Space/Science » in reply to Anyone notice that the Vipers use control thrusters?

That's one of my favorite parts about the space battle scenes

When I saw how the Vipers maneuvered in the miniseries, I was hooked. At last, someone got it right -maneuver to an attitude with thrusters then fire main thrusters to accelerate along the vector. Yeah, there's a little sound but not too bad. I also like how they're using kinetic weapons and missiles.

I also like the fact that everything looks used, not sanitary. BG was about to be retired, so it had old systems like the phone handsets. That's how they were able to survive - the ships with more modern systems were easy to disable. Good stuff.

I've watched every episode more than once. New episodes air on Fridays, then are repeated on Mondays. Last night, they showed 4 episodes back to back.
