New

Support for the Ghost Fleet Offensive DLC, which includes a new campaign, Colonial and Cylon ships and Cylon munitions.
Ghost Fleet Offensive campaign (DLC). A new 10-mission campaign. Colonial Fleet looks like it is winning the war, but a series of events draws the curtain back to reveal the real conflict happening behind the scenes. Separated from Colonial Fleet, Galactica faces new challenges as it joins the infamous Ghost Fleet Offensive.
New Colonial Ships (DLC)
Orion-class frigate. Fast, all-rounder frigate with a suite of stealth technologies. It features light armaments, munitions launchers and Viper launch tubes. It was once called the “pocket battlestar” due to its failed attempts to fulfill the role of a much larger and better equipped capital ship.
Defender-class support. A support ship of Gemenese origin featuring a fast turnaround resupply bay for squadron groups. Moderately armed and armoured, it is often deployed with battlestar groups as a marine detachment support centre.
New Cylon Ship (DLC)
Medusa-class. A technologically advanced command ship lined with point defense cannons. It features the R-TPAM (Remote Transmission Processing Augmentation Matrix) system, which gives nearby Cylon vessels a notable overclocking bonus.
New Cylon Munitions (DLC)
Cluster Nukes. It's in the name.
Virus Mines. A deployable mine the hacks any units that come within range, causing subsystem damage and loss of functionality
New difficulty level - Fleet Admiral.
Various mechanics, including reinforcements, enemy ship quantities, resupply costs and more have been used to create the most challenging Battlestar Galactica Deadlock experience yet.

Cinematic browser. Rewatch the opening and closing cutscenes from completed campaigns.
The visualisation of weapon firing missing has been improved, with more variation of miss point locations.
Leadership is the Officer value that has an effect on their fleet’s posture. Leadership is now clearly displayed in the Officer screen.
Officer skills are now displayed during the pre-battle phase, in the Warroom/CIC, and by hovering over the officer portrait during battles.
Veterancy bonus are now displayed in the Codex for Colonial ships.
Cylon Threat level now has an effect on reinforcements during resource missions. The effect can be seen in the Cylon Threat panel when Cylon Threat levels have increased.
Middle-mouse can now be used to pan the camera.
Fighter DRADIS icons in the battle are now longer shown during the launch turn.
Double-clicking on a ship will select all ships of the same class. (This is configurable option)
Added a delay when a focus fire target is destroyed before the next target is selected.
Consolidation of munitions of the same type when returned to a Celestra.
Added support for two more squadron groups (i.e. preset squadron groups increased from 4 to 6)
Made muting audio optional when the game is minimized
Added more tooltips for the music player
Made the default timer for multiplayer matches 180 seconds
