If I have a pilot and want to launch and all the vipers have already been deployed (or damaged). Can you pull one off the board and use it to launch your character?
I thought I had read that, but I can find were it is written and others in the group are asking for it in writing.
Their point is that Vipers are a resource that needs to be managed, so it all your vipers are launched unmanned then you can't use your pilot.
I think that you should still be able to launch a viper (as long as they aren't damaged or destroyed) as most of the vipers are put on the board by crisis cards and not by choice.
