I noticed in all the close up shots it was the Colonial shuttle, and they stayed close camera range so the effect wouldn't be lost of it being an other type of ship. It also looks like the ship was repainted., or just low light while filming.
On an other point, the pit in the prison area, does any one know if that is on Universal's lot? I see the concreted area in many show, like A Team, and most recently Invasion just a few weeks ago.
