They should be thinking of 2 things strategically: hiding and acquiring resources.

They've been running (how do you hide in space?), and early episodes were about supplies. Now they're going for the important end strategic objective: a long-term place for humanity to settle. Humanity can't live on in a bunch of old spaceships forever.

So far that's been the search of Earth, but it was recently suggested to go back to Caprica and retake it.

Ok, how 'bout the fact they hardly salvage stuff and leave equipment behind all the time; or researching Cylon tech for exploitation and usage, researching/teaching Cylon computer code; cataloging Cylon strengths/weaknesses vs. humans' for advantages; close attention to Cylon capabilites and actions and considering that in their decisions, etc., etc.? Instead the writers play on the whole sappy Cylon-Human inter-twined fate angle like some high-tech Stockholm Syndrome.

The show doesn't take the viewer anywhere, it just makes them feel good about where they're at and under incredible circumstances.

Far from being morally neutral BSG and most SF today has sappy, secular-humanist, socialist values prevailing under the most incredible of circumstances. Conclusion: Barf. The shows project false morality. The story lines are pathetic when compared to the convictions and actions of people who have faced hardship and extermination throughout history. Maybe they could rename it to Battlestar Etruscan; that'd be more appropriate.
