Yes. We know how Ops looks like in DS9. But that is Cardassian design. Ops of federation design starbase can be like that.

Thank you for sharing. I agree with all his points.
For some reason a window on the bridge is unfathomable for reasons I find rather silly.
Not until somebody posted a pic of it on the previous page. That version is less obnoxious--there appears to be more separation between the couch and consoles, and the couch is centered in such a way that people sitting in it don't completely block the view of (or our view of) people sitting at the consoles.
Yeah they claimed in the video that the exterior shot of the hatch somehow proved the ship is smaller than 560meters
Additional info from Blass.
The Trekyards virgins can fuck off.
The bodies did make it look like the ship was Constitution-sized, but that’s hardly unprecedented. The JJPrise and the Cerritos have both had smaller scales used in certain shots for clarity or consistency.
Yeah if they made the body of vadic to proper scale with the Titan they would have been limited to close up shots instead of the final satisfying spectacle we got of her flying out of the bridge into open space. F*cking solids..... That scene was priceless.
There probably aren't any Galaxy Class ships around by 2401 and it pains me deeply to say it. The nature and circumstances of the Federation has changed since the 2260s: no more families and civilians on starships after the borg threat and dominion conflicts. The Ross class is a pretty close replacement, it's even possible they are refit Galaxy class ships. It makes sense to reduce the mass of the saucer from an elipse to a circle to increase maneuverability and get rid of all those civie rooms.
Oh please don't start that "refit" malarkey again
My head-canon is that the Ross-class was a somewhat stripped-down design built to do the stuff the Galaxy-class was actually doing inside Federation space so the Galaxies could go out on the ten-year missions they was designed for instead of ferrying ambassadors and helping out with science projects.
Yeah, Blass' arguement is perfectly reasonable.
I think folks also forget that the 1701-D had a giant skylight, and that was never a problem. I'm also reminded of the scene from First Contact when Picard comes on the bridge and then they activate the viewer, which means that everyone was just staring at a blank wall for God knows how long, lol.
They've flirted with the "the viewscreen turns off" idea a few times (all the way back to "Where No Man Has Gone Before," I think, and as recently as the beginning of this season where Shaw arrives on the bridge and has to tell someone to turn the screen on), and it never makes sense with the design of the bridges set up so the screen is the centerpiece of the room. Especially once TNG started and they started biasing bridges so that everyone would be facing forward instead of towards the outer walls, so they were easier to get on-camera. If there room is going to be that shape, there should always be something on the big screen, important stuff that everyone needs to be able to check at a glance.
I've said that, a viewscreen should have information, like Course, Speed, ETA to next location, time, alert level Etc.
But if its showing, well nothing but warp (tunnel.. ugh) Stars .. there's nothing to see anyways.
BUUTT!!
They didn't use the "Bridge Window" in the nebula, they had people looking out windows, but they didn't open the bridge window, it was still the viewscreen.. They saved the bridge opening for the blowout..
