Sympathetic Cylon and Vipers

By Rough2, in Battlestar Galactica

During our first pegasus game, we had a little question arise..

If a pilot becomes a sympathetic cylon, can he still launch in a viper if he's infiltrating? I assume he'd still be able to, but ya never know

I'm inclined to say no. The reason is that the Sympathetic Cylon doesn't have a skill set anymore (Peg rulebook pg 18) and only characters with Piloting in their skill set may pilot vipers.

At the very least, a case could be made that if you allow a pilot sympathetic cylon to jump into a viper, than you must allow *any* sympathetic cylon to jump into a viper. Once you're a cylon, your former character role is irrellevant.
