	Episode hasn't aired in pacific time yet, but did this ship actually construct 40 vipers? --[[User:~~Peter Farago~~\|~~Peter Farago~~]] 22:36, 3 February 2006 (EST)		Episode hasn't aired in pacific time yet, but did this ship actually construct 40 vipers? --[[User:April Arcus\|April Arcus]] 22:36, 3 February 2006 (EST)

	:Actually, it's not a ship. It's an asteroid that contains enough metal (and a quote) for the fleet to construct up to 40 Vipers. Also, it's confirmed that a Pegasus construction facility has successfully built a new Viper about 15 minutes into the episode. They have the resources, they just haven't used them yet. I'm updating as the episode airs to pave the way for others. --Ltcrashdown 22:39, 3 February 2006 (EST)		:Actually, it's not a ship.

	::::::I thought they explained that in "Res Ship Part I" pretty well; it's not just Raiders: ALL of the Cylons can now actually die, so they're afraid to send Basestars and other ships in to attack them. Right now, the Cylons are sending in a few Raiders like Scar for hit and run attacks, but on the whole, the Colonials hit them and hit them hard, so now they've pulled back and are planning their next move. In what I think is going to be a good move that can keep the show going for more seasons, the Cylons will start arguing amongst themselves over what the best course of action to take with the humans is now; developing internal factions who don't agree with each other. Basically, at least by the end of this season, they will have realized that a strategy of frontal assault isn't really working anymore, so they're going to try to use subterfuge, and split the humans against each other. --[[User:Ricimer\|Ricimer]] 12:29, 5 February 2006 (EST)		::::::I thought they explained that in "Res Ship Part I" pretty well; it's not just Raiders: ALL of the Cylons can now actually die, so they're afraid to send Basestars and other ships in to attack them.

	A colonial squadron numbers 20 craft, correct? It's entirely plausible, given ''Pegasus's'' more modern design that she'd be fully capable of building her own Vipers, Raptors, munitions, etc. I mean, ''Galactica'' is considerably older (and smaller) and she has a munitions plant onboard (albeit depicted rather... sloppily, and being kinda thrown together, but that's another discussion) and an extensive and highly capable water recycling system. The ''Mercury''-class (to which ''Pegasus'' belongs) was probably intended to operate for long periods of time in battlegroups at a distance from the Colonies that hampered resupply of craft, so that capability was inbred into the design. As Ricimer pointed out, it'll take them awhile to complete all those Vipers, but they did manage to get one finished in those 29 days.		A colonial squadron numbers 20 craft, correct?
