Talk:List of pilots/Archive 1

Capitalization

I don't particularly care whether or not the terms Viper or Raptor are capitalized, but according to Battlestar_Wiki:FAQ/Proper_BSG_nouns, they needn't be. --Peter Farago 22:59, 21 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Post-Pegasus

My purpose in maintaining this list was to keep track of the fleet's limited manpower, which was made quite a big deal of in "Act of Contrition". However, the number of possible pilots was clearly exceeded in the episode "Flight of the Phoenix", which seems to indicate that the showrunners are no longer keeping track. Furthermore, the episode "Pegasus" is scheduled to introduce several new pilots, which will probably make this even more difficult and fruitless to keep track of. I see two options here:

Note that the list covers the events of the Mini-series through "Final Cut" and leave it as a reference to those episodes.
Reformat to include Pegasus characters but keep track of them separately, using the following outline structure:

Active
- Galactica
  - Vipers
  - Raptors
  - ECOs
  - Others
- Pegasus
  - Vipers
  - Raptors
  - ECOs
  - Others
Deceased
- Galactica

...

or

Galactica
- Active
  - Vipers
  - Raptors
  - ECOs
  - Others
- Deceased

...

Pegasus
- Active
  - Vipers

...

et cetera. Do any of you have any thoughts? Is this even a useful resource, now that the showrunners are apparently not keeping track themselves? --Peter Farago 17:44, 21 September 2005 (EDT)
