Question Are launch rails present in the remake script?

This has been eating at me for a while; I'm curious if anyone else noticed.

Within the BG remake script, we see Vipers in flight; we see them land.

Do we see them rocketing down the launch tube rails and into space?

I don't recall seeing this in the script, not even when Lee "Apollo" Adama and Co. are doing the flyby during the retirement ceremony. One of the things which I loved about the original series, even as an adult, was the "feeling" and visuals of a Colonial Viper launching. It was a unique trademark of the original show, thanks to the magic of John Dykstra's Apogee team (and Mojo's and Mike McAdams's work within Richard's BG:TSC trailer). I wonder if this was pulled, to lessen potential F/X costs. Or did I miss it within the script?

Michael
