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.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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 were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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.

I forgot about the xo strategy- if ND has an XO he should play it... I could move to weapons.

I also think it would be a good idea for someone to get over to Pegasus. Being able to work the Engine Room in conjunction with Scouting Missions seems like it would work quite well. I'm happy to do that since I can use my FTL ability from anywhere. (I can, right?)

That is correct.
