So, no special bridge for the Dauntless. 
How disappointing.

at best they might add a dauntless bridge as some kind of bridge pack later on.
Oh, of course. The lockbox ships coming out next week will get their own bridge, but not the other coveted T6 ships! :rolleyes:
Personally I have everything I want from the store. The only thing at this point I would buy are NEW Bridge packs.

Maybe we can have a career specific thing we can do that gives us a buff, like engies can go to Engineering and "Perform a diagnostic on x system" and we get a buff to that system for an hour, while Sci characters can go to the science lab and "Perform x analysis" for a sci oriented buff.
Right now there is almost 0 incentive to even go on our bridges. They make a decent meeting place every once in a while, and freighter/cell ship bridges have some extra stuff... but that's about it.
Well...since I bought half of them, sure would be nice to get my money back.
BTW Devs....if you bothered to actually FIX the damn bridges in relation to the Boffs that may or may not be buried halfway through the chair, maybe they would sale better.
I was hoping we would get the Dauntess bridge but I never really believed it would happen.
I doubt a visual bug is keeping the majority of players from buying bridge packs. It's is probably more of a 'I don't care about ship interiors" thing.
I understand why since its been said by Tacofangs on many occasions that ship interiors are time consuming and unless they play some type of mission role for a story arc they simply don't make them aside from the lock boxes, etc. I didn't expect there to be one but I was holding out hope for it.
As for the intel ships though, I don't recall hearing one way or the other, but would be nice for some kinda of stealth bridge. I bought the delta pack anyways and I really don't spend time on my bridge to care too much.

One of the biggest missed opportunities in STO is action onboard our own ships.
Seems to me that a radical pass through bridges could enable that.
First, remove all bridge packs (excluding the Connie and Defiant interiors).
You could refund current owners of bridge packs 25% back in zen, if you were feeling generous.
Second, make the Origin bridge the only bridge for Star Fleet ships.
Essentially take the ability to choose bridge away.
The exception would be full interior packs, like the Connie and Defiant, as well as the forthcoming Intrepid.
Third, make a Klingon bridge as good as the Origin bridge, Romulans have an excellent bridge now.
Finally, put the extra work into allowing the bridge to have a master systems display that shows the ship you are actually in.
By reducing the pool of bridges to one per faction, the devs are more able to justify the resources needed to polish them up nicely.
It also makes more realised interiors in general easier to do.
Taco has written how the most practical approach is by category/size of ship.
Standardising the bridge makes that a lot easier to do.
Over time, I would hope that such an approach would open up interiors to more dev attention in many ways.
The current complexity is the problem. Adding to it wont help.
I'm sorry but that's one of the most horrible ideas I've heard in a while. Taking away what little we have from us is never good. And the Origin bridge while looking modern just doesn't have the same feel or curves like some of the older bridges we have.
Plus I know a bunch of people that use and like the misscellanous bridges we currently have availible. Just as an ex. on my Tac.Human I use a Galaxy-R, with TNG uniforms and the Galaxy bridge from the Galaxy C-Store pack. I have a nice TNG theme going on. No refund on Earth would reduce the suckage I'd feel for having an Origin bridge on that ship.
The development of this game (unfortunately IMHO) is - money talks. In order to make interiors, they need to monetize them - at least according to what they say. The only way I can see this happening is if they turn our ship interiors into the equivalent of player housing in other games. That way they can monetize by making it a nice dilithium/zen sink, plus they even may add some other value and stuff to do in the interiors because it would pay off. But that means more options, not less.

I have a TOS crew in a TOS bridge and ship...I would hate to lose that
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
^^ This.
Honestly, the unique bridge played a big part in the episode featuring the Dauntless. I'm really saddened they did nothing with it. With Voyager and the new Intrepid bridge, from the looks of it, it seemed T6 would give the bridge some love. Sadly, no.
Today Smirk also said Intrepid bridge won't be purchaseable, either, btw.
How would this work?
Well, you queue up for the ground STF... Then it picks one of the player's bridge for the map, then everyone goes on it and the STF begin where you have to defeat the invaders while one or two of the team have to go to engineering and fix/remodulate something...
If none of the players in queue have a "qualifying bridge" there is a default origin bridge... (if you had a one room bridge like breen ship or dominion ship it would pick a default one)
When you play this STF you get to see the BOFFs of whomever's bridge is picked...
The Hot spots would be for spawning enemies and/or action points like the "Colony Data Download" action areas...
So this could be somethign that would maybe prompt more dev work on bridges...
The only reason too buy a bridge in the first place is for the visual experience.
Yeah, to be honest I didn't expect them to be giving it out for free. But since it was shown pretty well in VOY, I hoped that they'd make one and put it in the C-Store so the folks purchasing the Dauntless would have an option to pair it up with it's canon bridge.
BTW, Smirk said that the Intrepid bridge/interior set won't be availible to players at launch, I think Taco already said that on the forum today even before the livestream. But from what I understand it will be going to the C-Store eventually, so it'll become availible.
Well, that's at least *something*.
And I would totally buy a C-Store Dauntless bridge.
I know my opinion does not matter. Craptic will continue to produce what it wants. It is my belief that they are only fans in the case that "Voyager" is the only Star Trek. Yea, I saw your little poll, it only makes you a tool to what is popular.
There were so many details that you could have gone into, but that would require "True" fandom. In your case, you only care about revenue. What will make you the most money. I get that. I, however, have offered my services for free. I know what the Star Trek fan wants. I am one. You have only offered a source of revenue to fund what YOU want.
Some of us would enjoy the ability to acquire, and make assets to our ship. Not, "Here, what do you think would happen in the aftermath of the USS Voyager exploring the Delta-Quadrant."
Plainly, Cryptic, you suck.
Give us an ability to take command of our own ships. The way WE see fit. Why else would you put so much effort into the "Foundry". Is it because you knew your ideas were SO shallow. That you, indeed, needed fans to dictate what would come next.
Giving us a new bridge, and dare I say, the ability to create our own bridge, give us freedom.
From my previous posts, and answers to them, I assume that is indeed too much, and not worthy of your time.
I have logged once in over a month. I also have a lifetime subscription, I guess we'll have to see, and wait it out.
A single layout would make it easier for the devs to create ground map interiors with appropriate content and they would only have to create new ones when a new, suitably different hull shape is added.
I don't know how complicated it would be, but additional skin styles could be added for some minor customization of color and texture.
Ideally though, I would like to see a ship interior system as robust and flexible as the old supergroup base system from City of Heroes was. Playing with that thing was a game all of its own.
Time will only tell!
Huh? Are you sure? The said it would be two months ago.
No unique bridge, then Cryptic better not put a "unique" price tag on it.
If the Guardian and Dauntless aren't going to be unique, then they better not be any more expensive than the Regent, or the Excelsior or the Thunderchild, etc etc etc.
Because if they kick up the price just because it's "Tier 6" and don't toss in the unique stuff, then they don't need more money for a ship that isn't any more unique or special than the rest of the ships on the market.
Take heed Cryptic.

Yeah, I probably would as well, if there were one. I'm on the fence about this ship and that could've been the thing that persuades me to get it. As it is, I'm still not so sure about it.
Same here. With unique bridge, I would have definitely bought it. As it is, however, I may or may not. And will probably get a Vaadwaur lockbox ship first.
