Can my Galactica model have retractable and functional landing bay's?
I didn't even realize it was, since I've never seen it utilized.  Memo to campaign gurus: get cracking! :D

Um, Arjuna wing in "Playing Judas" enters the Lucifer's docking bays.  If you don't go straight for the docking bay as soon as you're ordered to, but instead pull back and wait, you will see Arjuna wing entering the docking bay of the Lucifer.

it would be nice if fighters would enter the bay level with the cap ship. it just looks wierd the way they fly in now.

I think what Nuke means is that fighters have a tendency to "land" on flat fighterbay surfaces at really odd angles.  So if they should be landing on an Orion's landing strip, they are more often upside down or on their sides.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

yea, the fighter should enter at a set roll angle rahter than whatever it happens to be when if ligns up with the path points.

Second that. Would be nice if we could get a workaround for this landing behaviour.
