	Do Basestars really 'dwarf' Battlestars like the Pegasus and Galactica? Personally I think that they do, thats just the feel I get for them, but the truth is that I can't find any really good comparisons of a Battlestar and Basestar close togther. Theres a scene from Ressurectin Ship Pt. 2 where Apollo is drifting in space and you can see a Basestar and the two Battlestars, but the perspective is such that you can't really tell the size of them. Are theyre any concrete numbers on Basestar size, or at least some good comparisons?[[User:Antagonist\|Antagonist]] 22:32, 11 June 2006 (CDT)		Do Basestars really 'dwarf' Battlestars like the Pegasus and Galactica?

	When Pegasus rams one in the [[Battle of New Caprica]], Pegasus actually appears noticeably larger in comparison, or at least in bulk.

			::::I was just watching the relevant episodes of B&C, and I realized that it's not just the top half of the Guardian Basestar, but the whole thing has been duplicated and flipped upside-down. It's just that the arms from the bottom half are so much shorter they're almost entirely within the TOS Basestar hull, so only the tips of the arms are visible. It also isn't symmetrical. The TOS Basestar part is higher than the Guardian Basestar part, so you can see the central dome of the Guardian basestar peaking out of the bottom, but on the top only the tops of the long arms are visible. -- [[User:David cgc\|David cgc]] 17:52, 5 December 2012 (EST)

			On our site it reads: Since a basestar does not appear to have point-defense batteries...
			And I never saw a Point defence turret. I would say if they have got point-defense batteries they would not be shy from using it like the batteries on the base on the Tyliumasteroid or the Colony.
			Maybe it would be helpful if anyone can upload a copy of the "Intelligence Debrief: Cylon Basestar, "Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine", June/July 2006, page 57." because it can eventually solve the puzzle.
			But:
			At the battle of the Resurrection Hub (0:24:50) I can see a lot of explosions. Are this explosions missiles shot by raiders/Vipers, or missiles hit by other missiles? Or are this eventually '''Flak-missiles'''?
