overall the bridge looks good... if a little dark... might i suggest with the lcars u pick a pallet and stick with those colours.. right now there seems to be too much colour variation between the displays..

Lovely work Cpt Hooker. Tell me how do you make your Lcars screens, I do mine in photoshop painting, copying and colouring shapes to make the right LCARS style but but this is a long and dull process and I end up getting bored and buggering off out. How do you do it and is it quick and painless!! :D

well i got help from Mark for some of the displays but it requires alot of time and patience to get it right. You also need to study the lcars very carefully to see how they are normally laid out.

This bridge upon release will be welcomed by myself, I love the Mantis class, and to have a bridge to match that ship would just rule.

By any chance, is that wire frame image of the Mantis a rotating image? If it is, thats cool because from what Ive heard, animated LCARS are a s.o.b to master.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.
