I'm not too fond of the chair redesign.
That's okay, the wood is shinier than it looks and has a strip of lighting inside.
Can’t imagine how that’s going to hold up going hard aport or when the ship hits a giant green hand or something.I'm not too fond of the chair redesign.
It's also a callback to the hood surrounding the round display on the original transporter console:
Also worth referencing in this topic:
I think that’s some sort of fasciae outside of the chamber. There was something similar—but much plainer–in the two pilots.
I like the spacing in the Phase II concept artwork better than the actual SNW execution. The general layout of the TOS transporter room should have been kept.
From what we've seen, SNW is closer in spirit than what that sketch transmogrified into in TMP.
Yeah, the TMP transporter room is so radically different from the TOS version it's hard to believe it's supposed to be the same ship. But then the 1701 Refit was radically different period.
I give this set a thumbs up. Glad they ditched the glowing Roomba that sits in the center of the Discovery transporter platform. Looks cleaner this way. And I’m very happy the consoles are back to being angled, rather than flat. Seems much more functional and ergonomic. I’m not sure about making them double-sided — that seems weird, and it’s hard to imagine such a setup being functional. But we’ll see.
Appears they’re sticking with the high-shine flooring. Not so keen on that. It’s my least favorite aspect of the Disco-E bridge design.

Ok, I had no comment on your transporter room colour preference, but these are fightin' words!
Just so you guys know sometimes what the designers come up with as the FINAL design doesn't get translated when in production. The team in charge of building things makes their own modifications when it is being made for time and budget reasons. Sometimes for camera reasons too.
Case in point this was the FINAL designs by the designer for the discovery bridge and it's a dream come true for me. I really like the colours too.
My hope is that someday they actually build that second floor of discovery's bridge, now its just a big black hole.
I really like that design, but shouldn't the stairs be ramps? We've seen at least one person on Discovery in a wheelchair.
Most of the issues I have with the DSC Enterprise bridge stem from how overly shiny and metallic it looks.
After the transporter, I wonder if the bridge in gonna be repainted white a la ST'09.
It'll have TOS colors and probably be even closer in appearance to the TOS regular series bridge. I hope they put matte flooring on the set but given how shiny the transporter room set is I'm not getting my hopes up at all.
Doubtful. Ship weapons can also serve as point-defense weapons, as seen in DS9 (and ST09), and were quite effective. Not even really sure why they brought the Marquis Raiders into that fight. Unless you have a million swarmers to bring to bear against a target (like we saw in STB) to overwhelm that protective weapon shield, there’s really no point, outside of the “kewl” factor.
