Is the bridge at a funny angle?

[jackoverfull]

Can the bridge be rotated?

I was bummed to see it wasn’t in its correct funny rotation.

 

[DonIago]

So, you're saying it was unfunny? :/

 

[cooleddie74]

So it was a bridge designed by Janeane Garofalo?

Not to beat a dead thread, but if anybody shells out $500 for this, it may answer the question.

"The Playmobil USS Enterprise actually has two play areas hidden inside, one of which is the ship’s bridge accessible by removing the roof of the ship’s saucer section."

It seems the (Playmobil) turbolift is directly behind the Captain's chair, which is fine by me - it was only the practicalities of filming a weekly TV show that required it to be offset in the first place

I was deeply saddened by it!

So everyone assumes. Without Jefferies say-so it remains an assumption.

I have seen it claimed (on a Facebook group, so take that FWIW) that Doug Drexler once asked Matt Jefferies if the viewscreen was off-center and Jefferies was very adamant that the viewscreen faces forward! Which does gel with his aviation background and the symmetry of the ship's exterior design

I wish I could find the original interview but alas...

So given that I (IIRC) made this joke about the Playmobil set about 30 pages ago, does that mean that this thread, while awesome, has . . . COME FULL CIRCLE?

 

[DonIago]

If so then we can figure out how many degrees of offset we're talking about and put an end to this thread once and for all!!!

It's never over.

There it is: Full Circle. The bridge is offset by precisely 360 degrees.

Case closed.

Another mystery solved!

 

[MGagen]

The bridge actually faces forward. It's the ship that travels forward 35.5 degrees askew...
M.

You might be on to something….

And it wasn't even planned like that. During his first mission Captain April accidentally collided with an asteroid. The ship survived mostly undamaged but, aside from the bridge, it was bent into that askew position and couldn't really be put right again (they had to move the turbolift door on the bridge and everything to accommodate that)

A sideslip maneuver

 

[plynch]

Is that the real slide reversed or is it exaggerated?
