Bassically, the rocket looks like this in game: However the old model is used by various icons (bassically, every icon in the game that uses a rocket):

1. The "Rocket Silo" technology icon (data/base/graphics/technology/rocket-silo.png):

   (EDIT: fixed in 2.0.24, the icon is now a cargo pod).
3. The "Space Age" icon that shows up in changelogs (and is also used on this forum and the website) (data/core/graphics/icons/space-age.png):

6. The picture at the bottom of the website (but that's not part of the game, so not really a bug):

(The old rocket is nice too, so perhaps it could be kept for the base game, as the space age rocket looks more technologically advanced).

Looks like they changed the rocket looks at the last minute, after all those other graphics with the old rocket look were alreay finished.

To be fair, the "new" rocket is just the old one with a few bits strapped on the top.

Hence my suggestion to keep the old model for the base game, as that rocket is less advanced (e.g. it only has 1 car slot, whereas in space age it has 20)
However, the extra 'bits' make the top of the rocket look totally different, so it is very noticable.

+1 keep iconic old focket for base game please.
