I love the klaxonnused but honestly the bridge is too small for the class. This is a heavy cruiser a defiant style beidge just doesn’t fit. I could see thos bridge on adestroyer or light cruiser
@@paulrasmussen8953 It's due to the raised central platform, it creates an optical illusion of there being less space, while the pits other bridges have at the center make those look bigger than they actually are. It's an interesting effect, and I wanted the raised platform both as a callback to the original Defiant bridge seen only in 'The Search', as well as to highlight the Akira as a battle oriented ship. Anyway, if you actually look at an overhead view of the bridge (like the one on my website) you can see how big it really is. :)
Not bad, but I think the Akira would have a much bigger bridge more like the Nebula class, especially if it was operating in a carrier role. This layout would be great for a Sabre, Norway, or Steamrunner though.
It would have been nice if you had left in some nods to the great age and history of these ships, instead of pasting LCARS over everything. They would, after all, have been nearly a hundred years old at the time.
As with all my interiors I'm trying to be faithful to how they were displayed on the show, and on TNG every Excelsior class we saw had LCARS rather than the classic displays. Plus the Potemkin would've been a bit over 50 by TNG, not at all near 100. :)
This video is amazing! Great job with everything. Excelsior class is my favorite. One thing though, I would like to see Brandon Routh as Superman again.
Most Federation shuttlebays are way, WAY too small when you think about the supposed number of shuttles a ship has. Where are they stored and worked on? Where are the spare parts? The only one that seems remotely realistic is the Galaxy’s main shuttlebay.
That is amazing, the VHS thing was a nice touch to be honest. Though the set is amazing looking, a kind of futuristic looking Galaxy-class bridge. Amazing work.
"We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories... And those that carry us forward, are dreams" Given that the Thunderchild is named after a fictitious ship in an HG Wells story, I thought it fitting the quote on the plaque being his.
star trek cargo and shuttle bays have always freaked me out. Imagine standing in one like this that's completely open to the cosmos. The only thing in between you and that is some sort of force field that could break at any moment.
I like it but, I think the alert bar need to be higher above the work station or on top of the pillar lights. Don't need that flash when I'm trying to focus on my console.
The Excelsior class really is a strange ship, the secondary hull for example is almost just 2 decks. Take away the main shuttle bay, the weird hump the pylons attach to, the neck, the auxiliary craft bay on the bottom, and the deflector assembly along with its shroud. Whats left is something that looks like a 2 deck high surfboard.....
