Atlantia Bridge

Post by Bishop37 » Tue Jun 04, 2013 9:36 am

I never realised it before, but watching the BG movie blu-ray, it occurred to me that the Atlantia Bridge is configured differently to the Galactica's.

In the attached picture, the two men are at what is the at the helm control on the Galactica and that control faces the viewport into space on that ship, yet on the Atlantia, the viewport is behind them!

Wild stuff! Good eye.
Perhaps the Atlantia has two viewports?
... isn't the carpet a different color too?

:huh: Where are you Blackstar guys... we Cylons only know how to blow up Battlestars not how they are on the inside. ;)

The Atlantia wall panels also do have different markings / colors compared to the standard grey ones aboard the Galactica:

Additionally, here's what Chris Pappas has written on the different Atlantia bridge configuration:

Lots of changes to the Galactica bridge to represent that Atlantia; extra rivet strips, the elevated platform rotated more than 90 degrees clockwise, platform monitors removed and holes covered with paper (for explosions), rear star map replaced by window which inexplicably shows stars) and extra vacuform panels laying around. Not shown, colors added to vacuform panels and pit stations that were covered.

I think you solved it, Red Eye. The photo you posted has stairs leading down - and a viewport too. Bishop37's photo has stairs going up to a viewport.

Unless it is the rotation - then there has to be two, if not more viewports on the Atlantia bridge. Or the set designer was drunk one day - lol ;)
Cool stuff!

But it's useless to care about the Atlantia bridge... it's all turned to dust now thanks to the Atlantia Death Squadron! :twisted: *Joke*
