    Sorry, thats the line I thought of upon seeing thread title.

    Yup, I thought of that scene in the mayor's office when I wrote that title.:P

    They wouldn't be as visible like the fed ships windows because Klingons prefer low light conditions in their ships.
    Personally I prefer low light conditions, and for this reason I kinda despise summer when it is too bright outside. Black curtains on windows all the way.

    Does that mean...I am a real Klingon? :eek:

    what everyones forgetting is that the windows are not windows in the true sense of aa window, they are merely forcefields.

    In First Contact, Picard said that the Enterprise E had force field windows so whose to say the klingons dont have them either ? altho it raises interesting questions ie if you disable the window generator do all the crew get sucked out into space ? :D

    Do you actually watch Star Trek?
    Or did you actually watch "First Contact" for that matter, of just that particular scene?:confused::(

    How do you do THAT with forcefields?;)

    Windows in Star Trek are made out of a transparent material, just not glass.
    In Starfleet's case "Transparent Aliminum".
    I'm not entirely sure what everyone else uses.
    Force-fields are only used when there's a breech.
    Remember, before Picard opened that "window" it was closed off by some kind of bulkhead.
    It's very likely the bulkhead was in place because the window had been blown out.
    If you listen closely in that scene you can actually hear the characteristic sound effect of a forcefield being turned on just before the bulkhead rises.
    So it was not on the entire time.
    And why should it anyway?
    Forcefields consume a lot of power that could be used elsewhere.
    In Star Trek "Nemesis" during the battle with the Scimitar, Riker orders decks that have been sealed off from vacuum by forcefields to be evacuated so the power can be pumped into the shields.

    I think it means you are a bit of a Goth.
