=== Conflict or Lax SpecFX Work? ===
Does anyone else notice a conflict here? It's already been stated that there is a ''Celestra'' emulation in the TNS's fleet. ([[Celestra|Examine Here]]) The emulation looks exceptionally like the old ''Celestra'', and supposedly has the name ''Celestra'' already on the CGI model. If this is the case, then why is this ship the ''Striker''? Is ''Striker'' a call-sign or handle, or is this the name of the ship? I highly doubt that there are two of this ship type in the fleet, as in the old series, this ship was described as being a unique para-military "work" ship, skippered by a one-time military captain. Yes, it sounds like I'm nitpicking, and this might be a petty point, except I get quite... "frustrated" at what can be none other than laziness and miscommunication amongst TPTB on this series. -- [[User:Hawke|Hawke]] 21:57, 29 January 2006 (EST)

:When I watched the episode, I thought that Striker was a callsign, but Kat was the one pilotting it, so Striker wouldn't be her callsign.  I just doubt the possibility of the Colonial Fleet having an unimaginative name like 'Striker' for a ship.  It's strange to me, but barring future episode mentions, Striker will have to stay as the ship name. --Ltcrashdown 00:03, 30 January 2006 (EST)

::The raptor pilot was [[Emmitt Jones|Emmitt "Sweetness" Jones]], but your point stands. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 00:05, 30 January 2006 (EST)

:::Yes, I know.  Kat was pilotting 'Striker' while Emmitt pilotter the Raptor.  I didn't even mention the Raptor because it would just confuse things in this instance.  --Ltcrashdown 06:33, 30 January 2006 (EST)

:::: A thought: Looking at the Dradis image for the fueling op, it shows both ships, labeled as "Tanker" and "Striker." I highly doubt that there is a tanker in the fleet actually named "Tanker." So maybe Striker is the class of ship. Are there any good shots of the Striker that shows that name along the side? Maybe the Celestra is a Striker class vessel. -- [[User:Alpha5099|Alpha5099]] 00:39, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

This is just here to not be a misfit; it's text-linked from the ship data box. (Should it ever be removed from there, anyone may feel free to remove it from here.) --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 10:22, 18 May 2006 (CDT)
