I like it. It's big and gives a sense that there are other areas on that deck other than the bridge. I wonder if that's a transporter platform in the far back...

That is freaking huge would love to see the plan view of it
view shots like that might make it see larger than what it is
No, it was clearly designed by their love child who in addition to absorbing their bizarre traits is also a dadaist. Seriously, I can almost see Escher, but Giger?
The needs of an MMO make this bridge appear far bigger than it actually should be. I think it'd look far better if scaled appropriately for a television/movie vessel and not the ghastly triple sized versions they need for an MMO.
In addition to that, that is the nicest looking big screen TV ever. Sojourner, you need to grab a stack of cheap blurays and meet me on the set of this bridge later today. I suggest Star Wars for the shits and giggles. I'll bring the pizza.
I actually think from a television/movie perspective, the design as is allows for a large number of different camera angles as well as more areas in general to shoot scenes in there. Sorta like the Ops set from DS9.
Yeah, what we really need is to eventually con someone into dong a version at a scale meant for human beings and not elephants.
Yeah i think it is.
I've been flying the new specialty Odyssey vessel is STO's test realm. I've got to say, the Tactical version combined with the Chevron Seperation (They refer to its secondary hull as a chevron and not a saucer) from the engineering variant is an impressive beast to fly. And I'm quickly getting accustomed to her appearance.
She's not as beautiful as the Vektorprise, but... I think she will do nicely.

I collect starship bridge designs and that is one of the most impressive I've seen.
Yo Trekkies I heard you like Mass Effect so I put Mass Effect in your Star Trek so you can Mass Effect while you Star Trek.
Man, just saw the Star Trek Online video tour of this thing. Geez, it's big! If it was an actual TV series or movie, there probably wouldn't be a need for an engineering set.

Less wasted space than a typical STO bridge, which is generally football stadium sized. :P I like the inclusion of a transporter room far from the central action, and whatever is in that forward pit that it isolated from everything else (the earlier pictures didn't show what was down there, I was hoping a couple couches and an espresso machine).
The only thing I don't like is all the semi-transparent holographic displays. They look futuristic and all, but in practice what's the point of seeing the bulkhead behind the display? It's just distracting, especially when it's an angled partial wall. traditional consoles rule!

I've never played an MMO, so obviously I don't understand the games mechanics, but this discussion does urge me to ask the question, "Why ARE the sets so friggin' huge?!" I see a recreation of the TOS bridge that is moderately accurate except for the floorspace that has been increased by a factor of five! I get the impression I'm seeing a digital adaptation of the animated episode, "The Terratin Incident" (the one that presented an incredibly shrinking crew). Is it to keep the various figures and their "fields of influence" from overlapping each other and thus causing control issues?

I don't like how dark most of the colors are. A Federation bridge in my opinion should always be brighter and have a light atmosphere to it. And no Federation bridge should ever look like it was designed by Giger.
And I'm not sure about the holographic displays. There should be physical controls in case the holographic tactile sensors or displays get damaged or go down.

Perfect, lol.
Seems like an awful lot of wasted space, especially the super wide "running track" around the central bridge. Also, the raised area with the command chairs, do they play shuffleboard there during quiet time?
