Huh. Doesn't look like much actual ship, though. I wouldn't really call it Gigeresque, either, on account of not looking at all organic. I mean, you know, it doesn't look like the ribs of a living thing, so much as, like Mr. WizArtist II said, the ribs of a building. (And yet, being a Cylon ship ((or is it?)), it probably is partially organic.) Also it isn't a giant phallus, or a skeleton baby plugged into a breast machine.
Whatever other supply problems the fleet has, they don't have a problem producing detailed ship models at short notice.

What if it's not a cylon ship, what if it's something they've salvaged/captured? Didn't the original show have a funky, spikey, glowy, light-ship?

Looks like some sort a rack where cylon ships can quickly be deployed from like a mobile shipyard. But then again TPTB may pull something from left field and present us with something we never imagined. What I find amazing is that a model for it was made so quickly by the humans. I can understand the models of vipers, cylon fighters, and battlestars being on the display, but if this is a NEW ship, how could they have made a model so quickly especially with limited resources?

Heheh I was thinking the same thing - before I read the rest of this thread. I'd say they have some sort of 3D renderer thing.
ANYWAY - my theory - thought up in about 0.0005 seconds... Maybe it's some sort of communications relay that is maintaining the link between the humanoid cylons and the rest of the cylons.

Of course! A ship-based array that receives uploads from Cylons about to be killed, in effect resurrecting them - an, if you will, "Resurrection Ship."

A fine extrapolation, but if that's the case is it really that big a deal, plotwise? Because presumably it's just there to catch any dying Cylons in the fleet, and not back on the Colonies. (Since if it had the range to reach from the Colonies to the fleet, why not leave it there, or at least keep it at some equidistant point to minimize the risk of discovery?) But then, I don't have any guesses about what's going to happen next, so I guess I can't say what is and isn't important to hypothetical future stories.
I suppose I assumed that the title refered to the Pegasus herself, being, from the Galactica's point of view, a literally resurrected ship, but then that's a slightly but importantly different title, isn't it? Hmm.

That would make sense if the first ep in which the Pegasus appears (or reappears, if you wish) was called "Resurrection Ship," but it wasn't. "Ship Full of Whackjob Rapists Commanded By a Loony" maybe, but not a "Resurrection Ship."

Ah, but perhaps part two ultimately focuses on the fate of the Pegasus in a way part one did not? Or something. And then it is reborn!

So my complete guess just based on it's "antenna/array" look and even though I've only seen up to the end of season 1 is a possible correct assumption!?! WOAH!
