The closest I've ever personally come to an NPE when (pre-TMP and Transport Inhibitors) an opponent used Invasive Beam-In to beam a couple of Jem'Hadar aboard my Outpost to just hang out there and kill anyone who I reported while he went off to go complete missions and score points to win the game. I conceded because he did this while I didn't have any crew out and I didn't see anything I could do about it.
Even then though, I left feeling like "What can I do to counter this strategy?" rather than "Screw this noise." Even though I'm not sure if I ever did figure out a counter, I do think a big difference in me considering it as me being squashed by a good deck idea rather than an NPE was the opponent's attitude. Had he been acting like a jerk about it, I'm sure I would have left the game feeling much more negatively.
