omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I know a damaged location can't be activated, so none of the players can launch themselves in vipers, but can we still (as illogical as it sounds) use command to launch RSVs
With no raiders in the air, we are better served shooting at those crystals with Galactica, not a viper. Viper needs a perfect roll, if memory serves correct, to score a hit. Only launch vipers when there are raiders near civvies.

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

Yep, Command is still open for business.

That's not panic, that's CAG presenting options to the group.

Yes, in a surprisingly loud and high-pitched voice.

I'd rather reserve the nuke launch. If I can use it and take out a few Raiders at the same time then I think it might be worthwhile.
I agree. I think Weapons Control is the best option right now.

That's thanks to Starbuck. Whew, that girl is wild.

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.

I agree. I just wanted to know how frakked we are if those basestars do launch raiders. And it appears we're only half-frakked. But shooting at the basestars, either from Weapons Control, or with a nuke, is definitely our best option right now.

move out and draw fire

Lego Star Wars is on my Do Not Like list too. Lego Indiana Jones is way better.

We took LSW out of rotation, because as a game it's just "smash stuff into bits" for problem-solving. Although Mal and I did giggle ourselves into fits: we both became Jar-Jar and then threw ourselves off a cliff, over and over and over and over.

I'm going to draw two more Quorum cards.

Not BSG

I have Lego Batman for the DS. That thing is awesome. Trying to unlock the Huntress.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm looking forward to Lego Harry Potter though I doubt I'll be able to afford it.

Quorum Cards have been sent. Meanwhile, the fleet seems to be a bit ticked that they're under attack for the third jump in a row. You have:

Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Don't you just hate it when some visionary upstart starts a kerfuffle amongst the civilians?

Laga--they should have some cool stuff in that, indeed. Wait till the price drops, or ask for gift cards.
