The Draconia was okay. They do get some points for making the fighters look
very similar to the Draconia itself, same color and shape.

But take those points right back because the plot of the movie
had it that there was supposed to be no connection between those
"pirate" fighters and the peace envoy of the Draconians.

Yeah, but that's sloppy writing and/or producing. The fighters did come
from the Draconia.

Looking at that site, there's some decent ships, but nothing great. A few
decent kitbashes, for instance. A friend thinks that they were clearly
influenced by Gerry Anderson's stuff, with bright colors, particularly
yellow, for ships.

I'm surprised by how many ships they reused from Battlestar Galactica. I
did not realize that they did that many.

Can we say that Galactica had the superior ships? I think that they had a
lot of money to build the initial "ragtag fleet," but were their later ships
any good? I did like the Eastern Alliance patrol ship, for instance...
