This is based on the covers of the novels, right? I love the layout.

Yeah... what is that? Enterprise-C had it too. Never made any sense to me. No seat and the conn and ops are already taken care of. Someone goes up front to use it and the captain starts yelling, "Down in front!"

It's a playstation / game cube / dvd player. The viewscreen provides excellent game play for the night shift.

Thank you for feedback.

Well, this bridge wasn't based on covers of the novels. I mean, the are nice, but besides familiar horseshoe structure one couldn't see much of the bridge layout.

This bridge is based on layout shown in "Double Time" New Frontier comic book. What I could gather from two screenshots I found it's basically cross between Ambassador and Galaxy bridges.

And yes, that forward console is definetly there and no, I have no idea what does it do either. [Smile]

(And look what I found now trying to find those caps again...)

That's what he was using for his portfolio?!?
It's not bad, exactly......just really heavy with the black lines and it looks like he made it in MS Paint.
Not bad if it's just initial concept art.

Scan from "Hard Time" comic book, courtesy of Sci-Fi Meshes.com

The doors are off, according to this. The aft starboard door goes to the conference room, and the fore starboard is the other turbo. Also, the doors themselves are pretty much where they were on the E-C set, with the additional two taking the place of wall panels aft. Compare this to the E-C bridge iso, HERE.

The forward console of the E-C could easily be the helm, complete with one or two seats for the helmsman and the navigator. The way the bridge is trashed by the Romulans, a chair or two could easily go missing...

The two seat/console combos further back but still forward of the command chair could be Ops and Tactical, assuming those positions exist in the E-C era (we don't really hear of Ops in "Y's E", now do we?). After the forward console is blasted to hell, the crew simply reroutes Helm to one of those two consoles.

Did the Enterprise-B not have Ops?

Not mentioned in the script. We know helm is where Sulu was sitting, and the script puts the navigator ("we're the only ship in range") as the person at the other one. The aft console could be anything but is only mentioned in ths script as a transporter console. Unlikely that that is the console's only function, as it would not likely be placed there for a view of the window.

The "Y's E" script reads, "Parker, you've got ops. Fredricks, you take the conn". Yar then chimes in and says she'll handle tactical, and then sits at the left console. We don't know who (if anyone) sat at the other, as it was off-camera. However, during the earlier attack Castillo initiates evasive maneuvers from the starboard console, so...

U.S.S. Excalibur bridge, take two [Smile]

(Now compare that with "Double Time" layout... I definetly see differences here.

Anyway, since I think that scribbling on "Hard Time" layout states that ready room and observation lounge are supposed to be taken from Ent-E, I went ahead and added them as well.

What do you think?

Is 13 the ready room? It looks too big.
