With the Admiral choice out there, I'm not sure of the long term consequences of each to give good advice. I'd lean towards avoiding the combat, but that could be my own personal pacifist tendencies.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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

Given that, picking a viper pilot was an interesting choice. I may have to design some Skill Cards which offer a "Can't we all just get along?" action.

Ahem, Boomer is a RAPTOR pilot. IJS.

A raptor pilot who so far has done considerably more in the way of shooting and blowing stuff up than your CAG has managed.
Ok, I should amend that a little. I think you've both managed to blow up exactly one craft. You got a basestar, he got his own viper. That's sort of even.

We got through the last cylon encounter with no civilian losses. Would this be our first loss of morale?

You've lost 1 Morale previously in turn 1.5, with the Skill Check Cylon Screenings (intentionally failed). If you choose -1 Morale at this point, it will go from 9 to 8. (-2 Population will take you from 12 to 10.)

I think it's a toss up but if I had to choose I'd go for the fight.

Oh the slander! I am a War Hero! A WAR HERO, I say! And hero that I am, I sent the inexperienced rapture pilot (in case of teh combat this viper will be unmanned) to fight the enemy which doesn't fight back -- which you have to admit is a bonus in a combat situation.
Ahem. In any case, the CAG votes for the combat. The -1 morale can be recovered by the President through a quorum card. Population is a one way slide; it doesn't ever come back. Plus, what kind of leaders are we if we make an emergency jump every time we see cylons, leaving civilians behind to their doom?

Captain Apollo, you must understand that as the administrator of this game it would be deeply inappropriate of me to deride, mock or otherwise ridicule any of the players, until they are injured, brigged or otherwise in no position to fight back.
Two votes for the stoush, but there's only one vote that matters. Admiral Adama, what say you?
