Well, my fellow Galacticans, what should we be trying to accomplish?
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

How close are we to having a boarding party? That can be a fast way to end the game.
And how far away are we from Sleeper phase?

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

How close are we to having a boarding party? That can be a fast way to end the game.There's a heavy raider in Sector 6. It will board on the next heavy raider activation. (About 20% of crisis cards have one. There are another two on the CFB, also in Sector 6. They will jump in if/when the pursuit track reaches the end, and will be able to board on a heavy raider activation thereafter.
And how far away are we from Sleeper phase?
You reach Sleeper Phase at Distance 4, which you will reach either on your next jump (if it's 2 distance or more) or the jump after that (if it's only 1 distance).

You want to bring out some more vipers, Dad? Maybe take a shot at that Heavy?
Once the Cylons jump in, I've got some offensive juice to hit them with, just y'all know.

I just wanted to assure you all that the phrase "offensive juice" will be sure to get a mention the next time you turn up a Water Shortage.

That's a relief. I'd hate for such an evocative phrase to go to waste.

(which I typed Admama several times before getting it right)
Yeah, son I think getting more ships in space (birds in the air, what is the BSG phrasing) and going after the heavy is a good idea.

OK, I'm going to go ahead and move to Sector 4 with my true love Civvie B, use my CAG powers to have that Mark II in Sector 6 escort Civvie A home (again! How many times can I escort Civvie A (whether or not they are all the same ship) and use my bonus action from that to XO-2 Admiral William Adama.
That should give you 4 viper activations, Dad, use them wisely. Maybe a couple of launches and a couple of shots on the Heavy? Whatever feels right to you. Mark VIIs will give us the most flexibility down the road, of course.

What, no one's going to thank me for not just activating the Heavy Raider and getting you boarded?? Ungrateful little meatsacks!

Admiral Adama, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
