	The physical appearance of the ''Mercury'' class is different than that of the original battlestar.

These are also more "boxy" in appearance than those of the original. The [[flight pod]]s also appear to have two entrances each, above and below the mid-line. Combined with computer assisted landing, this gives the ''Mercury'' class a faster rate of Viper recovery than ''{{RDM\|Galactica}}''.

	The shape of the ''Mercury'' class resembles the [[Battlestar Galactica ~~(TOS)~~\|Original Series]] [[battlestar (TOS)\|battlestar]] more than the Re-imagined Series' ''[[Galactica (RDM)\|Galactica]]''. Its engine pods number eight, compared to ''Galactica'''s six engine pods. The pods aboard the ''Mercury'' class battlestar appear more directly integrated with its rear section, and its flight pods share the original angular shape.

	The visual effects artist of the re-imagined ''[[Pegasus (RDM)\|Pegasus]]'', Jose A. Perez, has commented that, "The new design was somewhat of a cross between the look of the [[TOS\|old class]] [[battlestar (TOS)\|battlestars]], and yet with elements of the [[Galactica (RDM)\|new one]]. Aside from that, it has mostly hull plating (to absorb more damage) , as opposed to the ''[[Galactica (RDM)\|Galactica]]'' which has more ribbing."

	The gun batteries on the ''Mercury'' class are arranged very differently from ''Galactica''{{'\|s}}. Where as ''Galactica''{{'\|s}} large guns are clustered along her top side, with secondary batteries concentrated along the flight pods, the guns of the ''Mercury'' class are found all over the ship {{TRS\|The Captain's Hand}}. The greatest concentration of large turrets are found along the side of the ship, within the valley created by the upper and lower halves of the hull, including the flight pods. Four are mounted on the underside of the upper hull on the ship's bow, below which sits four non-turreted large guns; these form the main forward batteries. Two more turrets are mounted on the front and back of each flight pod. The ''Mercury'' class's secondary guns are distributed all over the ship and do not clearly emerge from the hull like ''Galactica''{{'\|s}}.
