But if memory serves me right, they were in a thousand year battle with the Cylons, so maybe they didn't have the luxury of research. I know during a war there's always research going on, but apparently it didn't go into ship research. they had these big 12 battlestars with massive weapons and fleets of fighters. Maybe they thought that would be enough. Who knows? I didn't write the show or create the bible they were supposed to use.
