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

So what are the options for firing on the basestars? I didn't think vipers were that great against them. We don't have anyone in weapons control.

You're reading it right (and one of my fondest memories from running the game is watching Random McApollo convincing Boomer to take her lone viper up against a basestar and use two Max Firepowers on it). We have these options for hitting basestars:

1. Weapons Control. Hits on 5+.

2. A viper. Hits only on 8+, so not very likely.

3. The Admiral can fire a nuke. Results:
1-2: Damage the basestar twice. (One token does double damage, so there's still a 50% chance of causing 3 damage and destroying it.)
3-6: Destroy the basestar.
7+: Destroy the basestar, and up to 3 raiders in the same sector.

Pity we only get two of them, huh?

Oh, and finally: Pass on interrupts.

Boomer: Pass

I had not yet sent in any COs. Now, I have decided to pass, but I hadn't actually said that yet.

If the basestars start launching a ton of stuff, consider XOing me to launch a nuke. I don't want to waste them, but they are an option.

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

Do I want to use my last card to aid this roll?

OK, I think that's everyone passing on interrupt for this scouting mission.

The roll of the die comes up with: 4! Details of the tip crisis card to be sent to Apollo shortly.
