Probably covering civs is enough for now? It's not the raiders currently on the board that I'm worried about, it's the bad-luck early CAC :P

Mm. Failing this will mean either damaging one of the vipers in space or destroying the AR in the reserves, though, and that's assuming Romo doesn't go early toaster on us. I'm still leaning towards tanking the check, I just don't think it's the slam-dunk you're making it out to be.

You're current player; you'll make the decision on which vipers get damaged, I believe.

Sure wish you were already standing on the Quorum Chamber, though. Oh well, let's do both.

##Movement: Discard Tactics-1 (Guts and Initiative) to move to Pegasus CIC
##Action: Play Leadership-6 (State of Emergency) on President Romo, PI

I intend to target the basestar in Alpha unless people strongly object.

Try to convince someone to just hang out with you on the Quorum Chamber, it almost worked for me with Ellen's static :v:

##Activate Pegasus CIC targeting basestar in Alpha

A strat plan would be nice so I can maybe avoid blowing myself up.

Yeah, it stinks that I won't be able to assign damage to Pegasus, but that isn't worth a fuel.

Pp top.

I assume I ought to shoot the basestar again if XOed?

Klades posted:

Based on the DEFCON rules we're employing, it might be prudent to shoot the undamaged one instead? Though we're still a few turns away from a jump.

Undamaged to damaged and damaged to destroyed are both worth 2 levels of defcon, and with critical hit out of the pool, CIC can't destroy an undamaged basestar in one shot.

# ¿ Jan 4, 2016 21:41

Max Peck: Oct 12, 2013; You know you're having a bad day when a Cylon ambush would improve it.

Oh, for some reason I thought that only applied to raider kills. Hm.

# ¿ Jan 4, 2016 22:47

Max Peck: Oct 12, 2013; You know you're having a bad day when a Cylon ambush would improve it.

I think I'd still rather hit the damaged one to have a better shot at cutting down on the possible nuke activations, but I'd listen to arguments for hitting Charlie instead. Especially if those arguments are backed by strat plans.

# ¿ Jan 4, 2016 22:53

Max Peck: Oct 12, 2013; You know you're having a bad day when a Cylon ambush would improve it.

Ehh, I guess I'd better listen to the CAG.

Pp discard tac 1 launch scout to move to Pegasus CIC, fire at basestar in Charlie

I'm not even in Sickbay anymore, quit trying to network the frakking computers :v:

I think in most cases I'd take the centurion over -1 jump prep anyway, so there's no real penalty for trying and failing. I could go either way on this one, though.

That'd at least be funny, though.

But yeah, while I'm willing to take one for the team, jumping is probably the better bet.

Alright, then lets jump.

While we wait for that to happen, let me see if I understood this correctly from previous games: a card with a Movement:-ability can only be played on your own turn, since XO-type cards just grant you actions, and not a proper Movement step. However, such actions can be used to move

You're close, and you have the important part: Movement abilities indeed can only be played during your Movement step which only happens on your turn. XOs give you a choice: "He may move his character and then take 1 action OR not move and take 2 actions." They aren't actions that can be used to move.

Unless you're in a viper (you can use an action to activate the viper you're piloting, and one of the things you can do with a viper activation is move the viper), but at that point I'm just going to :ffg:

and move on.

(BSG edit: in particular, if I were XOed but blew up CIC with my first action, I couldn't use the second action to get out of Sickbay--the only actions available to me would be those on skill and title cards.)

Afraid not; one activation is moving or shooting, not both, even for the MkVIIs. The viper being piloted or not doesn't make a difference.

If you find yourself wondering whether food is in fact ever an issue, I invite you to remember for example this game. Link goes to sleeper for reasons that will become rapidly apparent.

That said, food is probably the more reliable choice; I'd be a little annoyed if we hit one of the double-resource civs from this. :shrug:

Max Peck: Oct 12, 2013; You know you're having a bad day when a Cylon ambush would improve it.

CIC's damaged and I don't really want to use the other nuke if I can avoid it. Quorum cards are sounding like the best bet here.
