never a better use of the term "skeleton crew".  :funny

That's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better.

I actually love it, since that's pretty close to the vision I had for the Akira bridge.

one thing i've noticed is that the chairs dont look very comfortable.  the captain's chair looks great..but the rest look like they could start to hurt after a couple hours on duty.  not cool.  maybe thicken the cushions on them and make them a little more ergonomic?

Hey, the tac officer can stand there without bending down to reach it.  Guess those crash test dummies put it all into pretty good perspective.

I like it!  LOL Keep the test dummies they look a lot more accurate than the orignal crew :P LOL

If I might make a suggestion, perhaps an idea would be to add a console next to what i'm assuming are the First Officer and "Counselor/VIP" chairs? Think it would be appropriate for the Captain, or in the very least the First Officer, having access to a computer to find out what's going on :P

Maybe they have controls in the armrests like the captain does.

I wanted to add one, but I haven't decided the shape yet. maybe TNG style but between the captain and the other chairs, instead of the other side like in TNG.

I think that might be too big.  Maybe Ent-E style?

Or perhaps, Voyager-esque style on both sides of the captains chair, allowing access for both the captain, XO and VIP?

could do, but I don't want to screw myself with the animations :P
perhaps the simple arm between the chairs, with retractile pannel, like voyager.
although, the captain already has hand pannels on the chair.

well, I'll play around a bit and see what happens lol

I think the chairs may a little too far apart for that to work. On the Intrepid bridge, the Captain, XO and guest all sit fairly close together in a straight line.


Awesome work here! Can't wait to see the final!

first approach, small preview.
I ended up with this after looking at a small spring-based flashlight, for books.

It's novel, and pretty cool looking, but a little complicated, even for Starfleet.

Plain old Voyager springboard would look nice, but it's your bridge, and I'd use it regardless :P.

They look sooo cool! But perhaps a dit excessive for an Akira bridge :P! On something like the USS Relativity, or maybe the Ent-F, but I'm not sure about Akira. Still frigging awesome though!

Ok, now THAT one I like. It's still a little complicated, but perfect for a more modern Akira. I may decide to make a pre-TNG Akira bridge someday based off yours, but this is perfect for the era BC is set in.
