Any news on the Prometheus Bridge?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
When I saw the Prometheus Bridge in the Expanded Universe Part 1 video, I was pretty excited. It's one of the things I was looking forward to in Season One.

I didn't see it in the C-Store. I checked the notes, and the new Patch FAQ stickied in the forums. There wasn't any mention about the bridge. I also checked the C-Store page and looked over the screenshots of the bridges on that page for the Federation bridge packs, and it wasn't there neither.

Any news on it? Was it scrapped? Is it delayed? Is there a schedule when/if it's coming?

Curious minds, would like to know. :)

    Well, it seems that the Bridge packs are tied to a certain class of ships. There's one in the c-store now for Star Cruisers and another for light cruisers.

    So it seems likely to me that the Prometheus bridge will be in the Advanced Escort pack. My guess is that the advanced escort pack will be released at the same time as the new t5 escort variant, which is set for May 13 if I'm not mistaken.

    I see now why all ships can't simply use all bridge variants, so they can sell them all separately for each ship type..

    Thank you. :)

    That did cross my mind too. But I was hoping for confirmation. (And the hopes that it will be earlier than the ships ^_^)

    kinda like blizzard does in WOW only instead of a bridge which looks cool and makes things distinct you get a stupid pet that nobody cares about and serves no function hell they don't even look cool.

    They're not tied to certain classes, actually. I do like the Prometheus bridge, though... my third favorite behind the STIV and STVI Enterprise-A bridges.

    You don't need a specific type of ship. It refers to the SIZE of the bridge, not which ship type can use the bridge. Yes it wasn't explained well.

    It was also the bridge of the Dauntless, I think.

    could be never payed much attention to it, but because it was quite and neutral design I wouldn't be surprised it was reused even more.

    At least they look similar... maybe not now that I look at them side by side. Trek seldom builds new sets.

    It's one of the last bridges in the "Expanded Universe Part 1" video. The second to the last one, before the video ends.
