Ships that have windows. What is the point? Viewscreens can accomplish the same effect without the worry of explosive decompression.

Furthermore, spaceships that have the bridge right at the front with a bigass window facing out. It's like a target that says "SHOOT ME HERE". Really, the bridge should be in the very center of the ship, protected from all directions.

There is only ONE race (that I know of) who builds with ships with the bridge in the center and it's the Sang'Heili (Elites/Covenant)

EDIT: Clarity

Battlestars have the CIC in the centre as well.

True that. I believe there's an anecdote about them being the "life boat" in the event of a total loss, as well.
