Did I just find an easter egg?
So, I was playing with the zoom setting increased and just spot this on a trading post. Are my eyes deceiving me, or does it say "Back off"? Funny devs :D

There's an easter egg in the old 1970's BattleStar Galactica TV movie where when the Cyclons are attacking Caprica and you see their ships diving on the city (looks suspiciously like Los Angeles), that the building lights spell Back Off. Except the word isn't Back.

Good eye, though!

It definitely is. Later I used the camera rotation mod to get a better look at other trading post and you can clearly see that it is written "back off" :)
I can take a better screenshot, or you can take a look yourself.
Maybe this is a reference to the series.

There are also other signs on the other faces of the trading post that might be references (I don't remember what they say). I'll take more screenshots, maybe you might know if those are references as well.
