I trust me! But Cally has a better shot of doing something useful. I don't know how Main Batteries work on Scar, though. Does she still have to roll a natural 7+? I guess it's better than sending a Raider to do it.
The advantage of sending Vipers to protect the civvies is that I have a bad feeling about what Starbuck will do on her turn, and if she puts more ships on the board, it would be good to have the civvies protected. Then again, it would also be good not to have Scar around.
Or a Centurion.
Choices, choices.

I'm also thinking about launching more of the RSVs so that we have more in the air in case things get even crazier out here.
I could launch two more RSVs into Sector 5 and then move one into the sector with the civvies for more protection.

Using Main Batteries, you would still need to get a 7, but it needn't be a natural 7. (An SP or Calcs can make it easier.)
If you used Main Batteries on a sector with both Scar and a bunch of other raiders (not an issue right now of course), you can apply the results as works best; so on a 4-6, you didn't reach a 7 so you can't destroy Scar; you can use it to destroy two normal raiders. If you get 7-8, you can destroy 4 raiders, and as you got 7+, one of them can be Scar.
I could launch two more RSVs into Sector 5 and then move one into the sector with the civvies for more protection.
Remember, Command gives you two activations. Two launches and a move would equal three activations. You could launch one RSV and move it to Sector 4 if you wish.
BSG (Cain)
Right. Okay, so I could get one more raider on the board and into sector 4.
BSG (Cally)
I can get behind the launching of more birds.
BSG
Cally can get behind it. But can Cain? (Don't get
right
behind it, Cally. We'd hate to see one of the vipers' boosters burn you all up.)
BSG
Yes I want to put the additional bird in the air but I won't have a chance for a real post until after act 2 is done on my current show.
There's an app for that.
But it's only effective against green pigs in spaaaaaace
I may be a little loopy.
BSG
Bird sent to Sector 4.
Surely
this can't be a controversial decision. And yet, the Admiral finds herself accused of:
Divisive Behaviour
Skill Check (10 YGP)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Starbuck plays first, Cain last.
