any chance we're going to get more 2409 style bridges.

Seeing as some of the recent changes have updated Federation interior design as seen in facility 4028, the Aquarius, parts of the Nukara that look way too federationy to by Tholian, and the operations level of Fleet Starbases as well as the design updates shown in the Sao Paulo-class, Armitage-class, Thunderchild-class, Bellephron-class, Venture-class, Regent-class, Exeter-class, and Odyssey-class I was hoping we could get some shinny new Aquarius inspired bridges to match at some point.
Also you could make some new updated bridges for the Klingons so they don't feel left out.

Because let's face it: most of the bridges we have now, that were here since launch, they're just too bland.
More options would be real nice.
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Like finally installing the red carpet I ordered in my Vivid Bridge.
For me, alot of the bridges created by the Devs just dont live up to what Ive come to expect when I think of StarFleet Bridges. The massive bridge with twenty pillars comes to mind when I think of what a StarFleet bridge would look like gone wrong.
When they make a bridge map, they can either make it only for player interior use, or make it for both player interiors AND for missions that may feature combat. If it's to be used for the latter, it MUST have the high ceilings and the large layout. This is a technical requirement that isn't going to go away, due to the third-person perspective and the number of combatants that can be on a map.
So, their choices are:
1) Make it interior-only. N amount of work.
2) Make it both missions and interiors. N amount of work.
3) Make a mission version and an interior version. N*2 amount of work.
Every "interior-only" small map is N work expended without a new choice for missions, and mission design is already constrained by the amount of maps available.
So they're doing it, but they're not doing it quickly, because the map artists also have to make maps for missions, and presumably whatever else those guys work on. I don't know what the division of labor there is, but every minute spent on things only usable for player interiors is one less minute to work on things usable in missions. Since players spend very little time in their ship interiors in general (obviously some players spend a lot more time in there than others), it makes more sense to make the maps usable for more than one thing.
AMEN to this, I fully support this idea, do want
I'd also like an updated Voyager bridge and Defiant bridge and Prometheus bridge

I love the Odyssey style bridge that basically re-fits the older "Star Cruiser" bridge type with closer helm and tactical officers and a larger viewscreen. But for heaven's sake, it's still the size of a small stadium and sporting something like 50 unused stations with 13 crew members scattered around the place. I wouldn't mind seeing that same bridge at 30% size. A place where I don't have to shout commands at my helm officer.
I was also quite fond of the prometheus style bridge, but still felt that my helm and tactical officers were seated quite far away from the captain. Also, quite a few stations on that bridge, but only 7 officers? Why can't I have all of my bridge officers, make the place look as busy as the bridges in the TV show.
Is that so?
I'm doing a Foundry mission set on the Defiant interior right now.
Saying that, I REALLY want to see a package with the TNG Galaxy interior and bridge. If they did that I'd drop my Odyssey in an instant for the Fleet Galaxy

Now do it with a full team of Tacs, all with Security Teams and combat pets out, against a group of NPCs scaled to match them.
Now imagine all of that if you can't zoom the camera out far enough to have your head not fill 1/3rd of the screen.
:P
There's some tech in Neverwinter that should give them the pieces they need to give us this. I'm hopeful.
+1 to this....the closest I can see a bridge to working for the Atrox is the Healer set that is dark blue/purple...and that we have to buy -.-....just need the custom interiors (*cough* purple/dark blue coloring and layout sort of like the Covenant cruisers to match the rest of the ship *cough*) to go with it and I'm good.
I just played this.
And, OHBOY, is it fun. You either have to manage well or give up on micromanaging and focus on the big picture.
Thanks for this 'splain, Syberghost, that does put things more in perspective (get it? perspective? :P). I think I can live with the enlarged space, under the circumstances, if we could just get some better layouts. There's been talk, for some time, of customization. THAT would be greatly appreciated! Even if we could just change the chairs and consoles. Also would LOVE Sulu's Excelsior bridge!
