Any opinion on the Chief getting an XO?
BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)
Sorry about that. Things are a bit crazy in this part of the world.
Um, yeah. Not sure about jumping early, with the possible population hit, unless someone has a SP to modify the roll. The raiders are far enough a way, that they won't do damage for a couple activations. Maybe I could use the XO to make an assault raptor?? I forget the process for that. Nothing to fix. So. Not sure what else needs doing.
If we, as a group, want to jump early, not sure I'm the best choice. I think it's good to have one of us over here in Pegasus, in case we want to activate a room over here. I'd hate to burn a card just to push the button one turn early, when we are not in immediate danger. I do understand, with the limited number of people, there are only so many players you can pick for an XO that won't get a double play.
OK, those are my rambly thoughts.

Hmmm. Well, Kat is out, obviously. I suppose El Prez could try the Quorum a couple times. I thought we'd talked about jumping on 4 since the longer distance we have to travel means more chances for Crises that whittle down our Resources.
Also, we've basically got five areas to cover(Galactica, Space, Colonial One, Pegasus, Demetrius) and only four players.
BSG (Romo)
Jumping early is not about avoiding the Raiders. It is a strategy to get to the end faster. Waiting for an auto-jump means more Crises and more resource loss, in addition to card loss. billytea specifically advised us to give it a try, and given that we have a longer distance to cover, I think we should.
BSG (Kat)
I am on board (literally) with jumping early. If I'm not in space on my turn I don't have to obey my weakness and move away from the civvies before the end of my turn.
BSG(Admirable Execution)
Well, we appear to have a majority. Chief, I realize what you do is up to you, but nevertheless I will Move to Tactical Plot to await an XO after we jump, and Play XO-2 on the Chief, and advise him to head back to Galactica and use his button-pushing finger to get us out of here.
BSG
Chief, 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.
BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)
I burn my newly acquired brown card, VO-4, and MOVE: to FTL.
My ACTION: is flex my finger, and push the big old button.
:: that was easy ::
Not THAT button, stupid Staples thing. The FTL Button!
BSG
Jumpage! There is 1 Population at risk. The die roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
Everyone passes on interrupts.
Die roll: 7. Pass! The entire fleet jumps safely. Destinations are going out to the Admiral now. Admiral Zarek, when you're ready, pleaes post your choice.
