I said what I did with the idea of a more first person view in mind. After I submitted I saw you had posted again and it clarified things. Gates definitely work better in any sort of RTS or strategy type deal where you control multiple units.
Anyways, sorry for the confusion!
p.s. BSG has a bad habbit of touching on those logistical issues like fuel or the fact that the fuel workers have been going 24/7 since the cylon attack, and then just completely ditching the storyline. Though it's not exactly surprising, because as you mentioned it's a story. The story comes first and any science / logistics are applied after it's written. I'm not trying to derail though, I just think it's a little ridiculous!
