The more egregious the better.
Straight up when we started, my friends and I thought you moved every ship, THEN did actions with every ship in the same order as you moved them. Then we did combat correctly. We played this way for probably our first dozen games before I finally watched a youtube video of people playing the right way and we started to play right.
I thought spending a focus or evade only changed one die.
I thought Marksmanship was the coolest upgrade ever!
I flew an XWing
We also dealt crit cards face-up but didn't count them as hull damage.

I did all crits to hull under shields.
When moving ships we would move the entire base along the path of the template. If any part of the base along the path overlapped an obstacle, we suffered its effects.
We thought having a stress at all in any point during a round meant you could take an action that round, even if you cleared it with a green maneuver that round.
I always some how flew Kath off the board. Constantly miss judge how much a large ship moves. Heck sometimes I still do
Also thought ID tokens where used to kept track of activation order
I had thought for the longest time that when you Barrel Rolled, that it had to be corner to corner to corner with the template. Didn't realize that only when you placed the template did it have to be touching a corner.
And, we always forgot about mutually assured destruction too.

I get the Focus error but the Evade error??? Evade never changed dice but only ever gave you one result.
Thinking Evade Tokens could be used to cancel a crit from Ten or a hit from an Autoblaster.
Looking at maneuver templates any time except from when performing a maneuver.

BR doesn't need to touch any corners unless I'm missing something. It can go anywhere on the side and touch any part of the side on the other end.
MAD = Simultaneous Fire?? When it comes to tournaments it seems that mutually assured destruction can no longer happen.

THIS. I flew Firesprays off the map like clockwork in the beginning. To this day, I think I still fly overly-conservative with them, not taking certain maneuvers that are totally safe but my brain tricks me into thinking it's too close.

Apparently it's something I am still doing wrong. Just checked the rulebook, you are correct on the Barrel Roll haha.
I thought that you could only take TLs on ships in arc. I don't think this would be bad thing anyway
I thought proton torpedoes were absurdly good.
I thought Focus tokens only let you reroll Focus results (why I thought this, with TL being a thing, I have no idea).
I thought you could take the same action twice, if you wanted to (like with Darth Vader).
I thought BR was middle-middle, in other words, no forward or backwards movement, only lateral.
I started posting before I knew what I was talking about:
"Vader is the best ship - you can barrel roll him 3 times in a single turn! How is Fat Han any better than that?"
Cancelling crits before hits ... or 'I'll take the crit on shields and the hits on hull'
moving a ship then barrel rolling him to slip arc before revealing next ship manoeuvre and realising you just barrel rolled into the spot that the second ship would go.
Turn Left.
No...your other Left. Check your dial.
Ehhhh....ohhhhh...uhhhhh... Fat Han exits the matt.
Aiming my movement at where they are, not where they're going...
Get the wrong maneuver (right-left) when I'm facing my ship. I started to get my dial upside down to get the right side where to fly mine ships
I started the game directly partecipating in a store championship, thanks to the shop owner borrowing me 3 interceptors to fly.
Somehow I was doing good (I was just setting up in a corner, starting with 2 straight with all of them and then switching to 5 + boost. It seemed to took everyone off-guard) and got paired with a very good player.
My opening worked again, and I was in a great position to indefinitly chase a Dash inside his donut hole. The issue was that at that poin, my interceptors were flying toward me. I dialed the wrong turns, so instead of chasing Dash I went to the other side. Game was soon over.
Somehow I still managed to reach top. In the semifinal I was facing a nasty list which also involved a Decimator with Vader crew. I had no idea that moving through rocks won't allow you to do actions: I ended up at r1 of that Decimator while being actionless. Game over.
Doing red maneuvers even with stress and just getting another stress token, AND thought I could do the same action twice in a turn... running Jake for the first time I focused, did a free BR and then PTL attempting to do another BR. That's when I got caught out.
I put Expert Handling on a ship, thinking the "free" part meant I could take an action before/after the barrel roll.

I don't believe Vader can do the same action twice: " During your "Perform Action" step, y ou may perform 2 actions ."
