    Ok I'll admit it. I was expecting another 200K dil cost for the usual.

    But that is actually pretty cool, even if it is just visual. I could easily be persuaded to dip into my limited Dil supplies for that.

    Will you be raising the moon a bit so it will be visible through the skylight?

    Yeah, and those fools in that 300 movie copied the cylon raider for their helmets too! Everybody knows that BSG pre-dates everything in the 'verse. :rolleyes:

    But hey, the Romulan Transport design is canon and the design team have done the ship justice by all means! Great looking craft! ;)

    Why did the Cylons paint Romulan ships Silver?

    Yep, they did. But then again there has been 14 starship ones and 5 embassy ones (before this).

    Admittedly, this one looks much better than the previous one (ivy on embassy's pillars).

    The Starbase Featured Projects are now complete :) We may do more in the future, but nothing is planned for right now.

    personally I kinda wish, with this huge update coming and all, that you guys might have taken some time away from the waste-of-time projects and focused on more important things and/or gameplay fixes.

    Yeah, the Romulan shuttlecraft does have a similar cockpit to the Cylon raider, but we all must remember...

    1. It's canon.
    2. The Romulan shuttle came before the new BSG's cylon raiders... by half a decade.
    3. Its cockpit is still similar to Corinithian helmets ~2500 years ago.

    All these projects were completed long ago, and have just been getting rolled out over time.

    this exactly, if you looked at the Embassy Minimap, you could see peices of projects that hadn't be activated yet. I think you could also see the shuttles in the reflections on the walls.

    At least make the starbase to embassy shuttle drop you off in the shuttlebay then. So at least people will occassionaly see it. Currently it deposits you either on the transporter pad or in the turbolift, I think. Haven't rechecked but it's one of those.

    So does that mean we are going to get re-runs now?

    Shush you! BSG ended after the first series. BSG 1980, is a figment of your imagination.

    How bout you add a actual shuttle bay to our star base so that we aren't boarding shuttles from our transporter pad.
