New Galactica Series

[gregebowman]

I think you guys are clearing up my confusion. with the Mark VII's out of action in the mini-series, Adama recalled having about 30 mark II's in the museum part of the ship. Now, last week, Apollo commented he had about 40 ships and only 20+ pilots to man them. Now, unless the chief could scratch build 10 extra ships out of thin air, I was wondering where those extra ships came from. Also, I haven't counted, but with the few scrapes they've had with the Cylons, they must have lost at least 5-6 of the Mark II's. HOw is the Galactica going to defend itself and the fleet with only a limited amount of fighters? Adama doesn't seem too concerned over this issue now, but eventually it's going to become a concern. Especially if they can't make any more fighters. Maybe there's a manafacturing ship of some sort in the fleet that can be converted to produce more, but as was mentioned in this last issue, they're running out of fuel for the ships also. Maybe they can find a source of fuel like they did water.

Hopefully SciFi makes an annoucement soon and renews Galactica for a full second season. I'm honstly really surprised that galactica had a 13-episode commitment to begin with, that's pretty impressive.

I got the impression that fuel was something that they could replenish given some amount of time, either by creating it from raw materials or collecting it from a planet maybe? The mentioned using half their fuel supply looking for Starbuck in the last episode. If that was half of the total fuel they'd ever have available to them, then the search was incompetance on a galactic scale. Something well worthy of Adama losing his command over immedietly.

On the other hand if the fuel reserve was something they could replenish in time then all he was doing was taking a chance that they'd get found and attacked by Cylons before they could build up their combat reserves again. A dangerous and risky decision, but not an insane one. That seemed to be how they were treating it.

VERY MINOR SPOILER:











To replenish the fuel they need to extract it from a planet/asteroid/etc with the fuel in it.

Looks like the fuel is something like a radioactive ore that needs to be mined and refined to be used...
