Play nano-repair and redshirt on the ship and myself, respectively. Use Ramming Speed on the S.S. Juke, and Aimed shot on the S.S. Emperor's Fire. Aim for the teleport chamber.
Wouldn't it be smarter to use both Ramming Speed and the aimed shot at the Emperor's fire?  If you aim for the undamaged right hull section, the entire ship will be destroyed (with RoaryStar & Dumbo.exe aboard)

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

True, it would destroy the whole ship, but we don't need to do that. Why destroy it, when we can attack another enemy, while trapping them on a scrapheap anyway? Besides, the forcefieds will last another turn.

Fire... the lasers? What? Are we resurrecting '06 memes or something?
I thought that crew members were able to find the port and starboard lasers separate from the bridge commands?
I am positive it does not say this anywhere in the rules.

Quote
Laser(left,right): Can be fired each turn by the captain from the bridge, causes 1 damage to a random section of a enemy ship provided it hits. Cannot contain a crew member.
Don't think so.

Edit: Question. How did Roarystar manage to shoot the SS Jukes laser from SS Emperor's fire's left pod. Not only is there nowhere a mention of manually controlling lasers, but even if he could manually control the laser, he could neither aim nor bypass our shields.

I think you attributed said damage to the wrong ship. 
Yes, fixed now.

Well then Redshirt, then Repair Brigade on the hull section I'm in, since it's kinda toasty.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Ok, we'll take orders as is.

Cmdr. TopHat plays a Redshirt and ports over to the S.S. Dark Drake.
Cpt. WhitiusOpus plays Nano-repair, instantly repairing the damage caused by the plasma charge. He then plays a Redshirt and plows Ramming speed! directly into the S.S. Juke, before destroying the S.S. Emperor's Fire's teleport chamber with an Aimed shot. Damage is taken all around.
Lt-Cmdrs. mastahcheese and TopHat play their Redshirts. Lt-Cmdr. mastahcheese also plays a Repair brigade.

I think that's rather presumptuous. We lesser infidels aboard the S.S. Juke don't get cards until the Advanced Jamming Pod is destroyed.

PTW.  Holy shit this is glorious.  I love how the Dark Drake has been used in TWO ramming attacks, by two different crews.

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule

And neither ordered by the original captain. Who was the first casualty. Which is annoying.

I'm pretty sure you did the first ramming thing, actually.

Also, you brought your own death upon yourself. By ramming me. Cęst la vie.

Wouldn't blame you, since you died at the second turn. Too bad that happened, we could have had a better chance had you survived.

I'm looking forward to running a new game with my rules revisions. I think it's gonna be quite a different game.
