Shouldn't we call the ''Space Park'' something more Galactica like. This ship could be the ''Rising Star'' even with Libran registry. it could've been in orbit around Picon during the attacks? {{unsigned|CoreyDanian}}
:If the "Rising Star" resembles the TOS version, it would look nothing like the Space Park. In any case, we've had no indication that they are the same ship - remember, it's a big fleet. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 19:37, 2 October 2006 (CDT)

== How sure are we of some of the info presented here? ==

A lot of the stuff about the Space Park being of an older design - utilized before artificial gravity became readily available - comes from the Sci-Fi website and hasn't been proven on screen or in dialog (not to mention that the ship looks ''way'' too advanced to be of an old design). As is the notion that it was a military vessel converted to civilian use. Should we perhaps remove this information? Really, it's just speculation.  -- [[User:Helo87|Helo87]]

-:::::::The first of the Face of the Enemy webisodes seems to be implying that the Space Park is actually the oft-mentioned Zephyr. That Raptor is pointed right at it in the effects shot.-- [[User:David cgc|David cgc]] 18:26, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

-: I've never really been fond of information from SciFi's website... However, they are an official website, but it should really be cited. If we can't find the older version of the site via the [http://web.archive.org Wayback Machine], then we should really remove the information, I think. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 21:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
-:The site isn't that reliable, but I think it's worth noting. However, we could make an own section at the end of the article for the SciFi information, and not mix it with the on-screen stuff. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 21:34, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
-== Possible Repair by Guess What's Coming To Dinner? ==
-I noticed several times in [[Guess What's Coming To Dinner?]] that the ring on the ''Space Park'' was repaired and twice I saw it spining. Should we make a note of it here and in the episode. --[[User:CoreyDanian|Corey Danian]] 1.10 Wednesday May 21 2008 (CST)
-:This is confirmed by [[Sometimes a Great Notion]] and [[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]] where its spinning again. [[User:CoreyDanian|Shan]] 14:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)<noinclude></noinclude>
-== Face the Enemy Webisode: Merge with Zephyr? ==
-In the first 4.5 season webisode, it's clear that the ship that they are heading to for R&R is the Space Park.  They call it the Zephyr, a previously mentioned but unseen ship.  I think it's time to merger the two articles. --[[User: the Dirt|The Dirt]] 11.20 Friday December 12 2008 (MDT)
-: Yes, the ring ship/"Space Park" is called ''Zephyr''. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 19:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
-== Ship size values ==
-How sure are we of the size values listed on the site? I have ortographic renders of the ship and if the length is indeed 1219,2m then the height/width of the ring section comes out at approximately 670m, which is almost double the figure this site has listed (381m - impossible at current ratios). {{unsigned|Newman}}
-: The values came from the old Scifi Channel website, and were (likely) handed to them by the production. As to whether they make sense or not... that's another discussion. We'll need to note the logic error. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 17:26, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
