As far as I can tell, this is our good old friend TMP bridge turned "upside down".
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
Well that's a weird one, having the turbolifts at the front and all. Which part at the back is where those pillars start?
Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :
Well, having the lifts at the front forces the bridge to be moved back along Deck 1 leaving no room for the aft airlock.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Maybe the bridge actually faces aft?
Posted by Russell Christiansen (Member # 1333) on :
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.
Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :
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)
Posted by Captain Boh (Member # 1282) on :
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.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
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.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
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.

Can we get some screencaps of this thing, then, eh?
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
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.
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
I'm watching the TNG episode "The Neutra Zone" and saw the starship that was in the episode "Booby Trap" but silver.
Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :
Uh, the screencap posted recently on the bridge screencap collection thread does not show a circular door or hatch. It does appear circular but both the top and bottom are flattend out.
And I don't think the Promellian battlecruiser model was used in "The Neutral Zone". IIRC, the only new models from that episode were the Romulan warbird and the cryostasis units... the Birdseye, according to Okuda.
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
I don't know, it look circular like the hatch that was shown in ST: First Contact. I actually meant the Constitution Class that was in the holodeck recreation of the drafting room in Utopia Planitia.
Posted by Captain Boh (Member # 1282) on :
There was a Silver Constitution Class in Picard's Readyroom in The Battle as well, probably the Stargazer before they re-dubbed it as a Constillation
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
Yes, but was it the one with the nacelles glued to its sides such as the one in Booby Trap?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Uh, I didn't see a screencap of the Brittain in the other thread. If there is, can someone repost it here? Thanks.
Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
I've got more, but for the most part we're gonna have to wait for TABASCO.

Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
I think the hatch on the T-kovsky was called an "emergency hatch", which would seem to be different from an airlock. Probably a last ditch means of escape for the bridge crew if they were cut off from the rest of the ship. Grab an EVA suit from a storage locker, blow the hatch, and go for a walk.
Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
If so, it'd be the only one - I dunno why they'd have an emergency feature linked directly to the bridge. Even the Sovereign bridge airlock is beyond a normal door.
MARK
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
I think it has the same set up as the Sovereign airlock but a shorter corridor.

Since I'm back from holidays, I might as well finish this beastie... although all that remains are cosmetic changes now... Not that I claim that this is the only true Brattain bridge plan
Regarding those alcoves... as far as I can tell there are no doors and no displays in there. Only those two colums that remind me replicators.
(And guys... I really really really would like to make those seamless panoramas for the Tabasco project. Really.
So, if you have individual pictures, send them to me (kazeite(insert you_know_what here)lexx.eu.org))
Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
I hang my head in shame for not catchign this. Kaz, none of my screencaps are complete enough for a panorama... We'd have to recap one of two possible shots that can do that.
