That's what the emergency hatch is for. The egress markings are just there for the brass. If you pull it open, there's really a jacuzzi down there.

Where will Tactical be accessed from when needed? Perhaps #3, or maybe #14? #3 makes sense. as there will already be someone manning the station, or at least someone qualified to on the bridge, instead of having to find someone to sit and do nothing at station 14 until a defensive situation arises.

#3 makes sense to me. If phaser use is a function of a mission task, then it would need to be coordinated with other mission tasks. If the ship is at hightened alert, then the mission priority is defense, so again, it makes sense to have phaser control there. What do you think Rev?

Well in TOS tactical was always split between coms (alert status) and helm (weapons) and I think either science or engineering had shield control. So I'd say basic tactical systems should be accessible from Helm, Comms and Mission Ops. Multiple redundancy and all that.
For #14 I'd say Planetary Science should do the job and instead of Mission Ops 2, I think an Astrometrics/Stellar Cartography station would be more appropriate. Oh and I'd swap #9 & #12 around. Having Uhura on the Captains right is just weird.

If it were a smaller ship, possibly a civilian ship, I would recommend giving the captain his own console. Infact, I would recommend that now. Nothing big, just a small little readout like Riker's and Troi's on the E-D.

So if Shik designed the ship, her bridge would look a bit like this?
1: Hot tub, 2: Phaser control, 3: Science sofa, 4: Communications, 5: Science station (pops out), 6: Red alert lava lamp, 7: Helm / Navigation, 8: Main viewer, 9: Stellar cartography viewer, 10: Stellar cartography, 11: Multi-role, 12: Enginering, 13: Enginering display, 14: Coffee table / captains console, 15: Captains footrest, 16: Captains recliner, 17: Turbolift, 18: Enviro controls (doubles as a fire when inactive).
Despite my liking of the captains coffee table, I might have to go with Abans take on things.

I do hope that the hot tub doubles as the escape pod, otherwise it would just be a waste.
Isn't the coffee table a bit far from the recliner?
I like the concept though.
Who would be the First Office? J'Cuzzi? T'Spa?

No, this is brilliant!
You think I'm joking about the hot tub, but see, here's the thing. Non-combat ship. relaxed environment. You gotta figure on transports, freighters, & the like things would slip some. The captain shows up for duty in bathrobe & bunny slippers. The doctor makes moonshine. Little mods. And maybe the captain wants a hot tub.

Just an idea, but after looking at the bridge plans on Ex Astris and star trek schematics and I wonder if it would be an idea to use those roll-out consoles flanking Spock's science station on one or more of these stations to add more adaptable functionality. One or two standing stations and/or a console mounted on the inner rail could help to break thing up a little too. It also occurs to be that the person manning the aft station would be basically staring at the back of the captains head, so it may be an idea to sink the helm, nav & command stations a step or so deeper.

Still think the captain should get his own little computer console. WIll this be a ship commanded by a full bird captain, or a lower ranking officer?
