The underslung engines kind of reminded be of the Kobayashi Maru from the reboots. I was intrigued by the "hood ornament" at the front of the ship. I wonder if this is a lion, just like the head of the cane used by Stella's father.

And from what I know a model kit of the Galactica is available, so they could have kitbashed that ship...
(Ok, some may say that that ship is CGI, but why using parts of previous ships in the first place instead of creating something completely new...)

Actually the nacelles look more like the front end of an ENT Y-class freighter.

Well, in either way, she is not a beauty...
Moving to another topic:
Did anybody identified the ship classes that docked at that new space station at the beginning of Episode 5?
My guess is:
1 Europa-Class type 3 times the Kerala Type
One or two of the Kerala type ships could be Clarke type instead.

So the first AMERICAN to, not go into space, but just make a pissant suborbital flight, gets a class named after him - and then one of the ships of said class is the name of the RUSSIAN who was first actual proper man in space? Charming.
John Eaves confirmed article three hours ago. Bonus points for whoever identifies the living persons, as of today, who’s starships class bears their name.
Eaves indicated that there are other new class ships that have not been released yet.

Are they really letting Eaves name all the shups & classes? Because this guy has the most narrow-minded outlook & naming convention I've seen outside of zhorlord fanboy types.

So all Starfleet classes are named after mostly obscure 20th Century North Americans.So much for diversity.

John Eaves on Facebook has the Dana as Hoover-class and the Ride as Shepard-class.
