yes! my dice rolling mojo is back! Way back when I played Shadowrun I'd get dice rolls like that all the time.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Made all the more impressive by the fact that it used d6s.

I don't care much for either option. But given we need fuel to go anywhere, and it's low. I think option 2 is the less of two evils.

Problem is, if we get 2 3-fuel destinations we lose instantly.

That sounds like a good moment for some stats.
1. You're 1 Distance away from New Caprica, so any destination will get you there. (Even Misjump, technically, as you'll draw another one immediately.)
2. There are 34 destinations in total. Excluding Misjump (which costs 0 Fuel), Fuel costs are distributed thus:
4 Fuel: 1 card.
3 Fuel: 2 cards (though on one, the Admiral can make it 2).
2 Fuel: 7 cards.
1 Fuel: 20 cards. (Five of them allow a chance to gain 1 Fuel instead.)
0 Fuel: 3 cards. (One of them lets the Admiral choose to increase Fuel.)

Hmm. Looking at bt's info, it looks like we'd need to get exactly the right pair of cards to insta-lose. (And hasn't one of the 3-fuel already been used this game?)
What would be more likely (slightly) would be a choice between a 0-distance and a 3-Fuel. Which wouldn't be instant death, but our Resources probably couldn't take another jump cycle.
ETA: At this point, I'm much more worried about Morale and Population. But. Your call, madam President.

If you pull the Misjump, you draw a civvie and destroy it, then immediately draw a replacement destination and travel that distance. There's no way for you not to reach New Caprica on your next jump. (Well, technically one way - if you draw and pass Legendary Discovery, you'll reach NC before your next jump.)

There's no way for you not to reach New Caprica on your next jump.
But if we only have 3 Fuel, it's possible for us to lose as soon as we get there.
Nevertheless, I recommend AGAINST the Morale loss. We know for certain it's going to take hits on New Caprica, and we need Population.
