@ashefivekay: Thanks, I certainly agree!
@batboy853: lol, well I guess the flat surface works as one?
@Rory1707: Hahaha, glad you would mate!
@Lt. Washburn: I did try that, but the problem is that you end up with either the control area being too thin, or having to extend it downwards into the angled part of the chair. After super scientific testing (aka taking measurements and pressing imaginary buttons on my chair while my cats judge me) I think it works well as it stands, particularly because the side edge of the control area is still close enough for the Captain to grab onto that if really necessary.
@The Librarian: Yup, I agree with all of your points there.
@cardinal biggles: Yeah, I tried doing it the TNG style originally, and it really doesn't work without heavily modifying the chair (or at least I couldn't make it work). As for what the cylinders are, no idea. I guess they simply needed something to occupy that space between the seat and the armrest structure, and they glued a couple thermos there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I subscribe to
@angille's theory though. If somebody in the Trek universe could dual-wield lightsabers then it would 100% be Sisko.
Finishing touches around the viewscreen, including an overhead light similar to that on the Defiant, which illuminates quite a bit this otherwise rather dark area of the bridge. I've also worked more on the LCARS, finishing the overhead monitor graphics all around the perimeter of the bridge.
Also added some final touches to the chair, most notably a darker inset behind the command panels. Now it's definitely done.
If I'm not mistaken (and I very much could be here), the only bits of work remaining are the two trapezoidal LCARS keyboard panels from each perimeter console.
