Upon closer inspection, this is the same basic set rebuilt for "Flashback", right down to the chair and carpeting ("ST:Borg" was released in 1997, after "Flashback" was made).
Compare with the screencaps we have linked on the last page. They only switched out the doors, helm/nav console, LCARS and small details, including adding a small console to the forward port railing. Heck, they even kept the chairs, which lacked the lower wheel covering or the fact taht the helm/nav chairs were not anchored to the deck...
I think the MSD is new for the set too... It's fuzzy, but I can't make out the secondary hull expansion.

has anyone made any more preparations towards publishing this, perhaps as a beta version? i'm a little left out if there's email going around about this

There hasn't been any e-mail bouncing around, not really. I e-mailed Scooter once, and Spike contacted me independently and quite coincidentally.
Harry still has the lead on HTML, and Scooter has offered to help. We've still got a lot of ships to sort through (and cap), and I intend to produce another batch this weekend.

Confirm receipt of Dauntless. We're rolling again, folks!
And I think we can start considering Trek gaming bridges too, now that we're going to include Righteous. Besides that Connie-esque bridge posted earlier, what else is there? We should try to minimize game versions of canon Trek bridges, though.
I don't game much - I know there's an Excelsior-class bridge in "Elite Force II", and I'm told there's something in "DS9: The Fallen". What else?
Comics can't be far behind... But let's tackle one thing at a time.

Yeah, I played BC and two bridges ingame are "stock" Galaxy and Sovereign bridges (with cartoonish consoles ) There was also an Akiraclass bridge ("redress" of Sovereign - only MSD was changed), and couple of alien half-bridges.
As long as we are talking about games, Elite Force 2 E-E bridge was pretty normal. The same cannot be said about Dallas bridge, though...
Here's overhead view. I'll see if I can get a better shot (without weapon and HUD) and make a panorama.

It's more a shuttle, really... I'd slide it down on the priority list, at least for now. Though Braxton identifies it as a "Federation Timeship", I'd consider Relativity ahead of her. Thanks for the Flashback Excelsior! Looking forward to it.
Lee, that TOS bridge rocks. The overhead plan could be very useful...
I've sent the guy a PM via Dewback Wing ASAP - where he posted the link, perhaps he can help in some way.
Bueatiful rendering but the captain's chair looks a bit too close to the helm/nav consoles.

(WARNING: this hasn't been (de?)bugged for IE yet, so it might look funky is good ol' Explorer).
I'm thinking this is the final design. Unless someone has other good ideas. Now, we have to decide on a final format. How do we display the information? An entry per ship, per class or even per set?
The current mockup has entries per general design of a ship's bridge, although the entries are listed by class. Since bridges are supposed to be modular, I suspect that it's possibly that contemporary ships of the same class may have different bridges. I suggest per-ship entries.

I think it disappears afterwards, though. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Besides, even the bridge mods you find on bcfiles.com are canon sets or reskins thereof.
