Location of a 304's bridge?

[Uncle Tobias]

I've been wondering where on the Daedalus the bridge is. At first I thought it was at the very front of the ship, but in a couple of eps we've seen the view from the window out, showing quite a bit of the ship streching on infront of the bridge (allies SG:A, in the company of theives SG-1)

Is it the structure on the back of the ship, where the communications array was in 'The intruder'?

The thing I circled in red is the bridge and in the top pic you can clearly see that the structure right outside is the missile silo's. This would mean that what is directly behind the missile silo's is the bridge.

I always thought it'd be in the superstructure up the back. Interesting. wonder what that thing is anyway?

Maybe someday we'll find out. But what I've provide is the bridge.

[Uncle Tobias]

Thanks! Those pictures show it perfectly too. You can also see a railgun emplacement in both pictures I think.

Isn't that their radar/tracking system up there?

Here's a better shot that actually shows the bridge window itself in plain detail just aft of the vertical missile launchers:



Personally, i'd be willing to be dollars to donuts that the vertical structure towards the aft quarter of the vessel houses the communications and/or sensor array(s).

So that leads to the next question, where was the bridge on the X-303?

mefusta where did you get that pic form ?
and yes the bridge is in the structure behind the missle silo's
the bridge with the x303 is in the big tower

That one of the piture of the douglas I have ever seen.

The rear tower on the left is probably a sensor/comm control tower, notably used for F-302 guidance.

That is, I'm fed up seeing SPACEships only have comm devices on their back and not on their belly or at least on their sides to cover a larger cone.

Frak, those dishes and balls and whatever are only located on the top of your naval ships because there's something called the horizon, the ocean surface.

They still use sonars pointed downwards to scan what below them.

Stop ripping off Star Wars' star destroyer design and actually think about it for a second.

On the photos of the bottom of the Daedalus, I have seen some weird bubbled things that could be communications arrays.

on this picture of a BC-304 i have circled the Bridge, the command centre and the observation platform:

on this design of a BC-303 i have circled the Command Tower and the Bridge:

If you've seen Ethon, you know that the F-302's come out of the side things.
