[QUOTE="TanisFrey, post: 3427297, member: 26948"] yup. they had a nice thick heavy metal plate that slid in front their view port on the OBG. At one point I read something about how the bridge on the the Federation ships being 180' turned about. "in order to reduce the damage of a metor strike" This is BS to me. A section of a ship that become damage in a metor strike will lose O2. This means this section will be lost quickly if you can't find and fix the brech. ooop their goes your comand staff. After reading several of the novels of star trek unverise it appears that the Federation has 3 Groups of Goverment ships. 1) Star Fleet - the explorer/Diplmaot shuttle group. This Group is the best well known. And the one we see in the TV series. 2) Federation Border Gard/Police patrol ship. They ships have be descriped as being very cramped. Much more like a millitary should be. 3) the local systems may have their own "Coast Gard" equivalent. How I see it is, that these 2 other groups allow Starfleet to be idealist. [/QUOTE]
