 a more accurate measurement would be  300 fighters (with perhaps a third in ready reserve; Saga Of A Star  World listed the Galacticas pilot contingent at over 200 while in  Lost Planet Of The Gods injured warriors hastily return to duty and  fly what are presuambly backup fighters stored in ready reserve) and  40 to 50 shuttles. A Cylon base star, based on scale measurement  comparison, is 5,800 feet wide and can carry far more than its  listed contingent of 300 fighters.
