Como o uso da unidade Cylon FTL possibilitou que todos os Raptors retornassem a Caprica?

12

No episódio da segunda temporada BattleStar Galactica 19 Starbuck leva uma equipe de Raptors de volta a Caprica. Mas eles só têm 1 drive Cylon FTL.

A partir do BattleStarWiki :

..they will use 20 Raptors and use the navigation computer/organ from one of the captured Heavy Raiders to calculate the jumps back to Caprica. Using this, they can make it back to Caprica in a series of 10 jumps.

Como é que com apenas 1 unidade Cylon FTL eles conseguiram transportar 20 Raptors?

Eles não usaram o drive FTL, eles usaram o computador de navegação para calcular os saltos.

Colonial FTL performance can be improved, demonstrated when a Raptor is successfully refitted by a team apparently led by Lieutenant Felix Gaeta with the navigational computer from a captured Heavy Raider (presumably the one used by Kara Thrace to return from Caprica in "Home, Part I") and, with the cooperation of a Number Eight, is used to navigate a squadron of Raptors back to Caprica on a rescue mission to retrieve a group of resistance fighters (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I). A massive distance that would have taken Galactica 241 jumps one way (~482 jumps total), the Raptor squadron does in only 20 (10 to Caprica, 10 back).
