Would pay Zen to be able to install any purchased bridge on any ship.

in Builds, Powers, and Game Mechanics
With the unlocking of all ships for all factions, I would love to be able to install a bridge of my choice (from those I've unlocked) on any ship of my choice. For my own personal example, I love the Acheros, but the bridge is not something I love.
A feat such as swapping out a bridge on a starship would be a feat of significant engineering, thus I think requiring Zen to do it would be fully justified.

Thoughts?

    We need cryptic to offer more bridge support in general. It seriously bugs me that so many of the newer bridges don't even have an interior beyond that one room. They put absolutely zero effort into anything we aren't spending massive cash on.

    Like, why the hell is there no interior for the discovery era bridge (walker/gagarin)? Its not like they don't have plenty of onscreen references to make it - but they won't because there's no immediate profit in it.

    I'd love an actual ship interior for my lukari ships. The bridge looks good but that's all there is, and they didn't even bother to put actual textures on any of the consoles, just a generic starmap background.

    As already explained Bridges and interiors are no more. They cost too much in time and money to develop. Content on average take 3 to 6 weeks to develop where as bridges and interiors take anything up to 10 weeks to develop and costs way too much money.

    I undersrand they abandoned the idea of ship interiors as cost ineffective, just like exploration. Two central things to Star Trek that were scrapped in a Trek game, it's baffling but okay, it is what it is.

    However, I'd really love to swap the existing bridges in my ships. I'd like to use the Kobali bridge on my Vorgon ship, the Oddyssey one on my Galaxy or a real Klingon one on a Fek'Ihri ship instead of the bland generic room. That should be possible, right? With the faction unlock, Klingons could choose Fed bridges on Fed ships. Can't we expand this?

    The foundry is gone. Too many bugs and issues raised when maintenance took place. Again it was scrapped as not being cost effective. Too many people were needed to fix the issues.
