Wouldn't most of the leser ships have been owned by the cylon "1337 h4x0r 474x"? If the peggy barely made it with it's fleet just cause it's abattle star, and scrapped her fleet for weapons ammo and crew. aAny lesser ship would have been obliterated I bet.

Would not lesser ships have had a correspondingly smaller attack force directed at them so that more ships could be used against the battlestars?

I know scriptwriters are taking cues from modern events, but I can't believe that with teh last contigent of known humans alive, that Tighe (and Adama and Roslin) would condone suicide bombing.

Roslin didn't condone it. She flipped out on Tighe over it. It's not been made clear that Adama even knows it was occuring, but I can't imagine he won't be pissed off. I'm rather looking forward to that discussion between Adama and Tighe actually. Tighe is the only one in authority condoning it, and he's pretty well screwed up from weeks of imprisonment and torture.

That's kind of the point I think, how otherwise "normal" people can be pushed to the breaking point and into doing things they wouldn't otherwise consider. Not to mention Tighe has always been a little close to the edge anyway. Look how fast he turned into a dictator when Adama was shot.

You say that as if it was a bad thing. I wouldn't use the term dictator though, more establishing order.

Tighe is a ground force general,but bad fleet captain.

I think they're far enough away from the colonies now that any chance of finding another ship will truly be exceptional.

Ya, but new Capricca (sp) is a lot closer to the old colonies than you think. It was discovered during a rescue mission to Capricca. Also if a ship jumps, it can jump a great distance. So anything is possible.

Actually, New Caprica was reached with a cylon FTL drive. the show has established that the cylon's FTL drives have further range than Colonial systems. I seem to recall them saying that it would take galactica's SAR far more than 10 jumps to get to caprica.

I'm of the opinion that any further survivors and stuff being found be like how galactica finds a planet every 15 episodes or so right now. I think there are more survivors, but I really doubt RDM will feature them. We know atleast 15 other ships outside of Pegasus and the rag Tag Fleet survived (of course, Cain severely cut their chances by stealing their engines, supplies, fuel, crews... it goes on).

No actually it was reached by accident when a raptor got lost during one of the jumps toward Cappricca during the rescue mission.

Azselendor · #**108** October 20th, 2006, 04:29 PM

Whoops, my bad. I ment to say Caprica was reached via a cylon FTL computer.

Atrocities · #**109** October 20th, 2006, 06:35 PM

Yes, the toasters do have superior FTL. Lucky metal bastards.

SPOILER

I told you that they were going to blow up the Pegasus and well they just did.

Now all they have is that tunker Galatica and they lost the fighters, supplies, ordanences, figting capability, and spare parts from the Pegasus.

I knew they would get rid of her, and it just pisses me off. They got rid of her just to get rid of her for a wow factor.
