Colonial Capital Ships (WIP)

Thanks to content provided by Spinobreaker and SFAW, I was successfully able to integrate the updated designs of the Galactica, Pegasus, and Valkyrie with the original ships. So currently those are the only 3 ships that have "Acceptable" models beyond the smaller fighters and bombers. Ohhh wait hold on, I forgot, the Hades MK II or New Cylon Baseship also has an updated model with functioning turrets. All 4 of these ships need serious overhauling in order to be balanced out. Currently they are very weak and are easily destroyed, on top of this their weapons are seriously underpowered. I will get to them as soon as possible, however the fighters and bombers are my current priority.
