You can dock two spaceships via the naked eye, if you have the right instruments. Now yes, if you're expecting any kind of battle, windows are a bad idea. But for civilian ships? They make an effective backup if your sensor package goes down. | |

| Oct 27, 2016 at 10:58 | comment | added | CodesInChaos | In general the no-window version makes the most sense, since you can't too anything using the naked eye, you have to completely rely on instruments. Distances are much too big in relation to craft sizes. (Though movies often depict short distances for dramatic effect) | |

| Oct 27, 2016 at 7:34 | comment | added | Luaan | I'd add that the Battlestar Galactica examples generally make real-world sense as well. You don't want windows on a ship that wants to survive tactical nukes, and you want the bridge in the most defended position on the ship - which means in the center. I don't think they considered submarines as a model, though submarines have very similar reasons for the design. | |
