Few things I didn't mention but are quite important:
1) In base game, every time you jump, the game board is cleared; all enemy ships are gone, your civilian ships are reshuffled, your vipers (and their pilots) go back to reserves.
2) Revealed cylon players may only ever add 1 card to skill check. They also only draw 3 cards at the start of their turn but are not limited to the colors they can draw from.
3) When a cylon revelas himself, he discrads skill cards until he has 3 left. He can no longer use his character abilities.
4) Rules tab in vassal is extremely helpful. You should probably read that (and/or the original rulebook) instead of watching this video #honesty
