There is a minor issue when a Jupiter Class jumps in and opens its flight pods. The ship name textures are immediately in opened positions floating in space (you can see this on the attached screenshot). They are somehow left out from the otherwise cool flight pod animation. This looks really odd, thus it should be fixed. After all this is the Jupiter Class.
Related to this I have a suggestion. It would be cool if we had the opportunity to open and close the flight pods manually because they are iconic elements of Jupiter Class battlestars. Perhaps this option could have some tactical influence. I assume Jupiter Class battlestars retract their flight pods before FTL jumps because of better structural integrity. That means that the ship is actually stronger, at least at the sides, when pods are closed. That could be a tactical opportunity at the cost that the vipers are unable to land. Of course, it should not affect the launch of vipers since Galactica launched vipers with closed flight pods during the “Adama Maneuver”. The retrievable flight pods might also have a role in connection with the emergency jump, which according to the roadmap is on the radar.
Keep up the good work.
So say we all!
