Talk:Cylon Basestar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perhaps this page should be split to make a separate page for each series's basestars.

I'm not too sure about the fact that a Cylon basestar outmatches a battlestar in "every tactical respect". In Resurrection Pt. 2, the Pegasus and the Galactica managed to completely destroy two basestars and the Resurrection ship with minimal damage shown or mentioned.

The battlestars are also both shown to have recieved return fire from both the basestars and neither show the destruction that is witnessed on the basestars.

You're right. I don't know where the "outmatched" information came from (when something isn't clearly shown or stated in the show, it needs to be sourced!), but I've updated that section to reflect RP2. --Chronodm 05:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

"The Cylons were also aware of Boomer's half-Cylon half-human unborn baby aboard Galactica, and protecting it became a top priority, precluding them from doing major damage to Galactica." What reason do you have for stating this as fact? It's possible, but conversations with Boomer also indicate that she's saved the fleet several times. These claims do not seem to be disputed. It's likely that Sharon and the Cylons have their own undisclosed agendas, but at this time I don't you can claim that prevents cylons from attacking the Galactica.

Yes they did seem to value the hybrid baby, but recall that at one point Boomer disabled an entire attack force of cylon raiders because she strongly believed that they would kill her because she had become a liability. If they were willing to kill her then, I'm not sure they would have hesitated at a later time.

The basestars also caused minimal damage to the Pegasus, which I'm sure they knew did not contain Boomer.

Okay, on the Battlestar Galactica Website, the length of a Basestar is said to be 5,100 feet which converts into about 1,554 meters. It also states that Basestars carry at least 250 Raiders with an unknown number of additional Raiders. All this is fact, so please don't delete any of this information on the page.

Please mark for spoilers.

[edit] Article split

This article should still contain some material from Cylon Basestar (re-imagining). The {{main}} template isn't an inline redirect, it's more a pointer for where you should go for more detail. - cohesion 08:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
