Talk:Cylon Basestar

Basestar v Battlestar
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)

Boomer
"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.

Length
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.

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

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)

baseSHIP
The Cylon ships have never been called basestars. I don't know how to make the necessary edits  to change the address of the article (from basestar to baseship). But I've never heard it called basestar. If someone knows of such a mention, please post the episode and time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thespyofcharles (talk • contribs) 21:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * They were called Basestars in 33, Kobol's Last Gleaming part 2, Scattered, and Resurrection Ship part 1. And I think they were called basestars in a few other episodes as well. Also, I think they were called Basestars in the original series back in the 1970's. According to the Battlestar Wiki, the terms "Basestar" and "Baseship" are interchangeable .96.233.188.177 (talk) 02:24, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I'm proposing a merger of Cylon Basestar (reimagining) into the more inclusively-named Cylon Basestar article. The result would be a more coherent and complete article on both the original and reimagined versions of the ship, from both series, following the same model as Battlestar Galactica (ship) and Battlestar Pegasus, which include information from both. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  19:44, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * One week later and no opposition, or, anything, really. So, I'm goin' mergin'! -- Blue Squadron  Raven  16:42, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
