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

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

To be fair, four Cylon cards would've made the game a lot easier for two thirds of the players at least.

Can I give Helo an XO and also activate research lab in the same turn?

No, you get just the one action on your turn; playing an XO or activating the Research Lab each cost one action.

So it looks like I have the option of an XO on Helo so that he can fire on the base stars, or drawing a blue card in the hope that I get a repair card.
Any thoughts folks?
I'm leaning towards the XO.

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'm all for the XO. If we can potentially reduce the number of basestars pounding on us, we'll be better off and hopefully not have more parts of Galactica in need of repair.

The XO seems more immediately useful.
Regarding repair cards, I have some yellows so I can draw a few repairs when it comes around to me (I was trying to get some Quorum cards first in hopes of getting some resource renewal cards, but the deck seems stacked against that).
And... I've been thinking, if we're getting that desperate for repairs, we may just have to get Boomer out. She's still been helpful. You'd think if she was a Cylon she would have found a way to bust herself out by now.

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

Dudes! I have a repair card!
That said, I think firing on the crystals is the best idea. We are getting hammered with every activation. If we take much more damage, I'd say a nuke is in order, with or without raiders. But for now, XO so Weapons Control can be activated!

Mass Effect. Awesome. Beat it once as a "nice guy", going for "asshole".
Cool. I picked it up cheap (either $5 or $10, I forget) during a Steam sale awhile ago, but I haven't had time to play it. I think it will be sucking up my limited play time once I get done with DragonAge, probably no time soon.

move out and draw fire
I played a bunch of Dragon Age during the snowpocalypse. Every time I start it up, Mal asks if this is the time I fight the dragon.
I'm starting to worry a little bit, when he tells me what I need to do to kill undead, or bad people, or darkspawn. And I really worried at this exchange:
Mal: Wow, that's a lot of blood.
Me: Yes, yes it is.
Mal: What happened?
Me: I blew up.
Mal: Why'd you do that?
Me: Because I'm a rogue, trying to fight a level boss by myself.
Mal: You shouldn't do that. Only warriors can really fight by themselves. You should shoot arrows at it.
Me: I don't want to be a fighter. Fighters are boring.
Mal: But that's the only way to play these games. And you shouldn't explode anymore.
