Looking over the op, Is the rule about only being able to target Pegasus if someone's on it a DEFCON thing? If so, I'm prepared to go over there pre-XO just so that we have the option.

I believe it is a newish house rule being tested out. Not a terrible idea if you can spare the cards to hop between ships, but I still like the idea of shooting at the basestar to get it off the board.

I'd rather get Tigh out of sickbay right now, on refliection, and stick around on Galactica in hopes of repairing Command. He can go shoot things in my stead and I'll pay him back.

Podima posted:Is it worth seeing if Cocks will let us swap it out? It seems like it was honestly a knowledge gap and the Viper hasn't done anything meaningful yet. No swap out. You guys will be fine. If someone doesn't specify the viper type, I will default to regular vipers. Also remember that according to DEFCON, when a Cylon Attack places vipers, the CAG gets to choose the viper type (if any available). That was never used last game  Stelas posted:Looking over the op, Is the rule about only being able to target Pegasus if someone's on it a DEFCON thing? It's a separate house rule from DEFCON, but I just rolled it into the same list. It came from the main BSG discussion thread. We used it last game and it worked swimmingly. It's there to balance out Pegasus and keep it from becoming a simple +4 HP.

I could take a shot at a basestar, or maybe saunter over to pegasus to do some extra effective pew-pewing.

So on my turn, it looks like I have two good options: 1) Move to Foxtrot, XO someone else (Pander for pewpew?). This is the "safe" option. 2) Move to Alpha and hope someone XOs me. Would let me attack the basestar but leaves me open to raider attacks

It's actually pretty bad luck that we haven't gotten a Raider activation yet. At some point, I'd like to get to my Office, but I realize that's not a super high priority right now.

Tigh plays Tactics-4 (Strategic Planning). Tigh activates Pegasus CIC targeting Basestar in ALPHA. d8+2=9 DOUBLE HIT! Critical Hit. Structural Damage. Basestar in ALPHA is destroyed! DEFCON increases by 2.  DEFCON d8=8 DEFCON increases by 7. Action Queue ==> Friction123 (CAG Apollo): Choose Cylon Attack.

I still have a Support of the People in hand, if people reckon it's worth it at this stage. It'd only net 4 cards in return for a reckless though. I can play pretty heavily into it, too.

Not sure Support the People is worth it at this point, yeah. This is our first card-playing crisis of the game. I can play in a little bit, but I have a pretty darn good hand I'd like to put to use. Remind me of the secrecy rules - is it OK to mention a specific card I can play into the check, or do I need to just allude to its effects?

I'll leave it to Tigh to comment on their hand, but at minimum we should hit the Partial. We should be able to do that with a few cards at most, and we started the game with a Morale hit - no sense in starting the downhill tumble before we've even jumped once.
