BSG 31 - Islanded in a Stream of Stars

[Kingepyon]

CRISIS: Detector Sabotage

Skill check: LEA/TAC = 8
PASS: No Effect
FAIL: All characters in the Research Lab are moved to Sickbay. Until the end of the game, no players may look at other players' Loyalty Cards.

POST CRISIS: Activate Heavies, +1 Jump Prep

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

That was a timely fix to the armory seeing as we'll get an unwanted guest now.

As for the check itself, the second part of the fail effect is the only thing that is slightly annoying as it would remove Baltar's OPG power. As we don't have any overt second Cylon around that ability would be useful to have around.

 

[TheArchduke]

I am a bit low on cards for this,although I would like to make this.

 

[glasszon]

I don't think it is worth going for this skill check for the following reasons:

If there's no second Cylon - then the fail effect means nothing anyway

If there's a second Cylon - they probably would be tempted to spike this, unless you can get 1 or 2 person to solo it without others contribution.

Action Queue:
=> glasszon add card to check or draw mutiny
=> TNT turn

 

[glasszon]

This is annoying, let's pass it with TNT's DE then:

Play Tactics-5 (A Second Chance) into the skill check, just enough for TNT's DE to pass it.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

play DE-3 to pass the check

On my turn:
move to FTL control and activate it
play SP - 3 and use the re-roll if necessary to avoid the pop loss
(AR stays out)

For the few next turns we should activate the Armory as often as possible (as usual XO is your friend to allow us twice the amount of rolls) but also activate Command once (to launch a viper and escort away the civvie I am going to have to place).

 

[Kingepyon]

Roll is an 8+2 - no pop loss

destinations sent

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

It is not completely ideal but we are almost there:

Desolate Moon

Distance 3
Lose 3 Fuel.

BTW I can get us fuel back with an XO.

 

[Kingepyon]

CRISIS: Earth in Ruins

Current Player Chooses:
Skill check: POL/LEA/TAC = 9
PASS: -1 Morale
FAIL: -2 Morale

OR

-1 Food and the current player draws 1 Mutiny Card

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 JUMP PREP

 

[glasszon]

I suggest the OR, passing a skill check for the privilege to lose a morale isn't exactly a winning combination.

 

[Dexander]

I suggest the OR, passing a skill check for the privilege to lose a morale isn't exactly a winning combination.

Agreed.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

At least it has jump prep - but that may be the only useful thing about that crisis.

Take OR

discard
Tactics-1 (Launch Scout)
Tactics-0 (Trust Instincts)
Leadership-1 (Executive Order)

place civvie in FOXTROT

 

[Kingepyon]

-1 food and TNT draws a mutiny card
Raiders Activate roll is a 3 pursuit track increased by 1, civvie added to foxtrot
+1 jump prep
TheArchduke draws 2 pol, 2 lea, 1 tac
After first lea drawn, lea deck reshuffled
