A bridge hit may kill the ship commander. In VB6 I don't think there is a penalty for losing the bridge, beyond the potential commander loss, but in C# you lose commander bonuses even if he is still survives, unless the ship has one of the other control stations intact.

Second bridge doesn't help in VB6. C# has auxiliary control.
