Great game, had alot fun to play it today. One strange thing i had while playing today, not sure if there is a little bug or whether if I really was mistaken in the course of the game (could also be possible).

The following happened. I played and had only one ship left, then i made it to the 20.000 and there the player gets the first extra-ship, right. Then i thought - okay, now i have two ships left again and i can have one of my ships captured by the enemies and then retrieve it and have double the shooting power. But in the moment, when i was captured, the Game Over message occurred, as if the game hadn't properly registered, that i had just been given an extra life some seconds before.

Have you ever had a situation like this in the course of a game?

I can confirm that you are right.

Christ. This is what happens when you do a bug fix at midnight while you're on hold with 111. Version 6,421 incoming.

I had the opposite - twice in one game I was showing 0 ships in reserve, got killed, and actually still had another life. (The number of ships was correct, it was the display that was wrong.) Haven't been able to reproduce it, though - I thought it might be if your Challenging Stage bonus took you through the extra-life threshold, but it isn't that.
