unfortunately my using an XO to destroy a centurion with my Hotshot abuility was theoretical. At the moment I lack the right card.

You also lack the right timing. It only works on your own Action phase, not someone else's.
BSG
Tigh, do you have any other Quorum cards that can help against the Centurions? There is no point in jumping early now. We have to take out the Centurions. If we don't take out at least the first one by Cally's turn, we lose. And if we don't take out the other one by Tory's turn, we lose.
If you don't have anything that can help, I'm just going to have to try to kill one myself, and I can be in the Armoury for Kat to XO me to try twice.
Oh, would you be able to Hotshot one or both of my attempts, if that happened? That could be badass if you drew the right cards.
BSG
OK yeah, so if I XO you on
my
action phase I can use the hotshot. I will sure try but it depends on my card draw.

Actually, I'm afraid this wouldn't work either. Your ability specifies that it works when you make a roll, not when anyone else does. It would have to be you taking the shot.
BSG
DAMMIT. Well, if you do get a card that would guarantee a hit, then it would be best to do that; otherwise, I can take two hits.
I suspect Tigh has no cards that can help, or else he would have said something when I suggested jumping, but I want to wait for his input in case he was holding back information for Tory's sake.
BSG
Nope, the Quorum is not being helpful with Centurion killing. Short-sighted bureaucrats. I can help you with strategy for the complicated plan of "aim at that centurion and try to hit it".
BSG
Hey, that's two whole steps! What if you get them in the wrong order? What then?
BSG
That's why I am standing by with strategy honed by my years in the military! Bill woulda wanted me to help the boy. Hey, Lee, have I ever told you you're like the son I never had?
