Dude, by all means! You've got a good motif going here, so go ahead and run with it. I've only been tinkering around with additional entry text during work breaks:
***
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (First Battle Bridge) Galaxy Class c. 2363-4
The battle bridge of a Galaxy-class starship was used principally to control the stardrive section while the saucer section was safe with the civilian population. The set was constructed principally from the original TOS movie set from 1979 in part to show how advanced the TNG era was in comparison.
Episode: TNG "Encounter at Farpoint" and TNG "Arsenal of Freedom" Set Group: A Captain's Chair: A
***
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (Second Battle Bridge) Galaxy Class c. 2366
By the time the Enterprise-D met the first Borg incursion, the battle bridge had been upgraded to this arrangement. Now incorporating the newer aft wall, this set also featured one fewer aft station than the previous incarnation, though the remaining two were more elaborate.
Episode: TNG "Best of Both Worlds, Part II" Set Group: B Captain's Chair: C
***
USS Tsiolkovsky NCC-53911 Oberth Class c. 2364
The Tsiolkovsky was a science vessel whose crew was killed by a variant of the Psi 2000 virus. Only a glimpse of this bridge was seen, where it was determined to be a variant of the TOS movie set incorporating a large hatch that could be opened to space.

OK, directory added. http://tabasco.phasers.net/ it is. Mark, I think I've got it set so you'll have FTP access to that subdomain's directory only, I'll check that (for my own peace of mind) and PM you the login later.

Whi in their right mind would've placed a hatch there is beyond comprehension. It's not as if the Oberth can land or anything.

Well, the TOS movie Enterprise had an airlock and docking port just OFF the bridge... It could follow that a smaller but similar bridge might want to have that, and have the room to do it.
I *think* the hatch was of the TOS movie docking collar variety (with the zigzag pattern). Perhaps someone thought it would be a great idea if the bridge had a docking port that opened directly onto the bridge.
But if we were to theorize a bit, it's not uncommon for Starfleet folks to perform experiments directly on their bridge instead of a lab. Lots of experiments could have to do with exposing samples to space...
Edit: I've found a screencap of the Tsiolkovsky's bridge from trekpulse.com. Aside from the TOS movie chairs and possibly some railings, the set is not a re-dress of anything - a generic wall with a hatch in it is all we see.

PS - Great stuff, Lee... I await the l/p info. I guess Harry may eventually require access himself, but that'll be for later on.

USS Stargazer NCC-2893 Constellation Class c. 2355
The Stargazer was principally a deep-space explorer, and was lost in an early encounter with the Ferengi. The set incorporated the TOS movie forward consoles and chairs to evoke the old era, despite having far fewer consoles overall.

USS Yamato NCC-71807 Galaxy Class c. 2365
Directly preceeding the Enterprise-D out of the shipyards, the Yamato had an identical bridge layout. Only briefly seen, the Enterprise-D set was used with minor color variation and some additional greeblies.

USS Hathaway NCC-2593 Constellation Class c. 2365
This eighty year-old "star cruiser" was decommissioned and used in war games with the Enterprise-D. This bridge was one of the first uses of this "swing" set on TNG, and was one of the more asymmetrical arrangements seen in Star Trek.

Here's a thought - how about maybe incorporating layout diagrams where we have them, like the various artists' impressions from the Magazine/Fact Files. . . even in a small version, say in the corner of the page?
*looks at ther ones on EAS*
Small is good. Otherwise my bandwidth'd go through the roof. . !

It's not even an airlock! It's just a door! Nothing like making your bridge into a big suicide booth.

Yes- it was exactly the same as the "D" bridge. It's probable that Worf and Riker had never seen the yamato before so missed the inaccuracies. The Yamato has a black console looking thinh directly behind the captain's chair (as the center post on the tactical rail).

Actually, I think what you saw was a flap of the LCARS panelling from the tactical display hanging down behind the captain. Cause their ship was all broke-ass and stuff. So they were ripping it apart to try and find the problem.
