 Only the Colonial Viper Mk II had kept its original look from the  original Battlestar Galctica series. The Galactica and the Cylon  Raiders are similar in design but were revamped for the show. The  Cylon Base Star had a completely new design. In the original it  looked like two flattened spinning tops pressed together, now it  actually resembles a star shape. There are only four ships that  appear in the remake but not in the original: "Colonial One" (the  transport used by Laura Roslin), the Olympic Carrier, Cloud 9 and  the ringed passenger liner.
