I remember accidentally pressing "f" or something when paused in hyperspace on Elite when I was about 8, and nearly shat myself when I unpaused, came out of hyperspace and was killed almost instantly by about 6 thargoids. My brother managed to kill all the thargoids, and the invisible ship (cobra? can't remember.), then approached the cargo which was the cloaking device, then... managed to crash into and destroy the cloaking device instead of picking it up. I cannot believe I remember this. I should remember things like holidays, and seeing friends. Not video games. Oh wasted youth:(
