Ok this is confusing.

How are they going to make it an MMO in a universe where there is only one capital ship (Galactica) and everyone else is... what? running around as a marine, as a viper/raptor pilot?

Kinda limits any kind of character progression I'd say.

I'm going to give it a try simply because I loved the show.  I don't really expect much out of it.

Runs in your browser? iicccckky

Well I took a look at it, wasn't a very long look though.

Well that didn't take long, interface is ok.
But the huge lags between pressing a key and any action happening is terrible.
More or less typical for browser type games.

It was virtually impossible to precisely get your nose on target.
Might be fine for 9 yr olds, but doubt it will fly with the flight sim crowd.

Also didn't like the fact that it automatically fired guns for you.

Months of programing time, tons of bandwidth, wasted on something that looks good, but plays terrible.

Sorry Dicho, I liked the BSG series as well but to me this one bites.

I gave it a shot.

Its not horrible, but its not great.  Its something to goof around on when things are slow at work or during lunch breaks, but I wont be going home and logging on it. 

Good time killer, thats about it.
