[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Piloting a ship there isn't a problem (that's what auto docking is for) the problem is that any travel pod sat there would effectively block the EVA airlock opposite, making it rather redundant. I think the reasoning behind having airlocks on bridge modules is that they are effectively separate spacecraft that can in theory (though we've never seen it) eject away and act as a lifeboat for the bridge crew. This is possibly more a feature used in the trial run of a ship, where the crew is relatively small and the chances of something going wrong are slightly greater. Also for rescue operations it would be useful to have exterior access to the bridge in the event that it is physically cut off from the rest of the ship and transporting isn't an option. Of course it's also essential if the bridge crew need to evacuate to another part of the ship in the absence of jefferies tubes, the turbo lift and transporters. So what I'd suggest is you make that cavity much more shallow and have just one aft facing airlock, or just more it so it's on the outer curved edge of that same compartment. [/QB][/QUOTE]
