Why do fictional star ships have an external bridge with a vunerable window when they could have an internal bridge with a main viewer that views only what external camera's display?
Why do fictional star ships have an external bridge with a vunerable window when they could have an internal bridge...

Because windows are the best defense against stealth ships
Nicholas Flores
This is mainly a problem in star trek and not many other shows desu.
In pic they are clearly using an eternal camera, its not a window. And the bidge is set quite deep into its position and probably the most heavily armoured part of the ship anyway, since its so small it would be economical to armour it.
Christopher Walker
Pretty sure it's a viewscreen not a window.
Liam Green
And why don't they have any seatbelts?
Austin Clark
What was their tax policy?
Zachary Mitchell
7% VAT on transparent aluminum.
Xavier Evans
Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica doesn't have this problem.
Brody Campbell
There are 2 bridges, also real ships have the same thing on a bridge
Brody Reyes
Actually, you fucking casual, that IS a screen with a camera view. That’s how they enhance and zoom shit. When they want to see stuff out of the window (which they usually make Geordi La Forge do because he’s got SCIENCE VISION), they have to go to a separate room with a window.
Isaiah Murphy
Was it only a real window with Star Trek Beyond or did it also happen in Generations or whatever?
Thomas Stewart
That’s not a window.
Justin Kelly
There’s a main bridge with a view screen and a battle bridge with a window. Ships that are cloaked can often still be seen with the naked eye.
Robert Barnes
I'm not so sure about Voyager, but no, they didn't have any real windows on the bridge.
Jacob Perry
the most logical place for a bridge is in the core of the ship, where it is best protected
Aiden Cook
It's a problem in Star Wars too
Oliver Lopez
Drei meter dickes Terkonit is the only logical solution.
William Reed
The viewscreen is literally just a TV, behind it is armor plating. You can watch it in voyagers year of hell when it gets BTFO and crazy cathy crashes the ship...again.
Trek ships have 2 bridges, a normal one and a smaller emergency ops center in the central superstructure, they can also route controls to engineering
Luke Edwards
Sorry user, but now all bridges have giant glass windows as a view screen. Star trek is dead after JJ and his friends got their hands on it.
Robert Wilson
Who?
Gabriel Anderson
star wars isnt sci fi its fantasy, they can do what they want. It doesnt matter how stupid it is.
James Smith
yep i though so too
Angel Taylor
In Star Wars' defense, they actually use windows, not a viewscreen, so it makes sense that the bridge is exposed.
Jacob Phillips

Owen Morgan
>JJ and his friends
Yeah, no. Those don't count.
Anthony Gutierrez
Owen Brown
Reminder that Felix Gaeta did nothing wrong, and they still fucked him over. Bastards.
Jacob Cook
Because this. (Geth Dreadnought)
Dude knew what he was talking about.
Also as this dude said, that is clearly a viewscreen, it's the back of the ship. And they don't have any bridge windows in star trek. Just in people rooms and 10forward. Why do you think the captain always says "onscreen".
Bentley Cook
It’s not a window it’s a view screen.
Aiden Allen
you will die with nothing
Cameron Diaz
Born with nothing, die with nothing, what have you lost? NOTHING.
Joshua Mitchell
Into the airlock you go
Nicholas Wood
When I was a kid, I didn't realize the Enterprise bridge was actually the very tip-top of the saucer section. This is probably the single worst place to put the bridge.
