BATTLESTAR GALACTICA PLAY-BY-FORUM--SESSION 1

"We - er, I have run the analysis again and I highly recommend Starbuck looking at getting to Communications and giving those civvies her knowledge of where to move to in a hurry with her two actions."
"I can arrange for Command to send some other vipers after that big raider that is closing on us - and if I can get into the Admirals ear (depending on how my leadership skills shape up on my turn) he may make a better job at directing those vipers than me ... either way we will get at least two passes at it in my turn, hopefully with a bit of strategic planning to assist in the accuracy."

Commander Tigh: "I hate to agree with Baltar again but his plan actually has a chance to work. Starbuck, do not attack Bravo Sector it's a suicide trap. I repeat do not acttack Bravo sector. We need you in commucations now. We need you to move the Civies from Delta to Echo sector"

Starbuck: Starbuck to Galactica, you want me to return home to man the Comm station?

Tigh: Galactica Actual, that's what I said Starbuck, and don't gimme any more of your crap today. You are to return home immediately, copy?

Starbuck: Just to remind you sir I'm a frakkin' PILOT not a Comm officer, why can't Dee or Gaeta contact the Civilian fleets?

Tigh: Cuz half of CIC is down with some kinda Swine flu and also cuz I gave you a GODSDAMN ORDER!!!

Starbuck: FRAKK!..... Acknowledge, returning to Galactica.




Starbuck will discard a card after receiving new hand from moderator (on Monday) and go to Communications.

On second thoughts, I'm gonna see what cards I get, then make my decision.

Starbuck(to herself): The flu! I'm frakkin full of holes but I'm back in the air doin' my frakkin' job!...I gotta think this through.

Remember you get two actions no matter where you move to because you started in a viper - so you can move up to four civvies. Take this as an I.O.U for an Exec Order next time you're near/in a swarm of raiders and it's my turn (especially helpful since I follow you).

rule: I am not sure I understand what is happening with Starbuck currently. I thought she was in Sickbay. So the Executive order would allow her to move to "somewhere" and do "one thing". I am not sure where this double action is coming from. Help understanding please.

Tigh gave me an XO on his turn, it's now my turn, my special ability is:

Expert Pilot -- When you start your turn piloting a Viper, you may take 2 Actions during your Action Step (instead of 1).

The past few posts are in regards to how I should use them.

I agree good Dr...but I am confused by the "start your turn in a viper". I thought Tigh gave you the XO while you were in Sickbay. Or did I miss something?

Tigh XO'd her out of SickBay into a Viper on his Turn. It is now Starbucks's turn and as she is starting it in a viper she gets two actions (no matter where she moves to).

Note: Starbuck's ability can only be used on her turn, thus she can't use it if someone XOs her on their turn (trying to give her three actions).

Thank you all for the help. I should have figured that out from the spreadsheet..and the "Ill wait for my cards before deciding" comment Getting this clearer every post!

Turn 5


"Are you SERIOUS?" said Apollo, once the hail from Galactica had finished. "Go back and operate the COMM? Well, I guess the Admiral figures you've got the logistics skills...and a hot temper if those civvies don't fall in line."

"Watch it Apollo, or you'll find out more about my hot temper than you'd like to."

"I consider that a date, Lieutenant."
