Well that's a weird one, having the turbolifts at the front and all. Which part at the back is where those pillars start?

This was one of the more unusual bridge designs. Although there could be just one turbolift leading to the bridge a la the Reliant in "Star Trek II."
The viewscreen was obviously the Battle Bridge viewscreen from the Ent-D (which has been used as the viewscreen for MANY bridges).

Mabye their aft airlock is just a door that vents directly into space like on the Vico?
For when the bridge crew really pisses you off.

Of course it wasn't evident by the view of the bridge's aft wall.
BTW, it was the Tsiolkovsky with the airlock door on the bridge itself (which made very little sense given the structure of the bridge superstructure of the Oberth class)

Was the airlock ON the bridge, or was the airlock just opened and the area it was in wasn't pressure sealed from the bridge? I haven't seen the episode in too long, and all I've of this airlock was an open hatch on a screen.

He's right it was the Tsiolkovsky, and it was'nt an airlock at all: just a holodeck-looking door that lead directly out into space and it was right there: on the bridge.
Smaaaart.

Excellent work, Jan! I think you've done quite a job.
Is it possible that those side "rooms" off the bridge could contain auxilliary access doors or something? It seems kind of odd that they contained only a generic console.
In any case, this is the ONLY instance that we see the bridge of a "standard" Miranda-class starship (Lantree was a freighter, and Saratoga was similarly rollbar-less). While Br!ttain was called a science vessel, one wonders if the bridge we see here is something approximating the bridge of a TNG-era Miranda. That is, if ships like Sitak, Majestic and Shir Kahr have the same bridge.
There's nothing to suggest that this is the case (Reliant and the ST4 Saratoga had different bridges but were identical from the exterior - but were the same set at least), but it would be fun to think that there would be SOME standards running between ships of the same class in the same era...

Speaking of the Reliant bridge, having the turbolift directly aft gives little room for the airlock it's suppose to have on Deck 1 just aft of the bridge.

The ol' Turbolift into the airlock gag for the new crewmen...... Just space them for a second or two and the transport them back inside!
A world of fun.

The Tsiolkovsky's airlock doors are circular actually, similar to the door Picard and company used to exit the Enterprise-E in First Contact. From what I saw, there's the door to the airlock then the airlock itself.

I'm watching the TNG episode "The Neutra Zone" and saw the starship that was in the episode "Booby Trap" but silver.
