I'm all for jumping early for a potential -1 pop loss, even without Helo's re-roll or an SP. At this point the less crisis cards we see, the better.
I'd honestly say a SP with a value of 4 or 5 is better held onto for play in a skill check. We're all really low on cards and with the Cylons back-to-back, we could lose in short order.

Ambush info has been sent. As there is nothing to resolve, just a lot of crap in the air, it takes us to the end of the Boomer turn.

In that case, I'd say Zarek (if possible) should XO Tigh to move to FTL and jump with no interrupts.
BSG
Of course, if Zarek has a Quorum card that affects destination card choices, we might want to wait the extra turn.
BSG
I'm all for jumping early.
Does the Admiral choose between three destination cards?
BSG
The Admiral chooses between 2 cards. There is a quorum card that you could play that has another player choose between 3, but if you don't have that one, I'd say jump early and take our chances. Also that will get Tigh out of sickbay.
BSG
It says, "choose specialist"... may I choose myself?
BSG
Intriguing. I checked the card in my set and it says to give it to "any other player." Unless there is another card I haven't thought of, I'd say that since it's not an action it doesn't really matter who you give it to, but, to stick to the letter of the card, I'd choose either Chief or me.
I'm happy with either waiting to jump or not, but I'd like to have the other two (humans) weigh in on the options.
BSG
but I'd like to have the other two (humans) weigh in on the options.
agreed.

and I doubt we'll be hearing from them after midnight on a Sunday. I have a busy day tomorrow but I'll try to check in frequently so we can reach a consensus before I decide what to do on my turn.
