Default Re: Battlestar Galactica On SciFi Channel

In that one ep of the origial BSG Apollo makes a reference to the Galactica's Last navigation pod where her orignal crew used to navigate the stars over 600 years ago...the Atlantia was even older then the Galactica so who knows how old that made her.

Now the big thing is even IF you use a combination of advanced tech and metalurgy it makes no sense to keep a ship active for over 600 years when you should be developing new ships and new techs every 10 or 20 years which means that a 50 year life span makes far more sense then 600+.

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.
