We have never heard this term again. However, they never refer to "our red line" just "the red line". I think it marks the boundary of explored space, and that individual ships FTL do not have their own personal "red lines". As evidenced by the Cylon Raider, and the talk about what could happen to ''Pegasus'' in a blind-Jump, there is actually no distance limit to a Jump, the only thing that limits them from ''wanting'' to make one is the safe distance their nav computer can compute, knowing they won't run into something. Better computer gives farther range. In light of this, and the context, I really think this should be changed to limit of explored space. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] 17:07, 4 March 2006 (CST) | |||

I was thinking, maybe the Red Line in the context Adama used wasn't literal. Maybe it is a saying like "you've crossed the line" where there is no physical line but a figurative one. --Talos 01:23, 28 December 2005 (EST)
- Okay, I should've read the first sentence of the article. It's frakking 1:30 AM here, I'm tired. --Talos 01:25, 28 December 2005 (EST)
- My view, which I have maintained for some time now, is that the "Red Line" is the imaginary line marking off "Unexplored Space". I don't think it refers to the jump range capabilities of a specific ship at all. --Ricimer 01:50, 28 December 2005 (EST)
- I concur completely; the other meaning never occured to me on watching the show. "The red line" would sound weird instead of "our red line" given the other meaning. --CalculatinAvatar 02:54, 28 December 2005 (EST)

- For the record, Adama didn't use it; Tigh did. --CalculatinAvatar 02:54, 28 December 2005 (EST)
