Don't know if this was ever brought up? But which starfighter was the better, the Viper from galactica or the Earth starfighter from Buck rogers? I mean from classic not the later series.
See here:
Battlestar Galactica
The Twelve Colonies
Colonial Viper (the Viper Mark II and Viper Mark VII of the 2003 miniseries, due to physical realism of the show, have vastly increased mobility unparelled by any aircraft)
Colonial Blackbird (2004 series)
The Cylons
Cylon Raider
Cylon Heavy Raider (2004 series)
[edit] Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
The Earth Defense Directorate
Star Fighter (2-person capacity in tandem configuration, four person capacity in side-by-side configuration)
Star Fighter MK II (a tandem-seated Star Fighter with two extra stabilizer fins, used in the second season)
