4 Bridges: 2 Excelsior, 1 Ambassador, 1 Prometheus
« on: January 18, 2009, 08:21:22 AM »
A few things I've tinkered with over the weeks. Just thought I'd show 'em off.

Unfortunately, I'm no master of light mapping on bridges (and I can barely get away with ship glows too).

Edit: Bugger, pulled the lead outta my pencil.

The only thing i can't understand is the Ambie roof lighting. Its sort of rainbowey in places but  if i look at the texture and the nif in NifSkope, they're a nice blue.

Well, at the minute, they're all there original ships (hence the MSD's) but at one time, the "Regal" Excel bridge had a Century Class MSD (but I lost it :( ) and the Ambie bridge is for a certain 9th Fleet thingymabob.

What would you say are the most common coloured LCARS by the 2380's? I was just wondering whether mostly blues and orangey/yellows would look right.

If you wish to use my Nemesis LCARS from PDW Excelsior bridge then go ahead, colors for them were taken straight from screencaps and are as accurate as possible ;)
They looks awesome, especially Voy Excelsior ;) I don't think that there were any purple parts in Nem LCARS... only multiple shades of blue/yellow/orange and there were also (but very rare) white/grey/green/brown.

Thanks for the offer Doc. :D

I put the original roof colour back on the Ambassador bridge since there were issues. And heres a new bridge to gawgle at...

What d'ya think the LCARS should be on the Prommie bridge? Keep the same colour or a colour similar to the PDW Excelsior LCARS?

i am curious...  why an Ambassador MSD for the Prommie bridge?
Ambassador Class ships seem to have existed much before the Prommie bridge-type?  i dunno, something about it just doesnt seem/feel right...  could be just me tho...

I only did it for a certain 9th Fleet thingymabob. And if there ever was a large version of the Ambie bridge (since the Galaxy and Excelsior gets one) then I think the Prommie bridge would fit best.

So, are you member of the 9th fleet?
