I've heard from Starbuck, and the result stands. 1 RSV damaged. Final roll:
Raider 4: 4. Miss.
Finally, the jump prep track advances. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Starbuck has opted to draw Green for her optional card draw. As Starbuck begins her turn in space, she may move and take two actions. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your orders.

Dee, I am giving you the title of Most Valuable Cylon. Weeeeeell played.
BSG
Wow, that was disastrous.
BSG
No XO draw, again.
Okay, let's clear the skies a bit. I play Maximum Firepower 3 to shoot the Raiders in Sector 6. I'll hold my second action until I see the results of the first.
Pass on interrupts.
BSG
Starbuck opens fire!
Attack 1: 1. Miss.
Attack 2: 7. Hit!
Attack 3: 6. Hit!
Attack 1: 7. Hit!
Expert pilot is expert. 3 raiders down, 2 remaining. What would you like to do for your second action?
BSG
I will fire on one of the remaining raiders in my sector.
BSG
But which one? Will the dilemma shake the nerve of Galactica's best pilot?
Attack = 5. Hit!
Apparently not. After such an impressive display of prowess in the midst of a desperate struggle for their lives, naturally your Crisis is:
Forced Water Mining
Current Player's Choice
...Ok, the hell? Is -- Is Starbuck refusing to fight, Achilles-style, until she's assured of her supply of bottled sparkling water? Only one woman knows for sure. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
If we go for the check I can help a lot but it would leave me with very few cards.
BSG
I can help a lot with the Skill Check. What do the rest of you think?
ETA: I'm also leaning towards the Skill check because otherwise I have to discard 4 cards anyway.
