Can I fire on the base star and then move to the hangar deck?
No, the order is strictly move then action. If you wish to fire on the basestar you'll need to stay put. The damaged vipers are back at the Hangar Deck, so you have the option of moving there to repair them.
BSG
I think I should go repair the RSVs.
BSG
If that basestar spits out any more spawn, we will go from screwed to royally screwed. The rsv can take on the raiders. There is nothing to take on the mothership. I really think you should stay in weapons and fire on the big one in sector 5.
BSG
But we're also out of vipers. Anyone can fire on the base star, I'm the only one who draws repair cards.
BSG
that is a good point. But I think it's a matter of timing. If you don't fix the viper right now, it won't cause damage. But the mother ship can inflict MAJOR damage. Either firing on us, or spitting out more raiders.
brute news. God I hate the flail.

Laga, you're in the right place at the right time. The Basestar needs to be destroyed first. Except in unusual situations, the basestar ALWAYS needs to be destroyed first. It automatically generates more raiders if we clear all the raiders on the board.
The RSVs can wait until next turn to repair, and since you can take an extra action when you repair, you may find you repair 2, and can instantly repair another 2.

I have a sudden change of heart and
Fire on the base star.

I gotta go to work. I should be back around 11 to resolve my crisis card.
