* DemonicSpiders: Orion Pirates. To be fair, this depends on the Orion ship. The AI randomly assigns weapons emplacements to the Orion ships, so you can end up facing anything from a [[BreatherBoss Dreadnought armed with dinky Type 3 phasers]] to a [[CurbStompBattle Light Cruiser with six missile launchers and a plasma torpedo]]. And the [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard computer]] will make ''damn'' sure that they barely ever match up with the strength of your starship. Expect hilarity to ensue. Not to mention rage when you encounter said light cruiser. Expect to scream at your monitor while you watch your hull strength drop by a quarter with ''each fucking barrage.''
* FirstInstallmentWins: Averted. Starfleet Command 2, Empires At War and Orion Pirates both, seems to be the version of choice for many players. Possibly due to how [[{{Technobabble}} easily modable they are, and how they handle community models made for the games]]. That isn't to say the other two don't have their fans as well.
* GoodBadBugs: And plain bad bugs. In SFCIII your wingmen will do things like [[LeeroyJenkins charge straight into the middle of an enemy fleet or right at a starbase]], sit back and do absolutely nothing during a mission, refuse to follow your commands, and if they stay with you for several missions they'll just up and self-destruct ''for no reason whatsoever''.
