Is the bridge at a funny angle?

[Tallguy]

More importantly, it would've spared us the grief of the annual "Is the Bridge Offset?" threads around here.

But is the bridge rotated because Starfleet is a military with money?

And their shirts are green not gold.

Is the bridge at a funny angle?

Ho, ho, ho! Yes it is! Ha, ha, ha!

Whenever Kirk swivels his chair, it's actually the rest of the bridge that rotates.

 

[Commander Troi]

Because the Enterprise revolves around him!

 

[NCC-73515]

Brilliant! All is solved, it makes perfect sense!

 

[FormerLurker]

And I still like it sinking into Deck Two.

Is that a euphemism?

No, that means he turned up the gravity plating.

I've found proof that the bridge was set at a 35.5° angle.





See?

Solved! All praise Saint Jeff!

Do we know the ship isn't just tilted on the picture to fit better on the page? Maybe the rest of the ship should be angled.

Captain's log: Using the light speed breakaway factor, the TrekBBS has moved back through time to the twentieth century. We are now in extended orbit around Earth in the year 1968, using our board's deflector shields to remain unobserved. Our mission, historical research. We are beaming down to Hollywood to ask Matt Jefferies if the nub is the turbolift housing.

You also found proof that there is an orthographically challenged person in the world.

Speaking Jung-ily as a person with mild OCD: Kirk, the in-dividuated (un-divided) man sits in the center of the squared circle with animus-logic to his right and anima-passion (McCoy) to his left (the heart side).

This squared circle with the complete human at the center must be in alignment with the ship's center line.

QED The bridge is not at a funny angle.

 

[Captain Crow]

36 degrees isn't a funny angle. It's a... acute one.

 

[DonIago]

I mean, I'm interested. Will a stentorious proclamation that the bridge is either straight or offset change my life? No. Not really. But I'm still here. And I still like it sinking into Deck Two.

How can we know if the bridge is straight? To my knowledge, we never saw it dock with another bridge...

 

[Commander Troi]

Seems to be a bunch of smartasses around here... I love it!

 

[Maurice]

Speaking of the bridge being sunken into the teardrop shape, in this diagram the only full deck in that structure is Deck 2.

Well, the thread's pretty much at that point!

And didn't the TOS Enterprise have 23 decks or was that a later retcon and diagram?
