[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] What's in a battle bridge? Who says it has to be a CIC? I mean, the supposed meaning of a battle bridge is simply the bridge where the secondary hull of a seperable starship is controlled. There *is* no other real explanation for why a Galaxy-class starship has one. It's alledgedly a combat-oriented bridge because they would only really use it in combat situations. The main bridge has *always* been larger, able to support more people and therefore more functions. When Jellico took over the E-D, he reconfigured the bridge stations for combat operations. It would make sense to use a larger command centre than to simply go downstairs for a smaller room. The *only* times we've seen the Battle Bridge live or mentioned is when they were going to separate. Hell, in shows where they COULD have gone to the BB, they went to Engineering instead ("Brothers", for one, although it's intrinsically cheaper to use the Engineering set than to tread out the BB set again) and ran the ship from there. No, I'm thinking the Odyssey bridge is just that. Aside from the fact that the dedication plaque is there, I'm guessing it's just a different than the typical bridge as a simple upgrade, despite it looking less like the typical GCS sets we were familiar with. And riddle me this - if you think about it, it's not like the Odyssey bridge is LESS featured than the Enterprise edition. Both feature forward con/ops consoles, a tactical horseshoe, and aft stations. The Odyssey actually had one more aft station than the Enterprise, and they were larger. The only thing the Odyssey probably didn't have was five chairs in the command area - it had two, and probably three, with two non-CO chairs slightly behind Keogh. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
