All I know is, clearly someone besides TQ and myself should be Apollo.

I'm not actually sure what I'm in the mood for myself. Maybe Ellen?

If someone were to pick Cain I'd probably change her drawback to a different location for fairness. I'll have to think about what a decent fit would be - probably Communications, given her flavor.

Man, no fun at all. But I'm still amused by the idea of seeing just how terrible a ship we can have waiting for Helo.

They have to be cards from YOUR draw, actually. Max Peck will quote the exact rule/FAQ entry that says this at some point in the next hour or two.

EDIT: Nah, here you go:
Q: When Ellen Tigh draws her extra cards from her movement ability, do they have to come from her skill set?
A: (Core Rulebook, Page 12) Yes. Unless an ability explicitly says otherwise, you have to stay within your skill set.

I don't have a good workflow for doing this from my phone yet. Suggestions?

P.S. Do people want me to pause for things like this, even in scenarios where they would not make any meaningful difference to the results? I tend to do it regardless, but if people are ok with me fast-tracking that kind of thing you can let me know.

If you're absolutely, 100% certain it can't have any effect on the game state, then sure, skip past it. The problem is, you're dealing with a melange of FFG and homebrew rules, and it'll matter when you least expect it to :ffg:

I think this one would've been safe, though. Maybe. Probably.

Okay, as much as I'm enjoying Colonial One, maybe I ought to go shoot a lot of raiders and get some more vipers out as cover. Could I get an xo?

I don't suppose anyone has an At Any Cost? Or any reckless effect, really, but AAC would be amazing.

With my PIL gone, an XO would be better used having SN double-tap Command, I think.

Preloads are for PMs, either way.

You might also express opinions on whether we care most about jumping at -3 to avoid a second pair of cents boarding, or shooting the existing cents, or brigging Toshimo, or what.

Podima posted:

Only one Strategic Planning per roll, and Max Peck's came in first so you get to keep that one.

This is an interesting thing that doesn't often come up visibly in forum games, honestly. The tabletop timing rules (current player gets to choose who gets to play their card first) are kind of clunky for forum games (although still potentially necessary in some Reckless situations), especially when preloads are involved. (How do you deal with multiple "if no one else plays X, play mine" preloads, anyway?) In this particular case, though, I find it hard to care because everyone already knew that SN's is going to be used at some point for Armory shots anyway :v:

Well, at least this gives me the maximum amount of time to get an XO out of Sickbay. Unless we need me to stay in and drag Toshimo here still by the time my turn comes around again.

Can't blame Toshimo, Distance is out of /8 on the tracker.

Also why are you going to end up in Sickbay?

Remote Planet destroys a Raptor, which triggers my drawback.

To be clear, are we intentionally tanking this? I could do a lot, but I'm guessing those cards are better spent elsewhere. Especially if Arivia can make this turn even better :v:

Tanking this would leave us with just the two Mk 7s currently in space and the AR in the reserves. I'm okay with that short-term, but we maybe ought to take a wrench or two over to the Hangar Deck sometime later if we let it happen.

Are we willing to trade keeping our cards now for spending actions later?

Also we have two unmanned vipers sitting next to raiders and not a particularly strong CAG to give them piloting support. Those could go down very quickly.

This is very true, especially considering I just spent 2 evasives and am currently in sickbay.
