The Feddies are notorious for being a bunch of controlling jerks. Any truce they offer will likely be along the lines of 'do as we say or bugger off', and it's not like the Galactica is exactly formidable enough to win a staring contest with the EFSF. The Zabis aren't exactly known for being nice people either, and aren't likely to negotiate anything (especially if it's Gihren of Kycillia, who are ruthless in the extreme).

Sorry, I can't let this pass.

Jesus Christ you are stupid.

Do you have any idea how the real world works? Any idea at all? In your mind a bunch of fatty aspie four-chan idiots are accorded enough "respect" as "l33t" hackers that the US government gives them resources?

Seriously, how old are you?

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Lonestar, we've had someone answer the question 'how do you propose we reverse engineer this super advanced space-going cybernetic biotechnology' with 'like in this science fiction television show'. The standard for this thread is not high.

Am answering thos that I know on.

1. Real World (2010)

In the real world we stand a much better chance fighting them on the ground, however the cylons would have used thier advance espionage to get the neccsary information and quickly decimate a defencless world.

The colonists won't help on the matter, niether will our politics.

4: Halo

The standard weapons in that universe are just too much for the cylons to handle, though as they prefer Infiltration before attack, If the colonists appear in Halo and team up with their earth counterparts then I can see the cylons taking advantage of that and add a few Infiltration operations admist this. In respect the cylons are somewhat a bit smart at the general alien invasion scheme. Sabotage the ships, bombard the planets and kill off the survivors with your droids. They could pull it off.

5: Star Wars

To quote Imperial528:
If the Imperials find them, God bless both sides, because now one of C-3PO's outrageously low odds-of-survival numbers will have a place in the universe.
6: Star Trek

Various ways to end but the best way would be that the enterprise will spend half a day with it's shields on with picard drinking his earl tea, Data sending messages over and over asking the cylons to kindly stop firing whilst worf is waiting impaitently for picard to give him permission to fire phasers to which picard says just 10% will do. Worf 'accidently' fires the phasers at 10.5% which just so happens to deactivate their weapons, launcher bays engines, life support, navigation along with a additional swizz-chesse styling of their entire hull. Only then does Troi mind reader of 'mutal grievences' says she senses a great loss of dignity comming from the cylons.

(The only moot point the cylons have was their Inflintration to make human clones but the federation have been dealing with this sort and their sensors alone do a good job in finding such schemes. Either that or arrive at the jeffery archer timeline where they actually do have an advantage.

7: Starship troopers

I've only seen the movie (and the er...second one) If the cylons can't beat these numbskulls then they might as well do Seppuku with a tin opener and get it done with.

9: Warhammer 40K

...Anyone want to play Kick the can?

The Starship Troopers sequels has Johnny Rico and a bunch of sexy soldiers deep striking in Marauder armor and killing the crap out of millions of bugs, and the fleet then starts throwing out nuclear weapons that blow planets to pieces. Cylons die. :P

In the movie Starship Troopers III the humans, Colonials and Cylons all sit under a tree and sing kumbaya because they know God solves all their problems!
