Yeah, it's definitely a lose-lose...almost as if the game were designed that way...
But the point is valid, a 2 pop hit is a significant hit, and all the metal out there is only a potential hit. So I could be swayed. But it's early in the game and of course now all our resources are high, so it's going to be hard to make a call.

Two basestars will also mean double the basestar activations when they start shooting at us and launching Raiders. This early in the jump cycle, I wouldn't want to add more ships to the board when we could get a bona fide Attack card at any time.
That being said, it does all depend on the cards. Lose-lose, like you said.
BSG (Admiral Bossypants)
I lean towards the population hit.
Ellen, stop stealing the covers.

I don't know what to tell you guys, but it's pretty lonely out here. But I'd kind of like to not have more company of the shooting-at-me kind.

Technically, your new company would be more civvies, who probably won't start shooting at you.

I choose Option 1

Why you have to spoil all my fun? Ok kids, when the Admiral told you to have everything packed in time or he'd go without you, he wasn't kidding around. Population drops by 2. Fortunately, no one liked them anyway, so Morale is just fine.
Finally, both the raiders and the jump track get moving. That concludes Boomer's turn. Ellen's cards are going out. Ellen, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Well, well, let's see. Here I am in the Admiral's Quarters with the Admiral himself, and I can't order anyone around! Let's see if we can't fix that.
I will stay in bed and pass Adama a skill card to draw 2 Green.
