There are quite a few design flaws that I see with this bridge. (Not an attack on you, just something that just makes it look unbelievable.)
  • Those head-rests still need to become head-rests and not neck-rests.
  • What Dalek pointed out about the turbolift is a good point. If you step out and head right, you'll probably stuble and fall because of the small drop off. Adding and gentle slope from the lift edge, flowing into the floor would work out nicely to solve this issue.
  • The side consoles on the command staff level are just in a plain awkward position. In the event of a sudden stop, the operator is going to fall down a flight of rather steep stairs. Also, they are too low to be operated from the standing position. (They are the same height as the center, sitting position, directly in front of the captain.)
  • The first set of stairs leading down to the command level shouldn't really slope down. I realize it's to match the design of the ramp, but that's really going to mess up one's balance as they ascend/ descend those stairs. (Though the railing does help. ;))


Keep in mind, I like the overall design, but my mind can't help but pick up on things that just wouldn't sit well with me if I were there.

I may change that turbolift issue and I will change the height of those consoles.
But the rest won't change... Omi is kinda special when it comes to altering his design. =/

-Edit: I heightened the consoles and the back-rests (those neck-rests should now actually be head-rests).
I also started texturing the floor:
(ignore the unmapped spots -.-)

my only thought is that whoever is sitting in that middle console will completely block the captain's view of the viewscreen...
i dunno, to me that station is in the way, IMO i think the bridge would be better off without it right there...

Actually, hun, it was stated earlier that that's where the captain, himself, sits. :P

To do:

I'm not sure about those consoles on either side of the captains chair. It looks like it would be very awkward standing at those consoles if you leave them inverted towards the captains chair like that. Otherwise, very cool.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Will a Omega class image fit in that MSD though?

Infact, what the heck does an Omega class look like?

Yeah...its a box with a warp engine on the inside. And those bussard collectors will be a bit useless on the inside. :P

Looks great! All I suggest is put your name across it when posting LCARs... people have a tendency of nicking them ;)

Otherwise awesome ;)
