Cryptic, Are you planning on releasing more bridges?

I was hoping to get an answer to this, are we ever going to get more bridges added? What we have is great but I'd love to see the Nebula/Ambassador Bridge, a more realistic Galaxy Class bridge that isn't so huge and monstrous, as well as some new interior options. The interiors of ships have been so ignored it is a crime. I'd really like to be able to customize my engine room as well as my bridge. The warp core is the heart of the ship and there are so many variations. The Galaxy Class engine room was the best and I would love to see it.

Finally, any word on a The Next Generation pack?

    What I'd like to see are actual interiors for the lockbox ships.

    If they start making bridge packs again it should be a full interior and not just a bridge!

    Interiors would be nice but if I'm honest I'd say I'd rather they release new content. Just my opinion!!

    This has been mentioned many, many times in many, many places.

    Whilst I too would like to see more ship interiors in general, unless there are actual gameplay missions that take place, there's isn't much point in Cryptic investing dev resources on a private zone people almost never visit (apart from RP or special DOff assignements).

    I'm thinking perhaps an entire season devoted to ship interiors, as per the proposal centersolace and I have been writing (see sig):

    - Episode missions that either wholly take place aboard the player's own ship interior, or the remastering of existing missions to include scenes using ship interiors.

    - Canon room/deck layouts for each major ship class, skipping unused decks as required.

    - The ability to mix and match interior decor styles (e.g. doors, corridors, arches, LCARS schemes) from either 2409 presets or canon interior packs.

    - Actual functionality in rooms (e.g. Cargo Bay for general storage, Terrarium for pet breeding, Shuttlebay for configuring shuttles, Armory for crafting ground equipment)

    - Cosmetic customisation (e.g. shipwide crew NPC uniforms, BOff positions on Bridges, custom costumes for DOff assignment contacts).

    I don't like the use of the phrase "more content" - it's far too nebulous a term.

    Content consists of:
    - Ships
    - Costumes
    - Maps (Ground / Interior / Space)
    - FE Missions
    - Social or Adventure Zones
    - Reputation systems
    - PvE / PvP / STFs
    - Fleet Holdings (e.g. Embassy, Starbase)

    So I think when most people scream "i wanna moar content!loloneeleven", they most likely actually mean more episode missions or adventure zones.

    Cryptic has strongly suggested they will release a TNG bridge pack and that a Voyager bridge pack might be released at some point after that. We can also assume that new lock box ships will come with new bridges as well as potentially new designs for a romulan faction, if and when it is released.

    Other than that they have been very . . . cryptic.

    I would love to have more bridges and interiors. TNG bundle would be an instant buy for me! Still a bit miffed I didn't get a bridge for my vesta considering the other bundle ships all have one. Need a 2409 style corridor interior to go with the Odyssey bridge. Please Cryptic, MOAR INTERIORS! :D

    I would like the Bridges to resemble the ship in layout
    Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
    Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
    Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

    JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse

    Like I said, I have already written a full proposal (see sig) with most of the things you guys want. I'd suggest you guys have a read.

    I'd like bridges/interiors to go with the Gorn, Orion, and Nausicaan ships. Klingon interior design is depressing.
    My old (and now mostly obsolete) exploration suggestions thread. Give it a read. :)

    I'm not paying for an interior until there's some reason to go there regularly. No, 5 minutes a day for the Alien Artifact Console doohickey doesn't count.

    After that? Sure. I'll pony up.

    I presume you've actually read the proposal that was written, which explicitly mentioned this?

    I think there's a lot of room for creativity there yes. How much of it can become reality I don't know. A fully functional ship interior sounds great, but I have my doubts it could happen. Which isn't to say I wouldn't enjoy it, merely that I have my doubts it will ever come to pass.

    But an "on board ship daily" of some kind seems quite possible. And it would be neat. There are dozens of things that have happened on Star Trek that boil down to "person comes on board ship, things happen". I could see a lot of them being incorporated into a semi-random daily, akin to the exploration cluster missions but just on board your ship. They could add a console in the captain's quarters to start it. Something like that.
