OK, I know the point has been clarified but... heh:
Yes, the bridge ejection modules aren't for actually escaping using the bridge, but rather swapping bridges in say spacedock. A good example is the difference between the E-A's bridges from Star Trek: IV to Star Trek: V and then to Star Trek VI.
Also, why the Yamato and the Enterprise can have identical bridges but then the Odyssey doesn't.
Where EXACTLY on a Vor'cha is the bridge though... I'm picturing a less 'dirty' bridge than the BOP's or the larger flag ship - whatits name...

That would be the Negh'var (sp), the ship the late Gowron used to attack DS9 in "Way of the Warrior." And what's wrong with using the bridge as a possible way to escape? The Klingon reason I can understand, but the rest...
The current ST: The Magazine shows diagrams of the DS9 Prommenade, not the actual set. But the diagrams are different from the ones in the DS9 Tech Manual.

FWIW, the Galor Class alledgedly is the same shape as a critter called the Galor which is what the Cardassian symbol is in the shape of. All too convenient for me, but that's what they say.

Well the idea of the Galor class ships being based on an animal design IS similar to the Romulan way...
Also, speaking of that detachable cardassian 'bridge' I think its the DS9 Tech manual that mentions that the half circle part at the front actually can detach like a saucer on a Federation starship.

Because a ship is a prototype doesn't make it the first one... It would make sense to use an experimental spaceframe that has probably been cut aprt and re-gammawelded to switch out defective components, etc...
Starfleet/Federation is kinda centered around their appearances... I feel that they'd want a totally new ship, freshly out of the construction pod to represent the latest in Starfleet ship design.
*phew*...I've lost my edge...took me five minutes to put together those paragraphs! I miss my home internet... ;..(
