I don't have an SP though. I got a lot less cards being the first person to play.
As mentioned, I do! Whee! Only one player needs it. Actually, I think only one can play per check. Yes! Autojump good! No loss of civvies! I suppose in the future, if we need to quick jump, I might be the best to do that, with my dice re-roll ability and all. Hopefully we won't need to do that.
BSG
Sounds good. Hopefully Sean agrees and goes with the die roll. Still, that dice does tend to roll low, ask Apollo.
Which reminds me, he's going to get shot at again. Then it might be Starbuck's turn to be Toaster target practice.
BSG
She has some "Red Shirt Vipers", which get fired upon first. If anyone can, some orders to activate those RSV might be something to think about.
BSG
Since we have a SP available, and I can help with Apollo getting fired upon, I will go with the die roll.
Remember that jumping the fleet removes all Cylon ships/basestars from the map. Just whisks them away - zip!
BSG
As the voice of reason, we have 4 cylons vs 4 vipers out there. Let's not jump early and risk population this early on.
BSG
Well, there's no chance of jumping early this turn anyway as someone has to be in the FTL Control Room.
Worst case scenario this turn is Raider 1 takes out Apollo letting Raiders 2 & 3 enter Sector 4. If that happens I hope to get an XO on Starbuck but I'm only getting one card on my draw due to being in Sickbay so it's going to be close.
If the Raiders get another activation, we stand a good chance of moving again on the Jump track.
Edit: oh, pshaw. I mis-read my own copy of the board.
Never mind. Ignore all my advice, that was offered OOCly anyway.
BSG
If it's not too late to consider other options, I can help a lot on the skill check.
In MyBrute news - there's a tendency to list the pets - dog, wolf, bear - as good, better, best. I actually think that given the right circumstances the wolf is far better than the bear. Check this out from today's matches -

Laga, Sean said he's going with the die roll. Don't worry, plenty more skill checks to make before Kobol!
