To which ship-class does this bridge design belong?

Y'know...I think that might be the Prometheus. Not that quad-engined (Sex-engined? Fun, but no...HEX-engined!!) abomination from "Message In A Bottle," but the Nebula-class one from DS9s2 "Second Sight." There was a scene or 2 with Sisko, Seyetik, & the ship's captain on the bridge...but I don't think the XO & "mission specialist" seats were there.

It could be the Ent-D as seen in Generations or All Good Things...
I know that in one of those two they added the stations on the side.

And what is wrong with the Prometheus?

Are there 3 stations/seats in the middle of the Prometheus-Bridge?

No. There's only one seat in the center of the Prometheus bridge.

I cannot recall ever seeing a bridge with it's tactical console in that location... But there are three bridges that I've never seen. I have seen a schematic of the Nebula Prometheus, however, and that bridge isn't it. So I'll say it's either the Saratoga or the Odyssey.

Do you have pics of these 2 bridges?

Nope. If I had pics I would have seen them, no?

It's not the Saratoga....ref. page 7 of "The Making Of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" by the Reeves-Stevens (AKA "The Wonder Twins"). There's a bunch of production drawings there for sets for the first 2 episodes; among them is the Saratoga bridge; not square or rectangular...it's atually rather..um, "head-shaped."

It's a question from a quiz, and I don't know exactly if it is realy squared. This could be a simplification.

I'd have to say this is the pitifully cramped bridge of the USS Sutherland from "Redemption". Remember, Data and his XO bickering? His XO was always just to the side of his chair. And those design sketches of the Nebula class were on screens on the sides.

Sorry, don't understand the meaning of this sentence.
