[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [qb]At this point we will probably never make even a small probe without utilizing at least some network technology. This is to say nothing of a vessel of the magnitude and complexity of Galactica (let alone of a fleet of, *gulp* 120 of these bohemoths.) I find it hard to believe that a culture as advanced as the colonies obviously are (they did make the first Cylons) would be so paranoid and backward as to completely ignore the distinct advantages networking would allow them as far as efficiency and capability.[/qb][/QUOTE]Except it seems implied that there was a push to getting high-powered networks everywhere. Remember, [i]Galactica[/i] was the only one of 120 battlestars that was not affected when the Cylons launched their attack. That means all the others had to have some form of an interconnected network in place in order for Baltar's communications program to disable the rest of the systems on those ships. Also, when Apollo first arrived on the [i]Galactica[/i], he made a big deal of the auto-landing system being down. So, the other ships must have them (and the implication that they also have interconnecting networks). Yet also some more, Baltar was working on a high-level super-security-granting project that involved networks. I'm with Omega, the only backwards one is really Commander Adama. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon [qb]It's kinda funny that while Adama is obsessive about not "having networks" while he's in command, he overlooks a softball sized piece of Cylon technology on his own bridge for probably a whole week.[/qb][/QUOTE]Tigh missed it completely as well, and Gaeta just assumed that it was for the decommissioning. Yeah, they all should of caught that. I bet Adama just trusted his subordinates to know that nothing networkish be installed on his ship, and his officers (most of them youngens who never fought in a war) were just complacent going into this decommissioning ceremony. Still, really sloppy on that, yes, I agree. Back to the belaboured subject of networks, after rewatching the first part, the implication in the conversation between Roslin and Adama on the tour's network is that [i]Galactica[/i] flat out has no networks of any kind whatsoever. Obviously a contradiction to how things were shown and what logic would dictate. Sloppy writing, again. [/QB][/QUOTE]
