[brandomack]

It's just set decoration, like said before, its a cover for sulu's coffee table so they could re-purpose the set.

saves a good quarter million i'd say.

non-essential displays for the helm officers that they have to turn around to use.

Exsplains why we saw Sulu look backwards from the helm ever so often, maybe helmsmen use this display when they put the starship in reverse.

I was thinking a hologram only seen from the captains chair, and invisible from any other angle.

It's the corbomite device.

It's an emergency equipment locker. That way the Shat can have all the cool toys almost instantly and look all cool.

It's the ball return for the bowling alley.

I laughed so hard at this. Thanks.


And yes, I agree, it is very aesthetically pleasing and functional looking.

Chronometer on the top panel and storage for Romulan Ale inside.

It's a tesseract.

It's the ball return for the bowling alley.

Dang. I feel sorry for the poor ensign that has to continually head up to the bridge from deck 21, just to retrieve the bowling balls, only to head back down to again

 

[Saquist]

It's just conrols for the captain

 

[Starfury]

That's the captains toilet! "My place is on the bridge...!"

On the Eldridge, it's a beer cooler.

On the Eldridge, it's "push here to not travel through time and get melted into the ship's wall".

Are you sure it doesn't house an exhaust duct for the days where they serve chili in the captain's mess?

 

[Irishman]

Nah, you all got it wrong! Ya see?

It's an iPod dock!
