Spoilers The Roddenberry Archive brings every iteration of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise bridge to life

Characters are experimental at this time. They were added mainly to get feedback from visitors to see if they add or take away from the experience in their current form. Your feedback is really welcome on this. We can make them animated and even give them a routine as NPCs, but that is more resource intensive and some steps away from where we are today.

Thanks, I think it's worth exploring but take the point on the resource demand.

I don't know if you could make them an option in the settings?

Yes - we were thinking that might be the way to go in fact. It might even be there in the settings, let me check if that made it into today’s update or if it was only in an internal build.

It's there already. However, if the person is holding a prop, it stays floating in space when they disappear. There's a guy in the Farpoint engineering like that.

The lockers at the very back of the TMP hanger deck have no collision

FWIW I find the characters immersion-breaking, but what if we had Lower Decks "Twovix" style uniformed manikins dotted around? They'd add to the living museum feel.

I just noticed this post. Has anyone quoted Scotty from Relics yet?

Here are two shots of the #TOS Enterprise bridge from the excellent new Roddenberry Archive documentary "Lost Voyages: Phase II and the Rebirth of Star Trek" released today. Using my bridge overhead display research, I can conclude that the bridge is shown as it appeared in "The Galileo Seven". :-)

I watched the Phase II and Nick Meyer videos. For two subjects that I'm pretty sure I've heard everything about (everything that can be public anyway) these were surprisingly engaging. Very well done!

Is there a gym yet?

I saw signs for a volleyball court and bowling alley in the rec room.

That's something I've noticed about a lot of Meyer's interviews lately - he covers a lot of the same points, down to the "art is cool" quotation and the bit about seeing his papers at U of Iowa. Props to the Archive team for including visuals to spice things up!
