Well, increasing morale and food is always good, but we've gone through the food cards. Most other cards deal with loyalty, the Brig, and the Adminstration. I just don't think that's our priority now that the cylons have been revealed.
Plus, I believe there are a few outstanding things which may shift the Presidency yet again. In which case, I'd suggest sending it back to Zarek.
Let's hope we get there before then.

Tigh has been sent his card draw. (sorry about the delay, totally slipped my mind before going to the wedding this afternoon).
BSG
One thing to keep in mind is the same viper can be activated twice from Command, so if Tigh doesn't have an XO, he could activate the RSV in Sector 5 twice to try to wittle down the raiders there.
BSG
I will stay in Command in case more vipers need to be activated later.
I play a G1 to XO Chief. Congratulations, Mr. President, your first duty as our Chief Executive is to kak some Cylons. Whether that's just activating those big guns you're standing next to or using your newfound power with the Quorum, or both! So be it.

I wasn't sure about that since it says you "can activate up to 2 unmanned vipers," not you can activate 1 viper twice.
I have defense against the raiders in my sector for the moment, which is why I'd rather get rid of the heavy raider first (plus you need a 7-8 to kill a raider and using an ABF quorum card you are guaranteed to get it).

It's pretty poorly written, I think. The FAQ makes it clear that you can activate the same viper multiple times. (This applies to Apollo's CAG ability too.)
BSG
I understand the concern with the heavy raider, but again, it would need to be activated twice to board, and then 4 more times before we lose. My turn or an XO is bound to come up before it gets activated that many times, even if the toasters decide to both spend their turns activating it.
I'd rather not use up a quorum card on a potential threat (heavy raider) when it works just as well against the actual threat (cylon boarder).
I will stay put and Activate Weapons Control to fire twice at the Basestar in Sector 3. Should the first shot destroy it, I will fire on the Basestar in Sector 2.
BSG
Excellent. Firing on a basestar involves a die roll. Does anyone wish to play a Strategic Planning Purple 3-5 card to increase the roll by 2?
