I always thought that it was the computer adjusting the view for the crew. I mean its not a window its a screen.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
I think it's both.
Btw, the klingon ships are made for atmospheric maneuvers?
Why wouldn't they meet nose to nose? It wouldn't make sense not to
Why would there even be a nose? From the human perspective, it all depend on which wall the view screens are on. From the outside, maybe there’s a requirement for propulsion. There’s no reason they need to be the same, nor any reason ships are “streamlined”. I don’t see why they’re not all like Borg Cubes or Globes
When I run into other ships in space games I usually orient myself to be head on with them. Unless I'm trying to murder them, then I try to go wherever their guns aren't. Maybe Star Trek just skips showing that part.
Artificial gravity only works if you keep your ship flat.
