This is the Battle Bridge. Talk to us about the Battle Bridge.

TL;DRThe battle bridge mirrors the top bridge's functions at lower priority, but for the initial release it can only fly in third person, with a remote camera view planned for later.

It's the battle bridge. So this mirrors all the functionality of the top bridge. Priority-wise, it has lower priority currently than the upper bridge. So anyone sat on the upper bridge will have priority. But obviously, if you want to come down here, there's probably a reason why you don't want to be stood in the upper deck. But you will eventually have exactly the same functionality as you do on the top bridge. So you can actually fly the ship from down here. Obviously, you'll notice the number one problem is you can't see from down here. At the moment, we don't have the ability to have a remote camera like we have for turrets and retain flight control. We will have that in the future, but for the initial release, that's not there. Unfortunately, the only way you can fly from down here is in third person, but you can fly, and I've seen QA trying to fly the ship in third person from down here, doing some impromptu multi-crew, calling out from other people dotted around the ship.

So eventually you'll get a remote camera view and you'll be able to fly through that.

You'll be able to fly and manage the ship exactly as you could on the upper deck from down there. And those two front ones again have control over the remote turrets. So if you fully crewed this with all humans, you could have two people down there, two people up on the upper bridge, and they would each be able to have their own remote turrets to control.
