I'm thinking those heavies are awfully close to boarding. What do we think Team Humans? Ake a shot at them?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Finally got a chance to play 5e last night (rather than the occasional one-shots/combat tests we've done before.) My Shield Master barbarian worked pretty well (raging gives you Advantage on Strength checks, which the shove manuever you can do with your shield counts as. Knock them down with Advantage in order to attack with Advantage.) and I got to punch the party fighter back to his senses when he got charmed by a harpy. (I placed myself bodily between the fighter and the door we could hear the singing from behind. He tried to rush past me, triggering an Opportunity Attack from me, which I used to slug him across the jaw. The damage triggered a new saving throw, which he passed.)

Sounds like the Basestar is actually easier to hit than a heavy raider.
Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

The basestar is more likely to cause problems, but two Heavy Raider activations would be TWO Centurions, which would be very bad indeed. And we haven't had very good luck with cards. Helo is in a good position to fire on them.

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

Orders from Hoshi:
Move to Weapons Control
Activate Weapons Control against the basestar
Play Strategic Planning 3
My diminutive assistant will make the roll.
Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Hit! And the damage is... Disabled Hangar! Lucky it already launched two raiders.
But it's not enough for the Dutiful Hoshi, who discards Scientific Research 3 to activate Weapons Control a second time! Everyone passes on interrupts. Once again your fate is in the hands of one legally too young to drink! That may not be such a bad thing.
Die roll: 8. Hit! This time it's Structural Damage.
Ryan's done a marvellous job there, so I'm passing the hat round for him. Hoshi's crisis card is:
Requisition for Demetrius Ryan
Admiral's Choice
Admiral Hoshi, when you're ready, please post your choice of present for Ryan.

Well that is not a fun Crisis. Looks like you really only have the one Option, and it's time for Pegasus to take another hit. Oof.

And no jump icon either. Ugg. At least the BaseStar is on its last legs. Sadly, not down enough to not fire a salvo off. I don't think we can afford one of us in the brig, unless we know s/he is the cylon.
OPTION 1. Pass on interrupts.
Fire on Pegasus.

Everyone passes on interrupts.
Die roll: 4. Fail! 2 Treachery are added to Destiny, which now contains 20 cards.
Finally, the basestar fires at Pegasus!
Die roll: 5. Hit! And it hits... Main Batteries!
That concludes Hoshi's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're reday, please post your move and action.
