Re: CG Galactica
My take about why the BaseShips are usually seen alone (aside from ABC being pinchy with the budget!) is that with their centralized mentality, the Cylons pile as much as possible into each ship. As we have seen, the BaseShips can carry out a variety of operations. Even the Raiders, with more internal space than a Viper, could carry extra troops, ordnance, or bombs. To be, as Tigh says in FIS "packed with solonite", they must have room for extra stuff. Again, the centralizing philosophy in action. This can of course be a great asset, as well as a drawback.
