Ouch. I'm guessing those top 3 are the 3 you wanted to keep, Baltar?

[Davio]

Our jump prep is now 3, right? 5 is auto jump?

[theorel]

Ouch. I'm guessing those top 3 are the 3 you wanted to keep, Baltar?

Yep, that hurts...

[Tables]

Our jump prep is now 3, right? 5 is auto jump?

Correct. This is the point where a jump attempt can be made from FTL control, risking 3 population.

[Grujah]

I can draw pol. Discarding does seem to have less negative impact, esp if you average value is less than 4. I think we can also deduce some destiny to see how friendly it will be.

[Qvist]

Ok, any ideas what I should do?
I'm planning to go to the Hangar and start a Viper.

[Jorbles]

That seems reasonable. You could also do something to try and get more cards?

(Sorry I was away this weekend guys, I would have said I could have helped with the potential Crisis skill check, but that my help would not necessarily have been enough.)

[WinterSpartan]

My preference would be for you to go to Command and activate it to launch a couple of vipers in sector 6, Boomer - just because that gets Apollo out of sickbay thanks to his ability and does a lot of good in space (it's as good as an XO in this case). You jumping in a viper is probably my second choice, but it's definitely a distant second.

With this PBF the (2003) TV series has been playing in my head as well. I keep trying to pinpoint why I loved it so much. Maybe because it was so ominous. You always knew there would eventually be some sort of happy ending, but it always felt like it was years away, never around the corner.

Cylon takeover of New Caprica was such an inevitable downer and it lasted for what seemed like an eternity.

[Grujah]

Ouch. I'm guessing those top 3 are the 3 you wanted to keep, Baltar?

Yep, that hurts...

Just saw  this, last post was on phone so I missed it.

Yeah, those were some monsters there, esp the 6.
Yeah, firing 2 vipers is way better than you firing yourself because it gets me out of sickbay, and I need to get on your turn or Jorbles's or I draw only card. And we get a pilot in the air in any case. (I am also the CAG, so i'm a bit more useful out there).

[Grujah]

only one card*.

To make it more clear- it's way better to activate command, launch a Mark II and Mark VII, that way we still get a pilot in air, I get out of sickbay and we get extra action due to my CAGness.

[Qvist]

just because that gets Apollo out of sickbay thanks to his ability

hm? I don't know what you are refering to, but it sounds good.

[Grujah]

My first ability says:
"Alert Viper Pilot -- When a Viper is placed in a space area from the Reserves, you may choose to pilot it and take 1 action. You may only do this when you are on a Galactica location, excluding the Brig."

So, if you go to command, and launch a Mark II and Mark VII, I can choose to pilot Mark VII and hence, get out of the Sickbay.
I can than use my CAG card to activate that one viper in sector 6 and escort a civie, and than move to 4.

You can move to 4 too, but than I stay in sickbay which is bad. (and we don't escort anything).

[Qvist]

Yeah. Makes sense. One thing I don't understand yet. Why a Mark II and a Mark VII and not 2 Mark VIIs or 2 Mark IIs?

[Grujah]

Yeah. Makes sense. One thing I don't understand yet. Why a Mark II and a Mark VII and not 2 Mark VIIs or 2 Mark IIs?

You want to leave one Mark VII in so you can launch in it, if needed.

[Grujah]

Mark VII is generally better than Mark II, to be clear.

[Qvist]

## Go to the Command and start a Mark II and a Mark VII viper

[Tables]

Where to? Which one first (yes this does matter)?

[Grujah]

Probably both are best at 5, methihnks.

[Qvist]

I can put them either at 5 or at 6, then 5 makes more sense, methinks too.
I don't know how order could matter though.

## Go to the Command and start a Mark II and a Mark VII viper (in this order) to space 5

[Tables]

Well strictly speaking, I should make you wait until you've launched the first before the second. It's mainly because Apollo could jump into the second, then reveal or other crazy stuff etc. etc.

[Qvist]

Sorry I'm trying to learn.

[Grujah]

##Use AVP to launch into Mark II and take another action
##Use CAG to activate unmanned in 6 and take another action
## move to 4
