A little question about activating viper

By Opeth2, in Battlestar Galactica

Hi there, first topic here.

So, I just noticed that theres no limit to the the number of times an unmanned viper can be activate per turn. So what is the point on it? Can I take my unmanned viper and so attack a Cylon Basestar until its destroyed? Or maybe just clean up all Cylon vipers? Is it not unfair?

Just got little confused. Maybe I just didnt get it right.

Thank you guys!

Anything that lets you activate a viper (like a special ability or a space on Galactica) only let's you activate the number of times it says. For instance "Activate 2 unmanned vipers" means you can give one viper two activations, or two vipers one activation each.

Are you sure? Cause in Errata published on 4-20-09 its said:

Q: Can a player use the "Command" location to launch a viper and then move or attack with the same viper?
A: Yes. There is no limit to the number of times an unmanned viper may be activated per turn.

It just gets me confused since if theres a limite, they should answered "Yes, but you are limited to activate a nunmanned viper the number of times your action or location says"

Any idea?

The statement is correct:

"There is no limit to the number of times an unmanned viper may be activated per turn."

However, you are reading it incorrectly. Nothing in the game allows you to activate vipers unlimited times, Command location lets you activate vipers twice and Lee "Apollo" Adama's CAG action let's you activate vipers six times.

To explain it another way, what the statement does allow you to do is to play Executive Order on Lee "Apollo" Adama when he is in Command, granting him two actions, the first of which he can use to active vipers twice and the second he can use to perform his once per game ability. The rule is there to permit you to select the same viper for each of those activations. Have it circle galactica and fire once if you really want it to. Or launch two vipers and have each fire three times.

Ah, thanks man!
