Can Apollo only use his ability on his own turn?

Can Apollo only use his ability on his own turn?

No, he can use it whenever he plays an XO; however, in order to use it on someone else's turn, he would need to find a way to play an XO. He can't be XO'd to do it, as you can only have one XO per turn. Old Apollo could get a free action on someone else's turn with AVP, but of course Old Apollo can't use Newpollo's ability.

One way at least that I know of for this to work is if someone plays the State of Emergency-6. That gives everyone a move or an action, and doesn't count as an XO. Apollo could use his action to XO someone and then activate his own location too, as long as no one else plays an XO first.

A quick wrap-up of the other players:

Leoben can only use his ability on his own turn, as it takes up his Movement phase, which only occurs on one's own turn.

Baltarnate can use his ability whenever he has an action and another player in his location to steal from. I think he could even use it twice in a turn on an XO or such like.

Hoshi can only use his ability on his own turn.

New Helo can use his ability whenever he plays a Launch Scout. He could use it more than once in a turn if he scouted twice on an XO.

Cottle, likewise, can use his ability whenever he has an action, and can use it twice on an XO, as he did last turn.

My mistake- I was thinking of Oldpollo's AVP ability.

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Hoshi can only use his ability on his own turn.

I think an XO to Hoshi would be a good idea. He could launch a nuke and move some civvies around.

BSG (Apollo)

I'm not sure we should be dropping nukes this early, although we may be able to make more. I think Helo does need to get into Sector 5, stat, at least. I could also help with offense on an XO.

BSG (Helo)

Let's see if I can clear the skies a bit.

I'm going to move to Hanger Deck and launch into Sector 5 and then I'm going to play Maximum Firepower for the extra shots.

BSG

Helo, did you launch in a viper or in the assault raptor?

The answer doesn't affect the shots at the raiders, so let's roll:

Fire 1: 4. Hit!
Fire 2: 1. Miss.
Fire 3: 7. Hit!
Fire 4: 4. Hit!

Helo clears Sector 5 of raiders, making it safe for puppies everywhere! As long as they don't need oxygen, I guess. Or heat. He sends a message back to Galactica, saying, "Better rethink that monotheism, Gaius, because apparently, I am a sexy shoeless god of war." The news threatens a schism among Baltarnate's Pastafarians! Helo's crisis card is:

Religious Turmoil

I could help with the check or the die roll.

BSG(Dr Noodles)

I can help with the check a little.
