First I would like to say I love this game and the great work your doing! I have a few issues that I know are not new, but would like to know when you plan on fixing them as this is a puchased item and we have already been waiting since it's release.
1) The TAC & ENG BOFF's locations on the main bridge are wrong and need to be swapped.
2) All NPC's sit in front of their chairs not on them.
3) Most seated NPC's feet go through the floor:
a) Main Bridge the seated NPC's on both sides of the turbo lift.
b) Sickbay both seated NPC's.
c) Lounge both seated NPC's.(not DOFF Officers)
d) Engineering the seated NPC.
4) The 25th century DOFF Officers added nearly a year ago ruin the entire feel of this interior. In many locations there are already NPC's in place that could be used.
a) Sickbay already has a doctor why not use him?
b) Lounge already has two NPC's why not use one of them for the Counselor. Use the replicators on the wall as the Bartender & Chef. (TOS used the replicators for both)
c) Conference Room use the com links on the table for Tactical & Federation Envoy and free up the chairs.
d) Engineering aready has three engineers why not use two of them for the Engineer & Operations Officer?
e) Engineering Lab is the one location where there isn't something already in place for the Science Officer; however he needs to be in a TOS uniform.
I know it's only cosmetic; however most of us purchased this item for it's cosmetics.
Thanks!

Also, I would add that the functionality found on the Welles bridge, could solve the 25th Century NPC issue very easily.
Why not retrofit the TOS bridge with a single NPC, in the TOS uniform (generally female, engineering department red dress) as a Yeoman standing next to the Captain's chair, which has access to all the Duty Officer assignments?
Not only does it make sense from a logistical standpoint, but it is also completely canon, and would be totally fitting for that bridge!

Having Boffs sit on the very edge of the seat is also a very annoying glitch!
I think what captjerry is proposing is doable, and would help an already awesome bridge become even more immersive!
That particular glitch plagues more than just the TOS bridge. Several interiors and bridges suffer from this malady.
And it is indeed annoying. Officers off their seat, or halfway into the deck, or feet missing in the deck, or hovering above their seat.

That's just ridiculous. :mad:
I agree with everything written in captjerry's post. They are all fixes that I would LOVE to see in the game over any other fixes.
I want to bold the above two comments that he also made. I love the game as well and most of the people I know could spend an entire evening on our Constitution bridge and are easily satisfied but we have also been very patient.
Let us assign a chair for the NPC?s
I'd add that the console left of the view screen and meeting the turbolift is too deep in contrast to the consoles on the right and wrapping around behind the Captain's chair. Most of us missed this the first weeks this was live. We were too shocked and generally impressed with the overall bundle to notice that until much later.
However, #4 could be done completely away with if they implemented the aforementioned "Yeoman console" - especially since it's not just the Wells bridge with this functionality, the Tholian bridge has the "one stop DOff console" and IIRC so does the aquarius bridge...
If you don't want to go the "generic yeoman console" route, adapt the tech that allows one of my BOffs to serve as ship selection officer like they do on the Tuffli and Tholian bridges...
If this is the case, I'd like to see #6: fill all bridge seats with a BOff, so that the VAs whole 10-BOff complement (heck, maybe even 12 seats for those with the extra slots for more BOffs can get their whole crew on the bridge...)

When I first bought the TOS Connie interior, the Boffs were sitting in their chairs properly. But over time, it just got worse, as they seem to move forward to their existing positions today.
Its such an eyesore! It shouldn't be too hard to fix, so I hope someone does take the time to look into it. Its not fair to those who have purchased it only for the product to degrade over time.
And as I suggested before, perhaps a more up to date version of the interior would also be nice to offer in the C-store. Perhaps a redress of the TOS Connie into the movie Connie, exactly same layout and all but with more up to date hallways, panels, consoles and furniture...
Is there anything that determines BOFF seating? I have two commander sci boffs but ones a medical and the other science... my sci boff is sitting down on a chair the other side of the bridge and the CMO is looking down the sensor scanner....
