Windows on starships

All I know is that it was a high-end, but not uncommon option in a number of GM cars - and I had no issues with visibility. I loved it, and I found it kept my LOS focused more on the road than without it.

Strange, yet rather cool.

Although I would like to know whether a) the speedo in the first one is set to kph for some obscure reason, or b) the nut behind the wheel's a fucking idiot.

Ugh. The Scion version (the second clip) is FAR more distracting than the one I had in my Pontiac.

No, I don't think it was. 100 mph looked about right for how fast the road was going by at the start. 100 kph would only be 62, and he sure looked to be doing above that to me.

About windows on starships, I was just looking at the Kelvin and realized it had ZERO windows apart from the bridge window.

Anyone else notice this?

Hmm... you seem to be right. Maybe they did that to make the ship look more primitive.

Also, the TMP refit saucer doesn't seem to have a whole lot of windows, except the bridge module. The original TOS enterprise has more windows than the TMP version, on the TMP their all on the engineering hull and neck.

Starship design and evolution in reverse. Gotta love it.

Huh?

They make less sense as time goes forward.
