pad of your Citadel. The level 1 P-Transporter arrives
quickly and is immediately ready to use!

50,000 credits have been deducted from your personal funds.

Citadel treasury contains 0 credits.
Citadel command (?=help) C

<Computer>

<Computer activated>

Computer command [TL=00:00:00]:[3064] (?=Help)? B


ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ARE YOU SURE CAPTAIN? (Y/N) [N] Yes

You issue the command to your Ship computer to start the Corbomite
self-destruct system. All of your crew jettison in escape pods, but you,
the captain, remain behind with your vessel. You stand proud on the
wretched remains of the bridge of your ship as the count down finishes:


In a nearby sector, a Federation Patrol Ship notices a brilliant star
suddenly flare and then die out in the distance......
Your flagship has been destroyed!
Your pod has been destroyed!

You will have to start over from scratch!
Maybe you'll have better luck with a different ship!

I've done it trying to turn on the interdictor as well. THAT was an expensive lesson.

Do I ever play by hand? Sure, but that's why they make cby protection scripts.

And it's too bad the software won't work. It was quite expensive. Knowing my luck I'd tell it to World Trade and next thing you know it does the CBY. [:D]
