If it weren't for that ONE pixel...
Best to you, my friend.
Hi, Steve,
Thanks for the kind words.
My Galactica (per my fanfic Galactica: The Last Battlestar) can carry up to 150 fighters of varying type, 20 Raptors, 20 Mambas (variant on the Raptor),
10 light shuttles, 10 medium shuttles, and 10 heavy shuttles. I think she can launch up to 16 fighters per side at once.

Her carried craft breakdown, as of the fall of Caprica, works out something like this:

25- SF04A Kraits (these are based on the Viper Mk VII from the new series).
25- SF41A Vipers (based on the Viper Mk II from the new series)
25- SF41B Vipers (based on the original series Viper)

5 light shuttles
5 medium shuttles (original series based ship)
10 heavy shuttles (new series shuttle)

10 SE-6B Raptors (electronic warfare and reconnaissance craft)
16 SA-6A Mambas (bomber variant of the Raptor)

That's the breakdown of her carried craft as of the events of the holocaust in my story.
