Looks like you can choose to play as a Cylon now, too. Cooool. Hope this doesn't bloat the near flawless base game.

Will an open Cylon Leader be able to vent the last remaining humans into space, giving the toasters control over the galaxy?
Th real question: Will we finally be able to toss the damn Cylons out of the airlock?

Admiral Kane better be a playable character. And Hot Dog.

There it is then, both of my wants for two expansions bundled together- Pegasus and New Caprica.

Agreed. If this is clever, it won't try to force the IMHO very tight, fully realized gameplay in the original into anything else. I think that game is almost perfected--adding *different* gameplay elements is the only thing that would really help the game IMHO. Take for example, the Pegasus--having rivalry between the ships and having different goals for both crews would create a completely different tension on top of annihilation by the Cylons.
Glad to see they aren't just doing a "add more cards!" expansion. I just don't see that being a super fruitful avenue of expansion because I like the original so much.

It did make me a little sad, though, since it means the Cosmic Encounter expansion is coming out even LATER than fall. :'-(

It'd be pretty cool if they had a "Fat Lee" character you could play though.
I'm very, very glad they didn't do the "more cards" expansion that they could have and they've actually added significant game material. I do hope that it doesn't interfere too much with the core game, which is practically perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Well of course she will. Her ship is a main feature of the expansion, she's on the box cover, and she even trades friendly banter with Adama in the preview. That's a done deal to me.

Seven new characters... So who do think they'll be? Assuming they're going only as far as season 3 (early), I'm guessing the following:
Cavil
Admiral Cain
Anders
Gaeta
Six (or Caprica Six)
Ellen Tigh
Kat
Some of those seem like locks (Cavil and Cain, duh), but a few are definitely "iffy", especially when there are others like Leoben, D'Anna, Tory, Doc Cottle and Romo Lampkin (if they go that far) who could make good characters. I think it's also possible that they could make another role for Sharon Valeri, that's not "Boomer", or rather, one that definitely is "Boomer", a known Cylon from the start of the game (if that's even how the Cylon Leader characters work, which I think will be the case). I suppose there might be one more Pegasus character involved, considering the focus on that, though after Cain I don't really think of any of the other Pegasus characters as being that notable, so I kind of hope that's not the case.
Apparently, this has been named as being the "first expansion" to BSG, so presumably there will be at least one more. **SPOILER** If they're generally following the series as it played out, I could see a future expansion having entirely new roles for characters like Anders, Tigh, Chief, Starbuck, etc.
