We had an episode a while back where they had to calculate jump coordinates based on being in a particular location, even if Cylons were present. Hence the whole network the computers to calculate the jump point and get the hell out.
That doesn't bother me as much. They were in orbit around New Caprica for a year, they should know exactly where everything is and where they want to go. I think being familiar with the territory and having inside information is what allowed them to perform such hotdog flying.
I've got no numbers so I'll happily pay I don't know. I just think the logistics of lifting that many people off would have been really dodgy. then again, we don't know how many ships were grounded - maybe it was most of them?
