Uh, goddamn, dude. I am very sorry I am only just seeing this but I am really fascinated by that bridge layout, especially the fact that it is asymmetric (which, sadly, I never thought to do myself...). Have you ever done any more detailed interior layouts? I'd love to see what you come up with (I've always loved your ship designs) and see if maybe there's some stuff I could build out of that (my own recent work here). :)
 
IIRC, the only really asymmetrical bridge layout we’ve seen on-screen has been the timeship Relativity… but I might be wrong.
 
Thanks. If you were not aware, the Aker sports a forward-aft symmetry rather than a lateral symmetry, so I think you may be looking at the vessel incorrectly... this may help:

Like 99.9% of Starfleet vessels, exploration. ;)
Your concept sketch still feels like it needs a 90° Rotation as to what is considered Fore/Aft Along with Port/StarBoard.

But that's just my 2 ¢

Hey mate! Good to see you again, and Thanks! I have some other Bridges, but they are mostly sketches, mainly due to not being of strong interior interest...lol I have no issues doing it, but I just don't have the urge or motivation for it. So if you needed something, just let me know, and I'll see what I can drum up. But don't bother to wait for me to just draw it up, as I have literally thousands of starship designs, and only a relative handful of interiors... lol

Also on the Hathaway in TNG ep with the Wargames...

That's your preference, but not the intent presented. Maybe, when you design yours, you'll rotate it. Just my penny for my thought... I didn't need two ;)
