Brainstorming for the future:

For V2 of Early TNG and Late TMP, I will be redoing the Red Alert signal at Saffi's station to be the same as Hansen's in BoBW Pt. II. It doesn't look very hard and I am hoping it will look very good ingame.

EDIT: Actually, Nebula bridge is not going to work for the next version of MidTNG. It's just too difficult to work with. I wish V4 of the bridge which is being used in Excalibur was available in BC to work with. Instead of using the Nebula I am going to do the Defiant Bridge and see how that goes. It's small and cramped but it looks pretty nice.

I have the visuals in my head and damn am I impressed with them

Heh, another reinvisioning. The Mid TNG bridge will now be the Excelsior Bridge (probably using the FC as the base) remade to look like a mix between the Righteous bridge from ST: Borg, and the Saratoga bridge from Emissary. It will be much more fun to do as I have explored that bridge and it presents much more options as far as customizing goes (Nebula v3 is terrible for that, I wish I could get my hands on V4).

As much as I hate to triple post (cough post more cough), here's a sneak peak at what I have done with the Mid-TNG Generic bridge thusfar. I am quite pleased with it.

For comparison to the bridge of the USS Righteous, see link below.

Yes, more details will go in to replace the monotone colors. I just want to get the mood right.

You think that's nice? I just installed the replicator. We don't have to wait until Tuesday.

very nice indeed, i think thats cookie worthy

When you say Mid TNG, like 2367? I don't like the colour of that chair either.

All in all, veeerrrrra nice!

I would say, if possible, swap out the sovereign's captain's chair for another model, perhaps the galaxy or nebula. So far it's a nice retexture, but I reserve judgment for when it's for complete.

What program would you recommend for that?

By mid-TNG I mean about Season 4-5. About the time that DS9 and VOY would have been getting close to. Mostly around Wolf 359. The bridge is heavily based on the bridge of the USS Righteous from ST: Borg so that's why I have a blue chair. I think it's a reuse of the Excelsior chair from ST:VOY "Flashback."

Would it helped if I made the chair the same color as the panelling on the undersides of the LCARS panels?

It also is worth mentioning that the carpet is now gray.

Max 3 is probably the only program you can use to do it.

What's the full name of the program? The library might have a copy of it for 3D design. Right now all I have is 3DS Max 9.

Oh, and if I am going to have to dig through chair files then you guys are getting completely different chairs for the crew, because I hate those

. I might use the Nebula ones, they look more comfortable.

Barihawk · « **Reply #151 on:** October 27, 2008, 11:04:39 AM »

Preliminary LCARS work to show you what the overall theme is going to be. All the panels need to be cleaned up badly, but the goldenrod/blue is what it's going to be. The LCARS are going to be straight from the Saritoga in Emissary.

To be honest I like the command chair. If you guys dislike the color, make a suggesion as to what it should be!

The only reason I dislike it is because it doesn't fit with the rest of the bridge. Make it dark red or the original colour it was.

Barihawk · « **Reply #153 on:** October 27, 2008, 11:41:34 AM »

In that case I am going to have to Veto. It's blue to match the underpanelling on the consoles. I've tried to get it to match as close as I can with the factor that it's in the middle of the bridge and bathed in light.

Red looks horribly out of place and the default brown leather is also out of place.

I really hate to pull the "it's my bridge, I like the damn chair" argument, but it's the best I can do under the circumstances.

rengers · « **Reply #154 on:** October 27, 2008, 11:47:18 AM »

I like the color of the chair!

Aeries · « **Reply #155 on:** October 27, 2008, 11:53:21 AM »

The only thing I can think of is maybe making the alert klaxon lighty thingies a little bit thinner, along with the golden LCARS outline thingies. They just look real big to me. Otherwise it's cool, blue chair and all. :]

I'll bet that's why Captain John whats-his-name was such a noob. Couldn't replicate a coffee for the trip.

Awe well.

Keep up the good work!

Now that I can do.

John Harriman, by the way.

The bridge is progressing slowly, as I have been busy with grad school this week. A lot of the skeletons are starting to get in place on the LCARS series.

My questions to you:

What would you like to see on the LCARS displays?

Please give some suggestions for the following categories:

Environmental:
Mission Ops:
Communications:
Science I:
Science 2:
Engineering:
Tactical:

Barihawk · « **Reply #158 on:** November 11, 2008, 08:20:54 AM »

In celebration of this project winning Modder of the Month October, I will be doing some extra work on this over the weekend. I would still like you guys to look at the little poll in the post above this and give me some suggestions, please!

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #159 on:** November 11, 2008, 09:06:16 AM »

i had an idea... sa far as station locations, what about doing something like Engineering 1 and 2 in the front left lcars (brex), enviroment and life support in the front right (empty), mission ops (saffi), and communications to the left of mission ops and science 2 to the right of science 1 (miguel)?

as far as what to see on the lcars themselves? hmm thats a toughie - there could be quite a number of things for each category lol
