That's a vote to TANK from everyone. Everyone passes; Destiny reveals:
Run Interference 3
Special Destiny 2
Tally: 0 - 5 = -5. Fail! Morale falls by 1, and Starbuck checks Admiral Tigh's loyalty card.
Finally, there's a raider activation. With no raiders on the board, two new ones launch from the basestar. That concludes Starbuck's turn. Tigh's cards are going out. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

With the basestar weakened, it may be a good idea to go ahead and take it out with Weapons Control.

or an XO to a pilot?
BSG (Starbuck the System)
Nice to know for sure you are human, sir. I can only be an ordinarily effective pilot for a while, but I wouldn't mind shooting at these raiders. OTOH, if we can take out the basestar now we might have fewer raiders to shoot at in the future. Really depends on the upcoming crisis what's better, so whatever you feel like is okay with me.
BSG (Dee-fense)
OTOH, if we can take out the basestar now we might have fewer raiders to shoot at in the future.
Exactly. We didn't get a jump icon, so who knows how long we'll be here? No sense shooting down Raiders if the basestar will just spit more out. Kill the source.
BSG (Cally-fornia Girl)
I say take a chance on the basestar!
BSG (Tigh one on)
I move to Weapons Control and FIRE on the base star. But wait, there's more! I have a plan! I play SP-3.

The Admiral fires at the basestar:
Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Hit! The basestar is destroyed!
Well, someone's had his Weetbix. Or did he get some help with that shot? Tigh's crisis is:

Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I can only help a tiny bit with that skill check. Maybe take the Morale hit if we don't want to risk it?
