Here are some ideas for Starbuck's turn. Starbuck - you know, Starbuck, you're just like the son I never had. Starbuck, if you activate the Hangar Deck to launch into Sector 5 or 6, you get a bonus action. If you draw Green, you could possibly give an XO. The only person I'd suggest for an XO (much as it pains me to say it) is the President. He's currently stuck in Sickbay; if he's still there at the start of his turn, he only gets one card instead of his usual draw. He could go to Communications and move some ships from S4 to S5 (so you can defend them better), or Command to order a couple of vipers around.

Alternatively, you could launch a scout to take a peek at the Crisis deck. We don't want any more attacks, and it'd be good to ensure we get a jump icon.

I'd suggest Sector 5, if you want to launch. We can move all the civvies into there and then you can guard them all at once.

Don't bother XOing me. You're not the boss of me! I'm the boss of you! I put it on my hat, it says "BOSS OF YOU". Plus, I'm stuck in the Admiral's Quarters, which I can't even use. It's not fair, they're my quarters! Instead I get everyone else tramping through here, and I can't even brig them. Bah.

Well, that's about it. Hugs!

It's nice to see you bonding.

Sorry for ducking out last night before sending the end-of-turn summary, but I realized that GMing on 3 martinis was probably not a good idea. (Let's just say it was lucky everything I posted and sent last night was set up in the morning.)

So, there's nothing to be done about this crisis, or am I missing something?

Sorry, I know how frustrating Helo's first turn can be. On the upside, you're almost rid of your negative ability while most others last the whole game.

Starbuck, please post whether you'd like to draw 1 blue or 1 green for your turn. Then I'll send your complete draw and you can post your move and action.

BSG

1 Green, please. I'm itching to get up in the air but I'm also scared of the next crisis. Would anyone else like to voice an opinion before I decide?

BSG

I think I'm happier with you up and at 'em, Starbuck. Just don't break anything. I'm clearly going to be busy enough as it is.

BSG

Yep, whatever you do for your bonus action, I think you should get out into space. It's where you're at your best.

BSG

OK, it says if I start my turn in a viper I get an extra action but if my action is to launch myself in a viper is that the end of my turn?

No. True, you don't get an extra action from your special ability this turn, because you don't start in a viper. However, the Hangar Deck action allows you to launch in a viper into Sector 5 or 6, and take a bonus action as well. So you could launch, and also play an XO or scout the Crisis Deck. Launching is a bit of a freebie like that.

BSG

Got it. I launch myself into section 5 and play a P1 to Scout the crisis deck.
