Naturally it would be in space. Take a battlestar, fill it with 300 fighters and you can move it across a starsystem easier than 30 capital ships.

Actually it would be 80 fighters as they have stated they have a compliment of 4 fighter squadrons:
Red
Blue
Yellow
Green
Of 20 fighters each which means 80 fighters.

Okay the estimated total military strength of the Colonial Fleet is as follows:
120 Battlestars (confirmed)
9,600 Fighters (80 fighters per battlestar assuming the new battlestars have the same compliment as the Galactica Class)
480 Raptors (assuming 1 raptor per squadron)
Each fully manned battlestar let's say 5,000 people times 120= 600,000 persons.

All in all a small military navy for 12 worlds each with populations numbering in the billions.

I think that right there suggests the colonial navy has to be much larger than we thought with many more sizes of ships in additional to battlestars.

Other option is that since the galactica is an older ship, newer battlestars may have larger compliments of fighters and such.

Either that or it sugjests a different mentallity about warfare then what modern Earth humans consider to be "proper" warfare.

could be, we simply don't know enough about the structure of the galactica universe in this series.
