Is the other option in our arsenal using Galactica itself to shoot at stuff? I`m not at my laptop right now. It is far far away, i.e, not on this couch in front of the fire.
Galactica has its own weapons, which are our best option against basestars but less efficient than vipers against raiders (one Weapnos Control action gets one shot, while one Command action can get two shots). I'm more worried about the five raiders than the basestar right now, though if we get another one, that could change.
BSG
Well, when I actually look at my cards rather than remembering them (wrong, as it turns out) I can't guarantee maximum ass-whuppage after all. Chief to Command is looking the better choice.
BSG
Okeedoke.
I play an XO-2 on the Chief.
Chief, you have the run of the ship.
BSG
Okay, I have a move and an action, right? So that means I have to move to Command and then launch an additional viper in sector 6 for the action? No actual shooting involved this turn. And then on Baltar's turn stuff might move toward the civvies, and on Helo's turn we'd attack with the vipers?
BSG
That's correct, although a single activation of Command lets you launch two vipers.
BSG
Ah. Ok. One in each launch sector then? Can I do that? Should I?
BSG
Ah. Ok. One in each launch sector then? Can I do that? Should I?
You can do that. The raiders will go to Sector 6 first, so you could put both new vipers there. Placing one in Sector 5 could come in handy if another attack card puts a basestar further back, though.
BSG
Ok. I
move to Command
and
activate it, launching two vipers into Sector 6.
I guess we can always move them later if we need to and they survive. Immediate threat first, I think.
BSG
And that threat is immediate. Someone has been up to no good--your water has been sabotaged and raiders are on their way.
Water Sabotaged (13YGP).
Details on the way.
BSG
I choose the skill check, and play an IC-4 as an interrupt.
Food's getting a bit low, I think we're better off spending the cards to pass this. The jump icon's a welcome sight too.
