Title: Brigde Subsystem
Post by: Apothess on October 02, 2001, 12:42:00 pm: Why is the Hatshepsut destroyer the only ship in the game to have a bridge subsystem? even then when you destroy it nowt happens which is a shame cos it would be cool when you destroy it the ship can't function properly due to lack of a command staff.

Wot i was trying to say that why give only one ship a bridge cos i think it would be useful in missions where you where trying to capture a ship or destroy it, without a command staff the ship would really be easy pickins for the attacker.

That's the idea behind the Battle Bridge. And anyway, that's not glass, because glass would be melted in the scene where the saucer smashes into Viridian III while entering the atmosphere. Instead, it just get ripped off at the very end for the cinematic effect (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
