Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm still trying to figure out all of the intricacies of this wiki thing. Hopefully I don't look like too much of a newb, lol.

Viper Ref. Numbers[edit]

are you going to do a list of the viper numbers since you have done one of the raptors and put them on offensive arment page?

I'll be happy to, if you can tell me which episodes to look in. I can't remember hearing any Vipers being identified numerically in the series. --Peter Farago 19:19, 12 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Most of the Viper numbers are likely to come from the DRADIS closeups, if anything else. -- Joe Beaudoin 12:25, 13 Aug 2005 (EDT)
you can find a lot of viper reference numbers in the mini series e.g. viper 450 etc
To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure that keeping track of individual vipers is going to be a very interesting endeavor. The raptors are at least countable - there are probably no more than ten - so it makes some sense to keep track of them on an individual basis. As far as the vipers go, it would seem sufficient just to give a simple headcount (currently 35, assuming none were destroyed off-screen in "Scattered"). --Peter Farago 19:33, 17 Aug 2005 (EDT)

RTFF?[edit]

Hi Peter. Is RTFF an acronym for what I believe it is? If so, please refrain from using it in the edit summaries, if only out of civility. Thanks! :-)

Rag-Tag Fugitive Fleet. What did you think the second "F" stood for? --Peter Farago 12:56, 13 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Interesting acronym. :-) I was being a bit paranoid there, given that's an acronym for some other things as well. -- Joe Beaudoin 23:15, 13 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Race and Ethnicity in the Twelve Colonies[edit]

In your work you state that Gaius Baltar may have an interest only in white women. If you remember, Gaius was caught in bed with an East Asian woman in the miniseries by Number Six. -QuintusCinna

Good Catch, thank you. Six also intimated that he had some interest in Boomer. --Peter Farago 14:26, 28 August 2005 (EDT)

12 Colonies of Kobol Standards[edit]

I know, it sounds a little over eager. I took several zoom in snap shots of the 12 banners both in the mini-series and also in Colonial Day. These are definitely the icons and the colors. Icon was a name used and so far the planet relative to Libra has not been mentioned. This is the only colony I find debatable. Certain colonies may not go with certain standards such as Aquarius or Leonis. I made this with flash in between my summer graduate classes. If you would like to use it, I don't mind- just give me credit.

Wow, these are really excellent. I've been thinking about creating something like this myself, but I'm glad you've beaten me to the punch. What format are the originals in, some kind of vector package?
I note that in the scene we're discussing, Wenutu and Sanne appear to be over different flags than usual. --Peter Farago 15:18, 28 August 2005 (EDT)

QuintusCinna = Yes, these are vector based using Flash. I've been having fun building a flash battlestar galactica encyclopedia, but was glad to see you already had this even though my flash stuff was nearly finished. If you pay attention to the flags behind, they are all at random placements and that they are placed differently than that of the miniseries' memorial at the end. I played with the idea that the memorial's flags were in order of when they were nuked while the flags on Cloud Nine were placed in order of their signing the Articles of Colonization. It's purely guess though. Note that in Colonial Day, the Sagittaron flag is at the farthest right while Tom Zarek is somwhere in the middle. This clearly shows to me there is no relation between the flags' placements and the delegates sitting.
