Like most great Sci-Fi the Goodguys seam to have more characters and equal'ish military resources as the Badguys. In The BSG Universe this is half true. The Cylons have way more resources than the humans. This is scary in the stories, and kind of funny too. Even in the 1978 show The Cylons came in great numbers... but just one ship type... because they are machines and a Raider gets the job done in most ceases.
By their nature The Cylon Fleet is just not going to have as many types of ships as The Colonials, who need specialized craft to do things that would otherwise get them killed in a Viper. Cylons are harder to kill.
The types of Cylon Drones discussed in my recent BSG FBG post are a stationary attack platform and a ship type. ARES may get both of these concepts approved, but more on that later my Cylons!
I have in fact been chatting a good bit on BSG FBG with Roberto Di Meglio who is the ARES Production Manager and is in charge of the variety of ships going into the game. I can assure you all that he is working to make good things happen!
The fact that Roberto has made it clear he is going to
beyond what was seen in the 1978 and 2004 series
has made me very content for the future of this game!!!
Looking more closely at BSG DEADLOCK has me excited for The Cylons! Just how many cool variants on the Raider are there... AND how many of them can ARES and Roberto get into our wonderful BSG SSB Game? Wow It All Looks Sweet!
