Line 326:
* It was clear that, one-on-one (or even two-on-one) Basestars were no match for a Battlestar (even one as run down as Galactica). So why couldn't the Cylons have at least tried to come up with some sort of dreadnought that could go toe-to-toe with Galactica. Hell, they'd only need one, with a couple of Basestars as backup.
* Why Why WHY did they think the Pegasus was a good trade for Galactica? The Pegasus was twice the size, much more heavliy armed, had fighter fabrication bays, simulators, and wasn't falling apart. If anything, Galactica should have bitten the bullet for Pegasus to live.
** Because the name of the show is ''
*** That seems to have been the original plan - Galactica and her airwing go down fighting whilst the refugee ships jump out and RV with Pegasus to continue the voyage - unfortunately for the plan, Pegasus returned to New Caprica to join the battle and, without her airwing to protect her, was shot to pieces - IIRC she was all but disarmed and barely answering to the helm when Lee Adama gave the order to abandon ship.
** As I recall at the introduction of the Pegasus, it was pointed out that it was designed to have more firepower with a smaller crew. Which implied that it could hold less passengers. Given the Galactica had long been carrying a substantial amount of civilian passengers, Lee may have felt that firepower was less important than living space.
