Should ships with unique bridges be able to change their bridges like any normal ship?

disqord

With the new Galaxy bridge coming very soon, I, like many other players, plan to purchase it as soon as it becomes available. Except, there's one problem:
I have no idea if I'll even be able to use the thing.

I own many ships with unique bridges, and they end up being nothing more than a single room and some consoles. Compared to the upcoming Galaxy, these are little more than a joke. I'd willingly spend money on picking up the Galaxy bridge if it meant I could use it, but otherwise it seems there is little point to it, when it's going to be impossible for me to use 90% of the time.

So, I want to ask the community if they would prefer to let all ships (Minus obvious exceptions such as shuttles) be able to change their interior as they can change paint schemes and item visuals, or if they would like the unique ships to be uncustomizable in favour of accuracy to the regular ship.

Yes, I think all ships should have access to the default bridges.

For the sake of having more options, sure!

Yes and more interior than just a bridge

Yes. Possibly also with some interiors extrapolated for Bridges without lower decks.

Probably won't happen, but it would be nice.

It used to be that I could use a regular interior for my Dyson ship then they changed it to Dyson only. That was rather annoying. Plus I'm sure any Federation or Klingon would change the Breen interior so they wouldn't freeze to death!

I'm not sure about the Galaxy interior since in some rooms you can see outside at the actual Galaxy class ship exterior. It wouldn't work then.

No, I think unique ships should not be allowed to use normal bridges whatsoever.

Remove all existing interiors, unique or otherwise,and replace them with generic interiors (per faction) that can be used in story and foundry missions.

All the old (unique or otherwise) interiors unlocked by a player can be put behind a holodeck entrance accessible on the new generic interiors, and become foundry maps.

I'm all for the idea of using whatever bridge one fancies for any ship they have, be it a craft's default, if they so prefer, to any bridge one takes a fancy too.

I also wish the unique bridges had unique crew quarters and unique engine rooms. The best part of playing a Romulan is visiting the engine room and watching that singularity core. I also wish you could take the unique bridges and put them on any ship you own. Some ships, the bridge is the best reason to fly them. Also, the devs went to such expense to make all the unique bridges, why not sell them in the Z-store? I could think of some I would buy in a heartbeat. Some of those bridges are awesome. Oh, while we're on this subject, the bridge (and the whole interior of the ship) is the worst part of playing KDF. I feel like I need a flashlight to visit the bridge/interior of my own ship.

I guess I thought unique bridges could already be replaced by any other bridge the player owned. But if not, yes, for sure. More customization options are always welcome.

Definitely.

If they're going to keep telling the excuse that these expensive ships are not worth the effort to get a full interior because they make them so rare that almost no one has access to them (see the irony here and why I think it's a pretty lame excuse?) then they should at least make standard interiors available for those ships.

Not that I expect it to happen. Just look at some of the latest more exclusive ships. They've gotten less and less customisation options so I don't expect them to suddenly turn this around and start offering these options.

There's no sane reasoning against this. Your bridge is only available to you anyway, arbitrary restrictions are nonsensical here. Plus I'd like to use the "unique" bridges on other ships, like the Kobali one on the Vorgon ship and vice versa.

Yes. And acquiring a ship with a unique interior should also unlock that interior for other ships.

In addition there is one 'unique' bridge I want to copy to another ship. The Odyssey bridge. It just looks made for a Jupiter carrier.

100% this.

I LOVE the Odyssey bridge, and I'd love to be able to use it in some of my ships but I can't.

I think once you've acquired a unique bridge or interior, you should be able to use it on any ship you own.

Well, it seems that some people at least agree with me.

I just don't see what the problem is in adding more customization options for starship interiors. If people want to "downgrade" to a default interior instead of a cramped functionless room, I say let them.

And as I've already mentioned, I'd have no problem buying the Galaxy interior if it meant I could actually use it, but otherwise I feel the restriction might end up gimping sales.

Yes. Always in favour of more customisation options for anything in this game tbh. I feel you should be able to use any bridge on any ship (outside of clearly faction/ship limited ones) to allow you maximum freedom, just like with costumes.

Totally agree on that one, I was even surprised it wasn't the case considering the potential for another reason to buy ships.
If it was possible to have a permanent collection of bridges, I'd totally buy an Odyssey to put its bridge on my Vengeance. Or a Suliban Cell Ship for, you know, the Suliban Flight-Deck ship that should have it already.
