Bigpoint announced today that Battlestar Galactica Online "has surpassed five million registered players worldwide since its February launch," following the space combat MMO taking home the title of "Best European Browser Game" at the European Games Award last month.

Bigpoint also used the press release to reveal some new ships that will soon be coming to the game. A new line of Fleet Recon ships will become available for both Colonial and Cylon players this month, while the Brimir Class Carrier is scheduled to launch this fall. The carrier's "size, complexity, and impact on game balance must be optimized before its general release."
