I dont know - it bothered me. Even TOS Trek on a shoestring budget occasionally did a new model now and then. I look at the Ravenstar cruisers (really want to kitbash a BIG version of one or two of those!) and think that it couldnt have strained them that much to do something of the sort.
I always thought of the Battlestar as a primary combat ship, like a carrier... but a carrier always has escourt ships - some of which should have come along with the Big G when she pulled out.
