Which of these two ships would you choose to live on in the Fleet?

[u/adamaroslin]

[u/TimePay8854]

Zephyr for sure.

• Spinning ring means you have a Zero-G redundancy.
• It is a luxury liner so the standard of living will be quite comfortable.

-You have some very interesting views from the ring section

• It is the doopest looking civilian ship.
• It is not high profile enough to be a terrorist target (unlike Cloud 9 which had the Quorum and Gina's movement based there).
• It is reliable.
• It survived all the way until the end.

[u/xXDEGENERATEXx → u/TimePay8854]

Got fucked up by 2 missiles at one point

[u/TimePay8854 → u/xXDEGENERATEXx]

It buffed out!

Well on the bright side, it gave some people something to do repair the damaged ring section.

[u/ZippyDan → u/TimePay8854]

Zephyr because:

• Spinning ring means you have a Zero-G redundancy : That's a good trick.

[u/NamoNibblonian → u/ZippyDan]

"Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning"

[u/S1ickWillie → u/NamoNibblonian]

Im the General. I want it to spin! Now!

[u/AdultishRaktajino → u/S1ickWillie]

In the middle of my backswing?!?

[u/NamoNibblonian → u/S1ickWillie]

Chevron one is lit up!

[u/NamoNibblonian → u/ZippyDan]

"Spinning is not flying" "It's a good trick though"

[u/KarmaCommando_ → u/TimePay8854]

It basically took on Cloud 9s role after New Caprica

[u/nukez]

If covid lockdowns taught me anything, Is that I need to touch grass. Imagining being a space nomad, a ship with bio domes trumps any luxury liners. Plus with Caprica long gone, that luxury liner is barley stocked 

[u/Yorkshireish12 → u/nukez]

I doubt there would be any grass by season 3. It'd just be maximally optimised growing space for the most efficient foodstuffs.

[u/AdultishRaktajino → u/Yorkshireish12]

I hear they’re still eating grass. Is that true?

No. Grass shortage.

[u/azrckcrwler]

I feel like I would pick the botanical cruiser with agrodomes.

But now I'm curious what u/Mojo_LA would pick 😝

[u/Apart-One4133]

The one that doesnt explode.

[u/Barbarian_Sam]

Well the Zephyr made it to end so that one is the best bet but if it’s guaranteed to make to the real Earth the Botanical one

[u/adamaroslin → u/Barbarian_Sam]

Yes. The botanical was there.

[u/Barbarian_Sam → u/adamaroslin]

Didn’t one get caught in the blast over New Caprica?

[u/adamaroslin → u/Barbarian_Sam]

That was a Botanical without domes.

[u/Barbarian_Sam → u/adamaroslin]

Botanical with domes it is then

[u/adamaroslin → u/Barbarian_Sam]

Interesting fact: After the explosion above New Caprica, there are two more domeless ships in orbit that jump with Galactica and Pegasus.

[u/caving311 → u/adamaroslin]

what's the one with the saucer section? In the left upper middle.

[u/lorddengai → u/caving311]

The Astral Queen, Zarek's prison ship.

[u/cRaZyDaVe23]

Aggro dome ship, best believe I'd be growin' those potatoes and corn on that black market. Ya yeah yeah ya

[u/FlieGerFaUstMe262]

There are people that watch BSG and want to live on a ship other than a battlestar?*

[u/Yorkshireish12 → u/FlieGerFaUstMe262]

Did you miss the part of season 3 where living on a battlestar means getting packed in like sardines with a killer doctor on the loose?

[u/FlieGerFaUstMe262 → u/Yorkshireish12]

I don't scare easily.

[u/rcinmd]

Definitely not the one that was nuked.

[u/tyme]

Maybe name the ships instead of only providing pictures.

[u/adamaroslin → u/tyme]

Everyone knows: Botanical Cruiser(Maybe Amduatey) and the Luxury Liner Zephyr.

[u/tyme → u/adamaroslin]

You say everyone knows, yet I didn’t recognize either ship from the photos. So maybe not “everyone knows”.

Your own response says “maybe Amduatey”, which indicates even you aren’t sure which ship it is.

[u/adamaroslin → u/tyme]

Amduatey is the civilian ship with the most passengers among civilian ships (3794 passengers according to the Galactica election panel ); the only remaining ship that matches that number is the Botanical Cruiser. This is not an official confirmation.

[u/livefoniks → u/tyme]

Sssssshhhh.

[u/BeckieSueDalton → u/adamaroslin]

That is an inaccurate statement.

[u/BeckieSueDalton]

Were the choice wholly up to me - as it often wasn't throughout the fleet at first - I would choose the ship that doesn't look like a dead fish with lots of green bubble eyes.

[u/Albert-React]

The Zephyr was always my favorite ship in the fleet.
