No ToS bridge on the T6 T'liss Warbird. -_-

So I got the ship for one of my alts, but I found that the Devs didnt even introduce a one room bridge in the ship fitting the ToS style.. Feel kind of cheated given how expensive the ship was. Im not asking for much, just a one room bridge would have been fine, but its simply the default Romulan bridge... Very cheap of you Cryptic...

    Considering they never made a TOS Klingon or Romulan Bridge, and the Fed one is behind the TOS Bundle...

    *shrug*

    I guess I never really 'get into' internal aeshetics. As long as my ship performs as it should, I'll just pick an interior that I like, and don't have to buy.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Well, you are like, the 10th player to own the T'liss Temporal Light Warbird. So while you are part of a tiny elite club (welcome!), it would be kinda a waste of resources for them to make a bridge just for the 10 of us.

    Maybe if they had added Romulan arc to the TOS content they added to Agents of Yesterday, there would be enough Romulan TOS characters to justify a Romulan TOS bridge in the style of the one seen in "Balance of Terror".

    If wishes were fishes and all that.

    Yeah they come with the universe bridge. Only reason i have the tos bridge in my connie it is because of the tos pack. Remember they are 29th century temporal ships not tos ships :) (probably the hypertechnicality that allowed Cryptic to use them for t6 at all)

    As the others have said, the TOS Constitution bridge was pre-existing, they made that back before they decided selling bridge packs was unprofitable, as apparently I'm one of 3 people that ever bought them :p

    Also, the bridge seems to be very small and impractical:
    latest?cb=20050817055822&path-prefix=en
    From Memory Alpha:
    In the revised final draft script of "Balance of Terror", the bridge was described as "a cockpit-like room" where the bulkheads were a "severe, red-toned color" and there was a row of "hooded consoles", with "large conduits that loom" overhead, as well as "an open hatch in b.g." The room was also characterized as featuring "the dull-metallic throbbing of instrument machinery," and "seat-harnesses", though seats themselves were never mentioned as being in the room.
    The bridge that appears in "Balance of Terror" was designed by Art Director Matt Jefferies. Owing to the fact that the episode was based on a couple of World War II submarine movies, the set for the Romulan bridge conveyed the cramped feel of a World War II submarine, complete with a periscope-like monitor. (Star Trek: The Original Series 365, p. 063)

    Wow funny now thats its mentioned that way, the rombop was flown exactly like a naval sub. Complete with constitution class spy cameras apparently that Kirk could tap into :)

    Also, the bridge seems to be very small and impractical:

    small <> impractical. There was room to stand your watch and a console in front of you to do whatever was needed. Any more is in fact, impractical.

    From a realism and historical navel point of view, the TOS Enterprise sets were criticized at the time for being too large (sadly a requirement of the need to move the large camera of the time around in them) and that was before they switched in a lounge and handball court for a bridge in TNG.

    I have to say, the lack of Romulan bridges in general really makes me sad. Like... I get that they had some issues with the bridge packs.

    But as a Romulan? I have literally *one* bridge option, and all it is a re-done version of the default generic Federation bridge. It's super tiny and pretty bleh outside the ready room.

    And it's a shame. I'd love to see a TOS Bird of Prey bridge, and we also got a really good look in TNG at the inside of a D'Deridex bridge a few times. Heck, even Nemesis showed us what the inside of a Mogai and Scimitar look like. Also, I'm stuck with the tiny "totally not Federation" bridge. Sadness, but I guess a pretty minor issue at the end of the day.

    Romulan is my favorite, needless to say, they definitely need a larger variety of bridges... they have what? 2? 3?... BORING!

    Right, I believe the T'laru also has it's own unique bridge, so that would make it 3. But only 1 if you don't own either of those ships..... I DEMAND MORE ROMULAN BRIDGES!!!! *Slams fist on table*
  • kodachikunokodachikuno Member Posts: 6,020 Arc User1
    Im sure they'll make those right after the gorn ships get even one

    The Gorn? They are a buncha chumps. Second-class citizens in the Klingon Empire. I imagine their bridges were cardboard and paper mache before being conquered by the Klingons.

    The Romulans can make ships without shipyards. They are just that bad-TRIBBLE. The Romulans should have more bridge options simply because they will their ships into existence.
