While so much doom & gloom at superfluous stuff like more ship outsides with the comming addon lets praise the real deal & heart of Star Trek: Ship insides!
Any info out yet if the new intrepid interior will be modular like the Constitution*/free interior? (*which I did not bought not be cause its not awesome (it is awesome) but because I have not ship in use old enough for its style; several other ppl probably too).
With the sadly neglected amount of interior stuff released it would be awesome if it would be 3 different size with changeable bridge modular. Would love a new interior at my oddy but love the aquarius bridge to much to replace it.

Right now, I got the feeling Cryptic is going to hose us with the Interiors again. People might remember when the Belfast came out, Cryptic gave the finger to players who bought the Defiant Interior Bridge Pack (which supposed to be a canonical interior, but wasn't). And instead of retroacting the Interior with the Bellerophon, they likely are going to create a new Bundle or a Tier 6 Intrepid that's going to have the interior. So those who bought the Bellerophon, the Tier 5 Intrepid Refit, and the Intrepid Interior bridge pack, will be getting a double middle finger.
At this point, there is only one player ship interior made from the new Voyager stuff. It consists of 3 decks.
Deck 2: Transporter, Mess Hall
Deck 3: Captain's Quarters, Sickbay
Deck 11: Engineering, Astrometrics
Then, of course, there's the Bridge, which should have it's Ready Room and Briefing Rooms attached.
I believe (I may have missed one or two) that every chair in the interior should be sittable (except in some missions/where already occupied)
Will it be possible to update bridge interiors so that if you have enough Boffs to fill the number of seats, that those seats are filled by Boffs and not random, generic "X Officer" NPCs? It's a minor pet peeve, I grant you, but it's another nice touch to the game.
So Voyager or interpid class interiors will feature in a mission? Ever since you guys brought on tuvok I have been playing Elite force again, still an awesome game after all these years. It will be cool to be back on voyager again.
Yeah, it's kinda sad that the old method of standing on something and using a sit emote looks a hundred times better than the interact sitting, because there's actual animation, not one awkward frozen pose. The female interact sitting pose isn't as bad as the male one, but still worse looking than using one of the emotes, which have actual animation to them.
According to the Dev Panel, Voyager will be the first place you visit in the new expansion. There will be missions.
It was never advertised as such from what I can remember.
TRIBBLE. Not a mini-game to survive Neelix's cooking, I hope.
Isn't there going to be two versions of the mess hall?
Or, will it be the actual Voyager ship will have the kitchen, and the player interior equivalent will just have the original mess hall (with just replicators)?
Quick question will npcs be in the voyager uniform like with the tos pack bridge?
[/SIGPIC]
The BOFF seating is a bit of a mess, I believe that the BOFFs on your interior are usually the same ones you beamed down with in the last mission for some reason
Hence, whenever I beam down to a one BOFF zone My bridge is all generic excpet for one BOFF.
( Side note, I am very glad that they wear Odyssy now since my BOFFS and characters do, so they look less out of place than they used too)
Maybe bad wording on my side, sorry. Not an english native speaker
My hope is that, if this interior comes with a bridge, this is not mandatory like it is with the defiant interior. So I could choose for example the Aquarius bridge from the Oddy (or any other from bridge packs) together with the Intrepid interior.
Also what I'd like to know if it this interior has, like the constitution or the free interiors, three sizes. And if not would you rather place it the small, medium or big scale compared to the scales available?
Thank you for taking time talking about a red headed stepchild like interiors in a probably hectic time short before a major STO release.
Taco, if you're around I have two questions.
1. Does it have trophy slots? Those are really important to some of us, and it's a nice way to customize the interior.
2. Why don't you use existing interiors for ships who lack them? An example being the Tal'shiar Adapted Romulan ship. It has only a bridge, but an interior was created for it for the mission "Mind Game" Where you're indoctrinated. That interior contains everything from a brig, to an engineering bay, a lab, a lounge, a holodeck, a Sickbay, and a transporter room.
I understand you will not create interiors for most new ships, but why not use the interiors when they actually exist in the files?
If I recall, the kitchen was actually the Captain's Mess. Neelix simply took the initiative to convert it into his kitchen.
Normally, Janeway would get her own private dining room -- possibly an officer's mess.
It will be a mini mission where you have to mash the mouse buttons as quick as possible, to stop yourself from chundering...
Highlighted part, agreed and seconded! I love the Defiant interior but the bridge doesn't work with all ships. Always wished they were decoupled and could use the interior with a different bridge.

They look pretty damn close to scale.
Curious, why isn't the locations matching canon? Sickbay was Deck 5 and the Transporter was on Deck 4. Or is this one of those things that had to be sacrificed due to the game?
Well the transporter room one can be answered easily, there is probably more then one room.
Eh no. Both Transporter Rooms were on Deck 4.
It was.
Never said interior. They promoted those bridge packs as canonical bridge sets, but they were just some slapped-together facsimiles (I.E. "eh, close enough").
They never said that at all, find me some proof because I recall no such thing.
I remember them saying Defiant styled bridges, not not Canon designs.
Asking for proof on forums that are long gone. :rolleyes:
The closest they ever said they weren't canon is them calling them "varients", but they also promoted them as canonical bridges facsimiles as well. Which the criticism lead them to develop the accurate interiors with the Belfast after the success of the TOS interior.
So why keep bad reproductions?
So I didn't see the bridges as themed at all.
As for the decks...Meh.
The goal, at this moment, is to have both versions available to players.
No idea. I'd imagine it would be the Odyssey standard we've set recently, but that will be up to Design.
Ah, sorry. I get it now. I don't know the answer though. That's all in how design sets it up. It's good to make your opinions heard now though.
The interior is one size. I don't expect we'll be making multiple sizes of it. I'd say it's a medium scale interior, but I don't know the sizing all that well.
1. I don't think there is any plans to add Trophy slots at this time. The trophy system is a mess to set up and keep working. I don't think we've dealt with Trophies in any of the recent bridges/interiors. I don't expect that to change here.
2. That is not just a Tal'Shiar Ship, that's HAKEEV's ship. That interior is very specifically made for Hakeev. Hence it's not hooked up for normal player use.
Design said we only got 3 decks to deal with. They didn't want every room to be alone with a turbolift. So we consolidated down to 3, and kept the important things where they should be. i.e. the things with windows (Captain's Quarters, and Mess Hall), as well as Engineering all stay on their respective decks, and the others we moved a deck or two to match up to the others.
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.
