I've had a bunch of requests for URLS to FF and STMAG scans of bridges and such. Here it is. Be sure to thank the kindly gents (and Janet) who scanned and cleaned up the images.
By the way, if there are some that aren't on this list, please tell me.

Good list and thanks, Balapoel. Just a couple of notes. First, the two links going to the Maximum Defiant site are throwing me a mean pair of 404's. Second, I don't know about that Stargazer bridge. I really don't remember it being set up like that. Of course, I'll defer all final opinions on set accuracy to our Resident Bridge Guru Mark.

What is with Chakotay's office... Riker too - he never had an office (that we had seen) up until Insurrection... what the HELL would a first officer need with an office! Where would it be located? Deck 14 or something incosequential!?!
What could he need with a separate office, that he couldn't do in his own quarters... like Data...

Personally, I think Janeway converted a storage closet into Chuckle's office. Looks tiny.
I can see an XO needing room to work, though. Supposedly, they'r in charge of crew assignments, mission planning, etc.

The Stargazer bridge is pretty close to what the diagram describes. It's a whole lot less cluttered. The only real change I'd noticed is that the Tactical console is much smaller and differently-shaped than what is shown here.
As for Chakotay's office, we've seen it on several occaision, often instead of his real quarters (have we EVER seen his real quarters?). It's usually where you see his medicine wheel hanging. Rick once told me that the office was supposed to be behind the bridge, but given the window there that's not likely. More likely, the office is on Deck five, either to port or starboard of the sensor greeblie - it's the only place that has one window that can correspond to his office.
Riker? He's never had an office AFAIK. But as laid-back as he is, he usually uses his quarters to do stuff. On average, quarters on teh Enterprise are much larger than those aboard Voyager. That's probably part of the reason.

Why wouldn't the First Officer need an office? I mean, the guy is essentially responsible for running the ship -- Picard gives the orders, Riker carries 'em out. He's responsible for the crew evaluation reports, and probably a lot of other stuff we're not even aware of. Besides, it's not like we didn't see him in Ten Foreward on occasion working on those reports -- maybe they gave him an office to get him out of the habit of doing ship's business in the ship's bar?

Thanks for the URLs for the various bridges and other locations. All we need now is the Dauntless, Reliant, Grissom, Jupiter Station as well as various places from Enterprise nil, A, B, D, and E, as well as Defiant and Voyager locations to make it complete. Of course the finale to this would be the Excalibur bridge from the back of the comic. Again many thanks to all who scanned and to those who linked.

Yeah, I just noticed the maximum defiant links went kaput. Well, they were working last night. However, you could just muddle around his site and find his scans. Or use the other links.
BTW, I finished a second bridge comparison chart (with all 18 fed bridge designs and the floorplans I could find). I spruced up some of my alterations too. Bernd will have it up in replace of the old one pretty soon I think. If anyone has more accurate plan drawings of these ships, please let me know. The only "official" paramount ones I have are from Stargazer, Excelsior, Voyager, Defiant, Enterprise-D, and Enterprise E. Also, scans of the USS Odyssey bridge would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Is there a FF entry for the Odyssey? I'd *kill* for that! The Odyssey is just another redress of the E-A bridge, with a neat "horseshoe" sorta thing on the upper deck - and the XO's chair *behind* the CO chair.
