Hmm, "Captain is isolated" seems to be the only complaint. There are intercoms to each station. However, I also did this so the captain moves about on the bridge, not just spending all his time sitting in his chair.
I suppose I could try to redesign the bridge a little. But, as you can see on the CGI the bridge is a bigger than most.
I wanted to go for a more larger operations center rather than the standard bridge look.

Wow, Hobbes. That is great. Solid-looking. What program was the CG done in? Are you working on an MSD?

My turn.
About a year ago, I drew this as a preliminary concept sketch for Jeff's Tokyo series. It was just a quicky.
A few weeks later, I refined it a bit; it's the one on top. I added integral impulse decks in the rear hull cutouts & outrigger single-tube torpedo pods. I also did a quick sketch of the underside contours of the secondary hull. I also did an "older look" design (the one on bottom) using some of the elements from the refined design & my Odessa-class design.
About a week ago, I did a more fleshed-out ship design--both dorsal & ventral. The secondary hull is round, or at least no less than an 85-degree ellipse in cross-section; It "bleeds" up into the near-top of the arrowhead; see the aft of my Richmond-class design for an idea of it.
I was just bored, yo.

The second level. A bit rough, but otherwise not bad.
You can see how the second tier overlooks the first. I also added a XO and VIP chair next to the CO chair so the captain isn't so isolated anymore.
As far as the captain's office goes, it's based off Sisko's. It serves as both ready room and briefing room in one. Even added a little model of Pioneer off on the side.

I really like what you've doen witht he bridge. The whole "ops center" idea gives the ship a neat feeling to it. The nacelle pylons attaching to the front of the ship is also something I like alot. I have an unreleased design myself that has the same mounting of the nacelles. The cgi work is good too. Are you planning on making a MSD?

Not yet. I'm working on the Engineering section.

Like the Enterprise-D the entrances are at the sides instead of in the center like Voyager. With a large ship directory in the same place as the Ent-D's (centered on the wall below 'USS Pioneer').

You can see how parts of it look down to tier 1. Private conference offices at the sides.. for who ever would be working on a project and needs a quieter work area. I also modified the master situation "pool table" on tier 1.

Anyone with MSD making skills, please feel free to do me a huge favor... I have no clue how to do one.
I've tried to make the outline similar to Voyager's with the nacelle deattached from the main hull. Also I left out the weapon's pod. I'm still trying to nail down the shape of it.
