I'm re-watching the series for the umpteenth time and this has bothered me for years. I can forgive all the other issues with flying the raider: plugging hole with jacket, successfully out-flying Lee in a damaged and new to her spacecraft, raiders body parts still working after the brain is dead, getting the lettering on the bottom of the raider, etc. But I can't figure out how Starbuck was seeing to pilot the raider. Was this ever addressed and I just missed it? I assumed in the later episodes that she installed a view screen.

So, how could she see where she was flying?

I thought it was strange that the raiders and heavy raiders were 'living things' as much as any other cylon/ skin job and yet they never treated them as such. Right? I mean the skin jobs all had the ability to vote and to live their lives but the toasters and raiders were treated like second-class citizens.

I think they were treated like livestock/animals. Not considered the same level as a Cylon.
