Where excatly is the bridge on an omega?
Is it in the rotating section? Just curious?
Also it seems the boards have slowed down just a biit I'm trying to get everyone thinking again. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

The Excaliber class? I ignore that. It's not human enough in design. Infact, it waaay to radical comapared to any race's ships. Yeah, I'm slightly bigotous on this issue, but it's got some big mistakes in it's design compared to the main series's vessels (such as why is the central transport tube pressurised?)
I imagine that the Omega classes' bridge is in the centre of a rotating arm, with a secondary command in the other.
Hyperion Cruser - little else room, considering the starfury bays (also called cobra?), weapon systems and jump engine. Also, with a ship that small, it doesn't really matter. And naval tradition, I guess.
Narn Cruser - Narn naval traditions, no room inside for it after jump engine and weapons, so thin it wouldn't add much protection anyway.
Centuri cruser - as for the rest.
[b]Or the Vorlon Dreadnaught, or the Narn Cruser, or the Hyperion Cruser, or the Centuri cruser (Emporor's Chambers)?[/b][/quote]To be fair, none of those ships may have their bridge where you think they are, just because they have towers etc does not mean the bridges are there.

Well, we can guess quite accurately about the Hyperion class, as the episode where they first discover epsilon 3's secret shows it's commander in a rather ridged looking chair (ie, isn't free to rotate). Thus it's safe to assume it's fixed looking out of a main window, thus it has to be on the exterior. Logically, this would point in the direction on travel.[/B][/quote]Not really, in 'In the Beginning' showed the full view of the bridge. The captain sits in the middle on a large swivel chair with the crew around him at their stations. As for the chair looking ridged it probably has a lock mechanism to stop him spinning around (due to Zero-G) when he doesn't want too.
Anyway the Bridge has no windows at all so theres no logical reason for it to be on the tower.
As for an Omega, I would expect it to be in the rotating section where the gravity is closest to standard Earth gravity, which would probably be about halfway down the height of the rotating section.

When I'm watching the series in order (like now), I watch that after series 4. So I'm about 10 episodes away from that one. I'll get back to you then. But in the 'epsilon 3' episide I was talking about, the captain's chair was up against a wall.

If anyone takes a look at the standard issue freighters in First and Second seasons, you'll recognize that Disk as the Bridge and living spaces for pilots and crew.
Why someone would put that on the hyperion model is beyond me... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

By the way, in the H/M first contact, exactly what you discribe happened to the Hyperion.
