So the new FAQ says that when placing a viper via command (and presumably the hanger deck) lee gets to use Alert Viper Pilot (not just when a fleet card gets dropped).

Hypothetically speaking does this mean the following is true?

Someone using command gets to activate 2 unmanned vipers. he uses his first activation to launch a viper: lee uses AVP to pilot it and take a free action. If the second activation is used to launch another viper Lee can then use AVP again to jump into the 2nd viper and take another free action.

i know you have to switch launching tubes each time you launch a viper, but i dont think you're limited just to two vipers deploying a turn, right?

If all the above holds true does that mean that with executive order on command, Lee could be taking 4 additional actions?

Does this create some crazy synergy with CAG where Lee could hypothetically take 8 actions in a single turn (assuming all the vipers where in the hanger bay)...

If so doesnt that technically mean that the humans could have an 11 action turn?

1: activate command

2: first unmanned viper goes out, lee pilots it and plays consolodate power

3. 2nd unmanned viper goes out, lee pilots it and plays CAG

4: 1st cag viper gets deployed, lee pilots it and plays consolodate power

5: 2nd cag viper gets deployed, lee pilots it and plays consolodate power

6: 3rd cag viper gets deployed, lee pilots it and plays consolodate power

7: 4th cag viper gets deployed, lee pilots it and plays consolodate power

8: 5th cag viper gets deployed, lee pilots it and plays consolodate power

9: 6th cag viper gets deployed, lee pilots it and plays executive order

10: new guy takes 1st action

11: new guy takes 2nd action

have the new guy be in the presidents office for true card busting hilarity.

My German version states that Lee can only use his Alert Viper Pilot Ability if he is in a Galactica Location. So after using it the first time he can not use it again until he's back on Galactica.

Yeah, I don't have the game in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that Lee can only use this ability when on Galactica (and not in the Brig). This wouldn't allow the situation you spell out, nor would it allow Lee to jump into a Viper if he is on Colonial One.

only when on Galactica;)

What's this "have to switch launching tubes" about? I don't remeber reading anything about that. I was under the impresion that you could choose freely which of the two areas with launch icons you place a viper in, regardles of previous launches. Am I missing something here?

There is no requirement on this. You may launch from any tube you like.
