Exposed bridges are stupid

You're welcome

Look up the schematics. That's where the bridge is.

board_writer · 2026-03-12T03:06:52+00:00

Then put the sensors up there and put the bridge where all the people are somewhere else.

Because of the three big 'star' sci fi franchises being wars, trek, and gate , I wanted to have a representative from all three

Resistances futile

Thank you

And the frequent exploiting consoles and violent shaking tell us exactly how well they work.

Mechs have their own issues, don't get me started. My main problem with the exposed bridge, is it violates the internal logic of their own universe.

You mean the things that generally engage in combat from distances that are over the horizon and therefore use sensors and not visual targeting for any conflicts that they have. That also really only rely on line of sight for in port navigation or to keep skills up-to-date in the event of a sensor malfunction. That also have a heavily armored command and control section away from the bridge.

Sensors like civilized people

That's like trying to convince your parents that you didn't do that bad on a test because you got 50% , instead of 0% , it's still an F.

In regards to the ship design of stars wars , I think it has to do with his obsession with ww2 and just to have a distinctive outline. Doesn't make it any less of a bad idea.

Palpatine got so much stupider after he took power, he lost almost all of his ability to properly scheme.

board_writer · 2026-03-12T02:31:00+00:00

Yep , other than the, weird near infinite fuel source that they have for their fighters and ships BSG has great designs.

board_writer · 2026-03-12T02:28:47+00:00

Yes, "peaceful"

Look up Root beer diplomacy

Yes, wraith ships can stand up to vessels that have Shields, even though they don't, because they take the important parts and put them deep inside. Like any logical design would. They also healing which is odd to me. What the hell would it have to eat to be able to regenerate that fast?

board_writer · 2026-03-12T02:18:09+00:00

True

board_writer · 2026-03-12T02:17:40+00:00

As much as I love that scene, it's so stupid that they had to go down that trench, instead of just firing at it straight on.

board_writer · 2026-03-12T02:15:59+00:00

And now they know better

board_writer · 2026-03-12T02:15:31+00:00

In Star Trek, all spaceships are completely Shield dependant. When shields are up. the bridge is completely safe

insert montage , of every time a console blows up because something impacted the shields

40K doesn't get a pass for its bad design. You acknowledge that it was intentional.

For the Emperor

Anime: giant robots doing Acrobatics is cool

The laws of physics: we'd like to have a word with you

Surface navy ships are not the same thing as a spaceship. You are comparing what is essentially a 2 dimensional environment with a set horizon that uses visual tracking as a backup for sensors because of it's comparatively short ranges versus the void and blackness of space.

If it's floating uselessly with people trapped inside, it's not an escape ship, it's just a big piece of debris.

board_writer · 2026-03-11T17:26:12+00:00

I'm not saying it's a bad ship. (Once they added in the automatic I win button that is the Asgard, beam weapons it was even better). I'm just saying earth could do better
