I was just wondering…Does anybody have ANY idea about what the “Roll Bar” was for on the modified version of the Valkyrie class Battlestar? This class is admittedly the smallest known Battlestar class, but it is also the coolest looking. With all of the sharp profiles of this Battlestar, it totally looks “cooler” than all of the rest, but surely this roll bar thing has a purpose other than to add to its coolness. Off of the top of my head, I’m thinking that it could be some sort of mounting system for various modular systems…Maybe a serious rail gun, maybe a sensor array, like with present day AWACS planes, maybe a use it and lose it missile pod, maybe it’s for placing remote sensors, landing bays, or what ever in remote locations, maybe some sort of docking mechanism for ships that are too small to fit in its landing bays, maybe some sort of docking mechanism for holding lots of’em at a star base, etc. It HAS to be more than some sort of cheesy armor thing, since it doesn’t cover much, and would be easily bypassed. Please…WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS!?!?!?!? That sucker HAS to serve SOME sort of purpose!!!! Your input much appreciated! I'm TOTALLY Curious! Your ideas or research VERY welcome!
So say we all!
