While playing as Lee, I entered an unmanned viper when it was launched by a card effect and not my turn. On my turn, I revealed myself as a cylon, resolved my reveal ability and went to the Resurrection Ship. What happens to the viper? Does it become unmanned or go to the reserves? Thanks.
Cylon Lee
Goes to reserves.
Clarified in the FAQ, p2 Cylon Players section, last question - any pilot revealing puts their viper in reserve
A neat little trick with Lee is to use your Free Action from jumping into the Viper to reveal yourself. Not only does it remove a viper from the board, but it also gives you a head start on being a cylon. And Lee is also the only character who can use his once-per-game ability and reveal in the same action (by launching an unmaned viper, jumping in, and then revealing). This, his skill set, and his order of succession for both President and Admiral make him perhaps the best character in the game
woow - this...is...eviiiil!
Thanks! Given that in 75% of our games I am a Cylon this is very useful!
Why would you want to use his OPG if you're a cylon? You'll be flooding the board with vipers which the humans could then use as shields or attackers.
I really like Lee, but can never bring myself to play him. His drawback of random discards sucks royally, especially if he ends up being the president or admiral and suddenly finds himself on the bad end of a lot of "current player and _____ discard cards." IMO it's one of the harshest drawbacks of the game (though it comes nowhere near Roslin's).
The smartest move with Cylon Lee's OPG is to take the vipers and move them to useless space. Nothing like having the vipers far away from the civilians ship, forcing the humans to move them with command or just hope that the civies don't get destroyed while their viper pilots on on some wild goose chase.

Depends where you put them. If the Vipers have been put up as a wall you can shift them away, you can take one out entirely by launching Lee in it. You can scatter a smaller number of vipers all over, which is how Raiders chew them up. However you disperse them it takes 3 Command activations to counter that activity at least, possibly more if the one Lee went out in was away from the launch tubes. Thats one person on Exec order plus a normal turn, or the second half of a second exec order.
Its disruptive, very disruptive if you do it at the right/wrong time.
Ah, I misremembered. I was thinking that he launches 6 vipers, not activates 6 of them.
It wouldnt surprise me if that is what the card says, but as with the Command space terminology changes that would have been FAQed/Errata'ed/clarified to activations if it is like that..
The card says "activate," it was only my memory that was screwy.

Love it. I wish this had occurred to me during the game!
