    Pretty simple, once per turn, even if you xo someone and they now have the CAG title, it is still your turn and you used the once per turn ability, that ability won't "refresh" til the token gets passed and the next player starts his turn. XO'ing someone doesn't give them a "turn", it just allows them to act on YOUR turn.

    I would love to have it just to have it, but I won't be switching from cards to digital anytime soon....call me a purist if you will. Regardless, I don't have an iPhone and have no intentions of ever switching to an iPhone so it looks like I'll have to wait and see if FFG will support a Droid version of this anytime soon. Which would make sense from a business standpoint since the Android OS covers so many phones on many differant carriers, unless of course FFG has some sort of deal with Apple.

    According to tim, activating all cylon ships of one type counts as an activation symbol of its type and thus can end up placing ships on the cylon fleet board and advancing the pursuit track

     

    Im assuming with this knowledge, a basestar needs to be on the gameboard to launch 2 raiders and 1 heavy raider since there is no specific activation symbol for this, thus not allowing you to use that part of the cylon fleet action with the cylon fleet board

    XO someone, command, launch 2 vipers, lee jumps in a viper.

    Someone else uses command, see above.

    Apollo uses command, launches 2 vipers, jumps in one and takes an action (quite possibly another unmanned viper activation if CAG)

    Now that there are no attack crisis cards when using the cylon fleet board, you can actually see when the cylons are coming, its not much of a surprise anymore, so the most viable option is that SOMEONE WILL use command to launch vipers, and that's when Lee + CAG will strike the hardest.

    It's not nerfed, its just a new way to play.

    Well, I finaly found a copy of Doom: The Board Game expansion set and I received an extra red cacodemon piece and am missing a red vagary piece...I just emailed FFG but I'm sure I wont receive a response til tomorrow, but if I cant get one from FFG, anyone willing to trade a red cacodemon for a red vagary?

    And no I dont want to return it, god knows how expensive this expansion will be later and I dont want to risk not finding another one anymore.

    I know it's a longshot, but I'm not giving up hope that I might still be getting a call today to pick this sucker up, I know they said late next week, but one can only pray that they were only compensating for holiday delivery times and that there still may be a chance to get this before christmas.

    I would tell them that first pick should be random so that everyone gets the chance to be who they want to be, for instance, I love playing as Apollo, but if I can't, then I can at least fall back on Adama or Agathon if I REALLY want to pilot something.

    They sound like a group I wouldnt like to play with if they insist on certain characters

    Depending on who is ordering it, some shipments i assume will make it to some stores in time (day before christmas eve), the hobby store near me said that if FFG had it at their warehouse today, chances are it will make their wednesday/thursday shipment. I'm crossing my fingers, I even put my name and number down so they call me if and when it comes in.

    Cant wait! we are having a thursday night party that will involve games and BSG, it would be a happy day to add Exodus to the mix.

    I actually just sent an email about this, cylon leaders and cylon sympathizers are treated as human when infiltrating but they cannot use their character specific abilities anymore as they are treated as revealed cylons in that regard. (except for Cylon leaders which begin the game with their specific abilities), therefore, no you cannot unless you are a cylon leader. (cavil, 6 or leoben)

    CAG hands down.

    Why? easy, I'm a huge fan of playing the Pilot, Apollo specificaly. Pilots will now be HUGELY responsible for not only keeping civilian ships safe and have a better ability to do so (communications / pilot cooperation is going to be very important ) not only that but I think there is going to be more opportunities for the cylons to cause damage to galactica and preventing heavy raiders from boarding, the CAG plays a big role in every game now, because they are the first line of defense against pretty much every win condition for the cylons and now there will be more for the CAG to do. Not only that, but piloting cards will now no longer be as useless as they were after the first jump (when the likelihood of a bunch of cylons hitting the board were not as great).

    I cant wait for exodus, this thing needs to be released yesterday

    The doom etched dice are feasable since there are no distinct markings, pictures, doom logo or anything that resembles id's intellectual property on them, though i would assume this would be something that they would have to relable as something generic to be able to sell them, unfortunately though, if id wanted to be jackasses they could still potentially have a case that they are selling components to a licensed game without the license.

    I just realized earlier in the week Minnesota got hammered with some snow, hopefuly this won't be delaying any shipments to your warehouse!

    Forget the piracy idea, I'll be going into the snow plowing business, I'll plow they way for the trucks to the warehouse.

    So according to the website this expansion is already on the boat....is it bad that I want to hijack this boat and distribute it to all the sellers myself to try and et it out faster? I promise all proceeds will be returned to FFG, I just want this thing now. Regular game night is now filled with intense anticipation over this product.

    As a huge Apollo fan/player, the CAG is probably my most favorite addition to this game (along with Samuel T. Anders as a pilot in case I want to change up my piloting a bit) but not only that, but the Cylon fleet option? I'll be guaranteed to be busy keeping civilian ships in order and strategicaly maneuvering vipers to protect them (or strategicaly placing them so that the cylon fleet can come in and wipe up in one foul swoop as a cylon).

    So far, this is shaping up to be an AWESOME expansion. Viper pilots will no longer be bored for half the game!

    I bet they have a top secret project in the works....building up anticipation and then BAM! super awesome expansion released and BSG becomes bestest selling board game ever....or I just have high hopes, or the FFG staff have been infiltrated by cylons.

    They really don't need to add any more mechanics ( aka New Caprica), additional characters, perhaps 2 new skill card "actions" per type with an extra reckless ability per card type would be sufficient, more crisis cards, more super crisis cards, more "you are a cylon" action cards that can do various things (only 2 or so really could be added), maybe even a special expansion that has painted cylon, viper and raptor ships would be cool (or at least more detailed). I guess maybe even a mini expansion incorporating some of these elements:

     

    more characters

    more skill card actions + 1 extra reckless ability

    more crises cards + super crises cards to reflect the things that happened in the 3rd and 4th season.

     

    Just that in itself would be a pretty good package and I would pick something like that up in a heartbeat.

    I sure do hope Konieczka reads the forums, his game is wonderful and I'd like to see this game have a longer shelf life for people. I hear some people say that after a while the game gets boring and repetitive but I know I'm not in that minority sad.gif
