Just started playing the game Sunday and a few questions cropped up:

Can Cylons (revealed or otherwise) and sympathisers pilot Vipers? Can they target civilian ships/other vipers/Galactica? (As it was, they were using "Evasive" to reroll when the Raiders missed their attack rolls - our Vipers dodged into the enemies bullets.)

Is there any way of forcing a Cylon to reveal themself? Our unrevealed Cylon president spent much of one game in the brig trashing us with quorum cards and bad "President Decides" decisions.

Thanks,

Richard C.

No, you can't force a Cylon reveal. This sort of situation is why you want to use the Administration location or Saul Tigh's Martial Law ability.

Revealed Cylons and sympathizers that went to the cylon team cannot pilot anything because they're stuck in their special corner of the board.

Unrevealed Cylons can pilot vipers, but they can't shoot down civvies. They can pull other shenanigans though, like playing evasive on other vipers after a miss or playing strategic planning (+2 card, name might be screwed up), getting themselves shot down, being a bad pilot. They can also use communications to move civvies into the line of fire of some raiders.

Administration! I was focusing so much on Galactica that I forgot Colonial 1. Ah well, first time playing...
