I do like the blinky indicator light readout screen next to the sliding controls, similar to how the TOS transporter console was designed. Needs more color to the display but that's a definite plus.

Well I imagine it's turned off between scenes, there's a round screen to the left that isn't lit up, that could add to it.I do like the blinky indicator light readout screen next to the sliding controls, similar to how the TOS transporter console was designed.

How?
The round screen is probably the astrogator-like round screen from the TOS transporter console, just moved to the left. They're keeping elements from the TOS console and just rearranging them in location.
You're completely misunderstanding himGo take a warm bath to calm your nerves and watch the original show with the cardboard sets and be happy
It looks like an aquarium. Honestly. It lacks that technical feel of something both functional and dangerous. The pads look great. The green panels make it look very strange, like a fish bowl, or a carnival funhouse mirror.
THANK YOU! These look amazing. The last one with the red take on the console screams TOS. Amazingly faithful updates. I'm so excited for this series!
That is a lot ofing green.
Hey, it's not easy being green.

So, I'm confused...
How does gray = functional but green ≠ functional?
That seems excruciatingly superficial and contrarian, even by your standards...
Well, then...you don't have to like it. Right?
Yep.The only Star Trek I've ever seen that looked "Functional" was this one. And thats because it wasn't a set.

The original plywood sets had way too much color to be "functional." Including green.
Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. The green panels look like they serve a function to me. They all face inwards towards the pad, and have etchings on them that could be circuitry. I bet you wouldn't want to touch them while the transporter is running.
Note below and I will attempt to clarify my extreme superficial nature:
I should note it isn't just the green, and no gray does note equal more functional. The appearance is not one of a technology but of a pane of glass found in an aquarium. That's my initial reaction. No doubt it will work better in the show in action. But, I'll not sugarcoat my opinions because this how a Trek show "should" look.
I wouldn't want to touch them because they look like they will break.
I imagine pastel colors instead of grey and dark brown would be better on humans working on spaceships for extended periods of time.
I mean, I work in a beige office so I can agree on that. And I have no problem with the orange or other colors. As I have endeavored to explain (apparently unsuccessfully) the green panels do not look functional to me on the transporter. That is all. The color is fine. My wife has jewelry of that color. Looks good on her.
I'll rephrase. Believable. I believed the TOS sets would work as described. The green doesn't sell that thus far.
Yes, I am excruciating pedantic right now since my initial reaction was not butterflies and rainbows of this new set.
Good grief, y'all.
Future space age material. Probably transparent aluminum or something.
Just because something looks fragile to us, doesn't mean it is in the context of the universe.
The pad itself seems to be the same size as the Discovery's.
Why are you so confrontational? Let him have his opinion. Agree to disagree and move on
And again, watching it be used on screen will probably make a huuuggeeeee difference in my reaction. I am currently reacting to static shots and then being told that I am not reacting appropriately. That's a little tough to swallow.
Intriguing. Perhaps you might be interested in studies on color psychology and the calming effects of the color green, at least on humans. Perhaps there is a method to their madness, calming the users' nerves before being demolecularlized, being a mostly human crew?Note below and I will attempt to clarify my extreme superficial nature:

Remember that TOS' season 3 painted the walls in the transporter room purple, as opposed to their usual practice of lighting gray-painted neutral walls with colored gels. Is purple more functional than green, or even gray, I wonder? Perhaps less aquatic, yes, but I have seen many aquariums with purple-magenta tank stones.
So many incongruent rabbit holes to go down with this one...
I like most of this except I think the steps should be solid black or light brownish like you also see in the mix. Don't see the need for glowy steps.

I am sure fucking confused. I have no issue with the colors. I was defending the green.
