Shame we lost that jump icon, but at least this one doesn't threaten any resources. I don't see us passing this. We'll just have to cope with the basestar the old-fashioned way -challenge it to a dance-off! We'll see which ship has the best dance crew.
Pass on interrupts, still.
BSG
Okay, this is a closed check for Cylon Tracking Device (10 PRB).
Destiny:
2 cards
Starbuck:
1 card
Chief:
1 card
Adama:
Baltar:
CO's in hand
Helo:
BSG
Given that I'm calling for tanking this check, does the Chief still want to play that card? (Do his orders predate my post?)
BSG
Oh, are we tanking? Yeah, the CO's preceded your post. Let me rescind my CO's and hear from Helo if he thinks we've any shot.

Well, I'm happy to take it back, but I feel obliged to say that while I saw that you called for tanking, there was no discussion of whether that was, in fact, the best course of action.
ETA: tanking x-post!
BSG
If we get a good bounce from destiny, we could pass, but if not, I think we're screwed. And if we try to pass, it'll limit what I can do for the rest of the round pretty severely. Tanking really sticks in my craw, though.
Argh.
BSG
Yeah, it'll limit me a bit, too, but my turn is still coming up after Starbuck's, so it's less a concern for me.
BSG
I think we should tank even if we could pass. It's just too expensive, and honestly one basestar and a couple of raiders isn't that threatening on their own. We pull a couple more attack cards and it all changes; but it's more likely we'll pull more skill checks.
I suggest that we tank this. Chief, on your turn you could move somewhere like Weapons Control or Comms and then XO Helo for more cards. On my turn I can then XO you. You can use your location, maybe Consolidate Power. By Doctor Ferret's turn, if the Crises aren't too bad, we'll have me in Command, you somewhere useful, and hopefully looking healthier on cards.
How does that sound?
BSG
So, yeah, we have Starbuck's turn to look forward to, either way. Which maybe we should save cards for.

one basestar and a couple of raiders isn't that threatening on their own.
Note: You also lose 1 of your 4 raptors.
