Ddi they actually say they were making Defiant interiors? That would be awesome. Would also like to see Next generation and Voyager interiors, as well as more choices in general, customization options, etc.
It was mentioned by Al Rivera (sp?) on the Priority One podcast (i think #66). I recall hearing it when I was listening for details on the +1 Odyssey.
He mentioned they were definitely working on the Defiant interior. I am not sure how far development is on that and I can't recall if he mentioned how it would be obtained so I can't speak to it being on the c-store or not but I'm betting c-store.
Honestly, the community should expect that anything that can be placed on the c-store will be from now on. Additionally, anything they *have* to release in game for free will likely have a complement or +1 in the c-store (such as with the Odyssey).
Surely it should replace the "almost-a-Defiant" bridge? Also it's a shame most of the smaller bridges are rubbish, it's hard to find one that "fits" the Excelsior properly. I use one of the Prometheus ones, but it's irritating having the wrong MSD at the back.
Hold on now, since when did they say they were charging us for this?
My impression was that this was going to be a mission unlock or mission related accolade unlock.
I'd be surprised it it's not C-Store, I don't honestly recall an implication that it would be anything else (though I'm with you in that I'd like it to be)
My best estimate? The 16th or the 23rd. It's bound to be a C-Store update this month.
I have to admit it would be cool to have a more accurate interior. But ship interiors are so useless now I think it would just be wasted money. Am I really willing to pay $10+ just to run around in a nonfunctional ship interior once or twice for 2 minutes before totally forgetting about it and never going back? I am leaning towards no.

its been made. they showed it on a stoked episode a while back. it looks fantastic.
i have heard no dates but i would say it might be released somewhere around episodes 4 or 5
i think the next couple of updates will be bajoran vedek robes, which leaked for about 2 days back in december and then the new yellowstone runabout Al mentioned the week after. those two would tie into their respective episodes.
The STOked episode that toured the cryptics office actually showed the new defiant bridge. Theres also been various pictures floated on twitter and such. At least the graphics were done months and months ago, no idea about the code behind them though.
It was always my impression that there would be some sort of Ds9 bundle released, somewhat like the TOS and Ent ones.

Kinda got beat to it ^^^
and your logic on the robes + Runabout seems impeccable.

The TOS interior was discussed as being the first in a line of "replica" interiors.
I would expect any future interiors to have similar price/distribution methods to the TOS pack.
Rivera recently suggested that once they have also done the Galaxy and Intrepid, they might retrofit that work towards a revamp of the "stock" interiors.
If they're doing a Galaxy, I'd think an Enterprise-A wouldn't be too hard since all the sets are Enterprise-D sets with a coat of paint and decals. Except for the bridge. And the Undiscovered Country bridge is the TNG battle bridge.
In my mind, what would make the most sense is to do Galaxy, then Intrepid, then Enterprise-A/Excelsior combo pack where the lower decks are redecoed from the Enterprise-D and the bridge is the Undiscovered Country A set with an option to swap out to a Prometheus bridge that's been tweaked back into its Excelsior form. (Since the Excelsior bridge was redressed for the Prometheus.) Then do the Sovereign.
Then make the stock STO sets into a blue/grey hodgepodge of the C-Store interior assets.

When STOaked went to visit Cryptic studios last year they had footage of the new interiors as they were being worked on.
When the KDF side is finished :P
j/k
