Bridge Layout guess

[starburst]

The viewscreen is the first time Ive thought "hang on this isnt right", will see what its all about though it may still be a viewscreen which just looks like its a window.

Capt April, you should put that in your sig, would save you alot of time repeating it plus it would then appear on every post you make without you having to type it to express it

I can think of a bunch of things CRA can put in his sig line to appropriately describe himself.

Nothing wrong with my temper. I'm not the one getting bent out of shape over these pictures.

Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment and will die here like rotting cabbages.

I don't know about the implication of the layout, but the implication that these guys haven't got a clue about what they're doing is glaring.

Explain? Please cite reasoning, as opposed to needless and nondescriptive snark intended only to annoy. We've heard that too many times from you already for it to serve any useful purpose.

Temper, temper, Number 6....

And try not to be quite so obvious, OK?

Edit:

Never mind...

Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment and will die here like rotting cabbages.

That's trolling. So warned.

I sense a growing consensus...

Try "counting" instead of "sensing." Dealing in facts instead of wishful thinking will improve your currently unimpressive analytic skills.

wait... looking at that picture of the Sovereign class bridge, I see what appears to be two hostess stations.

Lose Riker and Troi's chairs, streamline the center seat, add an additional station to the rear wall, and it doesn't really look all that different than what we've seen of the new bridge.

I really hate this bridge, it looks like a parody of a sci-fi movie, rather than a serious attempt at what a starship bridge would look like.

I just watched Undiscovered Country again last night. This bridge is remarkably like that bridge. TUC's bridge was all white, except for the computer panels were black. TUC's bridge was very large, with many more people on it than on this historical bridge. TUC's bridge had lights shining down into the actors faces.

Note that to my eyes on my plasma, the bridge looked whiter than on these screen-shots.

I think it DOES look more like other bridges than some are willing to admit. I just did some tinkering. If you add more light to the other bridges, they suddenly don't look so different. Conversely try darkening the new bridge for the same effect. Personally I hope that during red, or even yellow alerts, the inside lights dim. I just don't think the glare from inside lighting is beneficial, in fact it would be a distraction.

When have facts ever stood in the way of this type of fanboy? Even seeing is not believing to some.

And also:

All we need now, is John Madden to draw football plays over the bridge layouts, and make commentary about Brett Fahr.

Madden- Here's Kirk and he's making a pass at the hostess but is intercepted by Spock. Spock brings up some details on the Enterprise and Kirk tries to sideline Spock.

Kirk passes it to Bones and Bones diverts Spocks attention. Kirk makes a beeline to the hostess and TOUCHDOWN!

Also, now that we have pictures... the viewscreen is no longer flat, but curved.

No, you're just getting bent out of shape with people who don't follow your line of thinking.

Well, these new pics don't really change anything in my bridge except that there's now a window (maybe) in the wall in front of the viewer.

It might not be a window, they could've included the saucer rim to help give the audience a clue as to where the bridge is on the ship. Also, to make the bridge less of a disconnected 'set'.

Where the heck is the window on the exterior? It doesn't look like it's on the trailer ENT.

Im not getting bent out of shape at all.

The only think I think is wrong with your idea is why is the viewer (Im guessing its the blue line in front of the helm/nav console) so far away from the front wall of the bridge?

To me from the photos the viewer looks like its part of the wall (unless Im just reading your diagram wrong, if so then sorry)

There was a window (or at least a large black rectangle) on the Enterprise studio model for "The Cage":

Therefore, the window must be there, or certain posters will be unhappy

A large black rectangle I can buy. A window? That's crazy talk!

Some posters will have a problem no matter what... If that black rectangle is the viewscreen/window then it would be to helm/nav's right.. it is off-center.

What exactly are you driving at? The dome? Or that tiny little black rectangle that's almost on the top of the dome?

Anyway, any notion of a front window was quickly rejected when regular production began, plus the notion wasn't really supported at any point (just recheck that first scene on the bridge in "WNMHGB" when Kirk orders the "viewer" to be turned "on.")

Exactly, since the bridge was rotated 36 degrees on the TOS ship.

I never understood where that idea came from, nor the logic behind it.
