Caitian Atrox Carrier needs its own bridge

I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere else....... But how many of you guys feel for the 2k cp we paid for the Caitian Atrox Carrier that it should of come with its own special bridge not the already seen fed bridges we have had for sometime.:(

    It's already been posted *multiple* times on the boards, including this thread in this very sub-forum.

    As I stated there, other than the Oddysey/Bortasqu (which, when it all comes down to it, are 6000 C-point ships), what other 2000 C-point ship has its own special bridge/interior?

    Would a ship specific bridge for the Atrox have been welcome? Most certainly. But for 'only' 2000 points, I honestly wasn't expecting one. If they provided one for the Atrox, many people would be up in arms about not getting specific bridges for the other 2000 point ships, IMO. (Not that those shouldn't/couldn't get specific bridges either.)

    While I can understand what you're saying I think the cost of the ship should have nothing to do with it, I think the fact that it's a non-human/non-klingon ship should mean it has a unique bridge, I'm not sure if the Vulcan science ship has its own but the Atrox, Chel Gret, Stalker Fighter and no doubt many other ships should really have their own bridges. Again I can understand it's because they're the cheaper ships but c'mon they're 'alien' ships and kinda deserve their own bridges.

    It really bugs me that all of these lockbox ships get their own bridges, while the ships we're paying for on the cstore dont get a damn thing.

    The atrox and d'kyr both need custom interiors - not just bridges, but INTERIORS - that match their designs. The andorian escorts, orion cruisers, gorn science ships, and nausicaan destroyers all need the same treatment.

    This is lazy design on cryptic's part, and needs to be rectified at no cost to the people who are currently using these craft.

    Doesnt mean it isnt a valid point still, this just shows how long cryptic has been ignoring the issue.

    When you pay $250 for a ship off the C-store, maybe you'll get your custom bridge.

    I lol'd.

    Seriously though, for a bridge, that design would be the cat's meow.

    would love to see a custom interior...or hell just change the interior colors based on the bridge being used...i for one prefer using the brotherhood 4-pack, which suits it just fine in both color scheme and size for the bridge. would be awesome to have the color scheme matching the bridge on a Large layout plan.

    It doesnt cost that much for a lockbox ship unless you're factoring in bad luck. Hell, you can get a lockbox ship with nothing but energy credits by buying the keys on the exchange.

    flammed for posting on an old thread... at the same time, if he made another thread about the same thing, he woulda been yelled at for starting a new thread on a topic when one already existed.... damned if you do, damned if you don't....

    I just bought one of the bridge packs for my Atrox. The Emissary package.

    Yeah, it wasn't really meant for her, but it looks right. Right colors. Tons of stations I like to imagine are for monitoring fighter wings.

    Its actually kinda nice.

    Some time ago I posted an idea in the C-Store section about a generic alien bridge interior, which I still think could be a decent option for all those non-starfleet/kdf ships.

    Let's say, both FED and KDF (and soon Romulans) could buy this ~500-1000 Zen bridge pack, that would feature one original ship interior, with several colour variants (for example black/green/brown/blue/orange/silver-ish). This could be universal, usable on most customisable ships. While not ideal, it could at least partially help the issue of Vulcan/Caitian/Orion/Nausicaan/Fek'Ihri/Gorn ships all using FED/KDF interiors. If anything, it would at least give players an alternative.

    Well, I know I'd buy it...

    I switch between the pandora and ToS bridge. Although a real Atrox bridge would be great, I'd rather have a fleet version first, or at least a bit of a buff to complete with the lobi carriers. Like I'd like to use the fleet pattern gamma console on it.

    That's just another lazy solution to the problem, and laziness is why we're asking in the first place.

    Not really expecting a bridge to be added to the Atrox. It would be nice, yes, but unless they do another Caitian ship and build the bridge for both ships, I don't think we'll see it happen.

    Or they develop a nice bit of bridge-customization tech [CO's hideout would be a nice improvement imo].

    But what exactly would an Atrox bridge and interior look like? I am envisioning scratch posts in all staterooms and litter boxes in private locations. Other than that, I suppose any current bridge of large cruiser size would do.

    And that's probably why we won't get one. There's not really any canon source showing what a caitian bridge should look like.

    There were never any canon caitian ships either, but they still created the Atrox.

    I imagine the interior would use similar materials (the refractive/iridescent blue, with blue lighting) and would probably have archways and curved shapes to the halls, rooms, and consoles. It really would not be that difficult to come up with something that matches the exterior appearance of the ship.
