I would guess you mean the D or E?

Yeah, when I read that article I felt the laziness of the author in pointing out flaws that are known to every fan of the original series.

No i mean the J, i greatly doubt that has any design flaws but yeah the D and E don't have any of the flaws listed either.

True. The Reliant is also without flaws.

When i play space engineers, i design my ships similar to star trek ships, that includes the bridge being on top of the saucer section as well.
Iv gone through combat against other players ships and my bridge has rarely been targeted or even hit. Its easy to position the ship to make the bridge a harder target to hit.

But this aint Space engineers, i suppose in the star trek universe Starfleet would have made some assurances against such an event, extra armour, structural integrity fields or extra shielding a possibility, it can reduce the bridge's vulnerability if it was to be targeted.

If I recal that was a direct hit from a weapon that only destroyed a small section of the bridge (Compared to the damage delt from a hit anywhere else on the ship) And they had emergency forcefields in place as well which proves Starfleet had at least thought about it, who cares if you lose a redshirt in the process. :guffaw:

It could be possible that yes the bridge is exposed, but maybe measures were taken to reduce the severity if it was hit... That scene from ST:Enterprise took multiple hits followed by 3 hits simultaneously before the bridge blew out.

:shrug: Im just sayin...
