Does one more jump prep put us out of danger of losing population?

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.

One more jump prep icon will see the fleet jump automatically at no risk of loss.

I agree, while loosing a straggler in the early jump would suck, I think the amount of damage and population loss waiting to get to auto jump would be worse. We are already halfway home, and have nominal population loss. I fixed the frakin' FTL, lets use it, and get the frell out of here!

My concern with killing Cylons at this point is that unless we can prevent both Basetstars from firing on Galactica, we could potentially lose FTL control and then not be able to jump until we hit auto-jump. Which could potentially kill off a lot more population (and lose more resources) than the 1 pop we're currently risking if we jump early.
We've still got 1 raider activation before we have to worry about losing ships (more if someone gets to communications and moves those civvies in sector 4) but the basestars have been pounding on us all game and I'm worried about us losing the option of jumping early if we need to. And there's way too many raiders currently in the air to think about trying to knock them all out, especially since we've only got one lowly RSV launched at the moment. With the way our luck is going, I could easily see us get two Crisises with raider activations with no jump prep in a row.
Maybe I'd feel a little better about the Quorom idea if I had a clue what is even possible with Quorom cards, but I unfortunately don't.

My concern with killing Cylons at this point is that it stops me blowing things up. Stop doing that!

Without commenting on what President Zarek may have in mind, I can advise that there is one Quorum card in the deck (with two copies thereof) that allows the destruction of 3 raiders, 1 heavy raider or 1 centurion. It carries a 25% risk of -1 Population.

President Zarek has heard your pleas, and is ready to save the Fleet! All he asks is a lifesize bronze statue of himself in Galactica's Command. I have COs:
Move to FTL Control (discard Y3)
Press the big red button
Pass on interrupts
The Fleet jumps! There's a die roll for Population loss which may be modified by an SP; everyone, please pass or play.

Sorry, I burned my only SP on the last crisis.

I used my U-verse refund to get charging station for my xbox controlers. And there was $15 left over, so I was looking for a cheap game. Somehow Dante Inferno ended up in my hands. Totally blew the budget. Doesn't bode well, as I just started playing Portal from the Orange Box last night. How did I miss that game? so simple, yet so addicting.

I have passes from everyone. Let's see if all the ships made it.
Die roll: 2. The fleet loses 1 Population (down to 10).
I have COs from the Admiral too, and you're in for a bumpy thrill-ride. Your new destination is:
Asteroid Field
You have now reached 8 Distance - one more jump and the humans win! But one ship is destroyed on entry. You lose another 1 Population. And you have the opportunity to lose another one! President Zarek's Crisis Card is:
Bomb Threat

President Zarek, when you're ready, please post your choice.
