We are all *happy campers*

Was fighting with a friend of mine, and my ZFP went all Gene Simmons with his tounge attack. It shot past him (hell of a shot to waste on a miss) and continued past so far the screen zoomed out as far as it would pan. We stopped fighting and just watched the thing reel back in for the next four seconds or so. Never seen it happen again, have no idea what caused it in the first place. (original PC release)

A Cheese-Shaped Wedge in Space

While fighting mycon -I hate their Juffo-Whup relegion- one of them regenerated to a few thousand crew.
Needless to say I would take the 10 fuel jump out then 10 hours.

Deep fried Lemur, anyone?

I had the ZFP glitch happen to me too, but unfortunately it was between battles, so I didn't get to go all Kung-Fu on the computer with it.

That actually kind of makes sense -- warping in and warping out so fast the light-image of your ship is still there for the enemy to shoot at. Like the Picard Manuever in Star Trek.

Bug 619 is probably the weirdest one, but the most obscure one I've seen is bug 700. Bug 198 was kind of funny.

I had a very, very strange one happen only once and I'm still baffled by it.
I started a new game, zoomed in on Earth and tried to see if I could escape before the Ur-Quan drone got to me. It got my tail just before I could get away. I heard the noise it makes when you're given the option to converse or give combat (I think, this was a few years ago) and then next thing I know I'm seeing the ship selection screen for a battle against the Su-Matra and the game locked up.

Kill The Interloper!

I was on my way to trade life-form data to the Melnorme (can't remember which star but it was Ur-Quan space) and I was running low on fuel. A Kohr-Ah task force appeared ahead (well a black blob) and before I had time to disengage auto pilot and maneuver around them they attacked...
The lack of fuel (3 units I think) meant no chance of escape and I only had an earthling cruiser (Fwiffo was dead due a silly slip of the keyboard on my part!). 
Anyway, the cruiser was soon trashed, and then I was forced to fight with my flagship! After a valiant attempt the flagship was destroyed! 
"Oh Sh*t" I exclaimed, having not saved the game for ages - but wait! what's that?
The screen went straight back to the hyperspace view and there was my flagship! intact! and not a Kohr-Ah to be seen!
VERY weird!! It sounds similar to the "Ninja" bug mentioned, but I didn't have enough fuel to warp out anyway....Although I MAY have been pressing the escape key repeatedly in frustration...

I remember something about exiting Quasispace through the natural Hyperspace to Quasispace portal just as it was closing and ending up in Hyperspace at something like 300:2000. Bug 108 matches the description. This screenshot shows that even the original PC version had this bug.
I was kind of disappointed that you couldn't explore this "way outside the usual game area" space; you just get teleported back to normality when you move.
