Any DSC inspired Constitution-Class Bridge Re-Designs?

[Jay Everington]

After the first three episodes of Discovery (especially 1x03, where we got a good look at the Discovery itself), I was curious to see if anyone had seen or done any attempts at a Constitution-Class bridge and/or interior re-design based on the Discovery aesthetic?

The way they have chosen to go with an ship interiors seems to be based on the ENT-era designs after a century or so of evolution mixed with a sort of modernized TOS aesthetic. I think it would be really interesting to see what a Constitution-Class bridge might look like if they were to ever decide to have the one on the show and, rather than using the actual original TOS bridge as DS9, TNG, & ENT did, decide to use the same basic layout, but modernize it to match the interior sets of the Discovery and Shenzhou.

Has anyone seen or even just considered what such a re-design might look like? Obviously, I'm talking something different than just the Abramsverse bridge as I don't particularly think the Discovery aesthetic resembles it as much as some people seem to.

It's been a week. Nearly not enough time to crystalize all we've seen into a coherent design language. Give it a few weeks, at the least...

I'd guess something like the second phase design for the JJ verse. Feels TOS like with some minor needed modifications to feel a bit more DSC/Pilot like.

I've been working on a redesign of the Discovery to fit the "The Cage" aesthetic. I've only got a bit done of the transporter room so far.

I can't wait to see it when you're wrapped up with it!

Here's what I have so far.

I have something I am working on, but really want a better look at the ship design forms we have seen. It will likely look very close to those ships in EP 02's fleet as its a 12 year old design. So its somewhere between The walker and the Crossfield class.

I've been trying to find this image again for years, does anyone have that version of the Bridge that was overly sleek and overly futuristic?

Here you go mate.

Ah, Wonderful, Many Many thanks

That looks more of a modern design and beyond the late 70s. When was this drawing done? Was it a concept for the 2009 movie?

Why would the bridge need to be redesigned? It's already established the aesthetics of the time period.

For fun.

I started on this back around 2001 (obviously) - never finished it.

Check out those CRTs.

Yep was the phase 1 to the 2009 bridge. Pretty sure it was mean't to go with the phase 1 ryan church Enterprise which looked like this: http://i.imgur.com/rF51OC3.jpg

Pretty sure it takes some elements here and there from the phase 2 1970's bridge with the tactical station and the more ergo-styling.
