Okay folks, looks like we are starting. What do folks think the first move to preserve the human race should be? I can activate comms since I'm already here and check out what we have out there with our civvies, or I could move to weapons control and take a shot at the toasters out there.
You could all die miserably in a flaming heap and the universe could be taken over by robots?

I believe the robots are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way...

Hee. I meant that as an answer to billytea`s rhetorical, not as a suggestion for humanity`s first action. But it does read amusingly that way.

Excellent. This time we find out we are cylons because we hear the voice of Michael Jackson in our heads.

Am I reading it right that the raiders need three activations before the civvies are in danger? In that case I would be in favor of Dee moving to Weapons Control.

You'll know you've been a bad Cylon if you hear "Ben".

While I think of it, note that your starting resources are lower than normal (8/7/9/10). This is because we are playing the No Sympathiser variant. There will be no Sympathiser in this game; to offset the advantage this gives the humans, you start with lower resources, and revealed Cylons draw three cards on their turn instead of two.

And with only 2 Civ ships in peril, Dee's superpower doesn't make a difference right now. So shooting could be good.
BSG
Shooting at the Basestar probably is probably our best option right now.
I was going to suggest someone could XO me to get airborne so I could shoot a raider right away (Action to launch into Sector 6, Bonus Action for Launching to move into Sector 1, Second action from XO to shoot at Raiders) and then take advantage of my super pilot dual action ability to hopefully mop up the rest when it gets to my turn.
However, looking at our crew roster, the only folks likely to have an XO who will actually get to act this round (Sorry, Admiral Castaway), are Dee and Mr. Gaeta. Considering I don't really want to be floating out there with the raiders taking potshots at me through everyone else's turn and Gaeta goes right before me--which is a big no-no when we don't know who's a toaster right now--that's probably not such a great plan right at the moment.
Which is a shame, because I'm itching to shoot stuff.
