Default Re: CG Galactica

Probably the reason the battlestars didn't have that many guns to begin with is that carriers are not intended to operate in isolation. Normally, the Galactica would have operated as part of a battlegroup, with other vessels, as well as Vipers, performing screening duties as the situation called for. Since fleeing the Colonies, things would need to be improved and modified, as supplies permitted. That two raiders made it through, in FIS, shows the vulnerability of being stuck alone.
