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.

Note: You also lose 1 of your 4 raptors.

All right, I'm good with that. We'll see if your scenario actually works out as possible by the time we get there, Admiral, but for now I think I can reconcile with tanking.
I pass. I also play no interrupts.

I make it about a 1 in 6 chance of being doubly positive, which means a 5 in 6 chance of being no real help or worse. No regrets, soldier! We make our decisions best we can and we stand by them.

Of course, there's no telling what cards might have been played, but someone might want to have a hanky ready for Chief.
