    But its a centralized computer system. It seems like you can basically gather all the information you need from the same computer terminals. Also lots of stuff being maintained is no doubt better accessed in places like main engineering. I do like the idea of each bridge officer having like a headset in which they stay in touch with lower deck personal. If the security officer is seeing a glitch in the phasers he just call down to engineering to run a test on the system and if it's a problem then alert the captain.

    Until DSC most bridges were kind of small, VOY being a standout exception. Trek designers clearly wanted to limit their sizes for varying reasons.

    But a centralized system doesn't mean that officers from each department would not be on the bridge. I do not think if it is a centralized system that means that accessing it on the bridge by an engineering officer should be as easy as being in engineering. A department officer on the bridge can monitor all of it and relay it to the captain as needed.

    Not exactly the same thing, but Ops in DS9 looked pretty damn large.

    More tall than wide, but yeah, the Cardassian top-down design allowed them to play around with space like they couldn't with most Federation starship bridges.

    Which is how I would imagine a bridge more than the tight and confined spaces at times.

    This could be fun. Maybe background shots for that Mandalorian VR wall thing or something?

    Get 'em out in the desert southwest, where all the real good outer space stuff was made. :lol:

    It's not comforting that they're all redshirts....

    Quoted for truth. Growing up my parents and siblings were all fans of TOS, and then fans of TNG, DS9, VOY and Enterprise, ect, ect. And not a single one of the six of us love the same aspect of what makes Trek Trek. And that's one household. About the only thing we all agreed on, is none of us were fond of the animated series, when it came out. None of us have the same favorite episode, same favorite character, same favorite film, ect. And each has different things that bother them about every single iteration of Trek (well some of us do generally agree about some serious stupid scenes in the various life of Trek).

    I like this one a lot. It has vibes of the abandoned Star Trek Phase II aesthetic.

    One thing I do like about the vertical transporter resonator dishes is that it feels like the next step in transporter technology after ENT. Starfleet wanted to make transporters a lot bigger than the ones used aboard NX-class starships of the 2150s and 2160s but to do that required amplifying the transporter beam using concave dishes and that necessitated a much larger semicircular platform. If you wanted to beam an entire landing party you needed to ramp up the energy usage.

    What a binary choice. :vulcan: I just don't like that green. But, if that is my only choice then yes, give me the Discovery. It's a functional machine not a carnival ride.

    Looks decent enough. Have to wait and see it all in motion.

    I don't hate it! But i feel like an orange might have looked nicer. I'm betting it will look fine in the show with lighting and color grading, tho.

    :guffaw:

    What, with that magical turbolift CG that makes absolutely no fucking spatial or design sense whatever?

    "A carnival ride" is exactly what STD design is about too often. Little on the show resembles functional machinery. Why does everyone on the bridge appear to work fifteen to twenty feet from everyone else? What are those oversized columns of white LEDs that tower something like thirty feet into the air on the bridge for, hmmm? They're not environmental lighting. You can make shit up like "inertial dampening emitters" or something, but that's bullshit. They are there to Look Cool And To Hell With Function.

    I love all of this color. This is the Enterprise, after all.

    So...this is just about perfect. Love the three sliders on the control console.

    Exactly so.

    And it should appear to function at some level. The green does not. Telling me it is a TV show is helpful but irrelevant since a TV show is meant to entertain and this set is currently distracting.
