Scimitar Bridge looks rushed

I'm sry but my bud purchased the thing today and showed me the bridge, not only was it a huge let down, it looks nothing the the movie version, on top of that the thing has an engine room built inside the bridge.
Seriously it looks like TRIBBLE.
Romulan bridges up to this point looked, outstanding, but the Scim Bridge just spells RUSH all over it.
They should have made an entire interior for it in my opinion, what a disappointment.

Also if you actually saw the movie, thats NOT a engine room, thats where the thalaron mix's at behind the bridge. So i really wonder if you know how accurate it is if you dont knwo that
You don't feel it's worth $25 dollars? :O On another note, I felt Borts had an awesome bridge for a store ship.
I agree, the Bortas bridge is absolutely outstanding. I think the Scimitar bridge could use a bit of work though.

Actually it doesn't, not by a long shot, and yes I've seen that terrible movie called Star Trek Nemesis. ---> See link to pictorial review ---> Star Trek Nemesis Review
I may have been mistaken about the engine room part, but it's stupid placing a huge Tholaron Chamber right behind the bridge compartment. The whole design is utter tripe.
I rather have them build a new bridge from the ground up, ala Bortas bridge or Oddy Bridge.
Case in point, its TRIBBLE poor work, that has a last minute feel to it. It almost seems like the quality art work for ship bridges since the TOS Bridge, Defiant Bridge, Bortas and Oddy has taken a deep nose dive.
There's so much they could do with the ship interior system that they are missing out on.
To limit the amount of work done by actual employees they could host contests for foundry map builders to do most of the work for them. Just offer some prize that ultimately doesn't cost cryptic a thing and people would do it. This could create the bridge sets and then all cryptic would have to do is figure out all the cool stuff they could put on it (there's really so much it's not even funny...) and charge appropriately.
Why would they build a brand new bridge for a ship that already had a bridge, so people can b**** that the bridge from the movie is not there.
because they built the bridges for the Bbortesqu, the Odyssey the entire federation offering ( pay and in game ) and the entire Klingon offering. Those people get a trophy wall and an engineering and science section, we get a console where we can talk to doff's. no trophy wall, no enginering, science or anything else in this ship. The dynamics of the ship are awesome, the capabilities are awesome, the exterior is magnificent, the enterior is a complete and utter fail.. Like was said, even the viewscreen is a pasted on badly copied piece of TRIBBLE where the stars dont even move like they do on fed and klingon ships.. I dont care if the bridge isnt like the movies, the ship is a third the size of the movie ship so IT isnt like the movies, but its a good ship, bottom line though is that the bridge sux weenies on an iceburg. its that bad
The Bortas, Odyssey, and others were never shown in any TV Show, or Movie (because we invent them) so we can do whatever we want, and no one can tell us we're wrong. (not that it stops them)
What happened to the Intrepid-class bridge?

I must have missed where the lock box ships got all that, or the Andorian ship.
I think the bridge itself looks just fine and it's a good copy from nemesis.
The issue i have is that there is no interior, now i'm not asking for a brand new interior just for the scimitar, but you guys did such an AMAZING job on the standard romulan interior and it's very sad to see that i can't access that with the scimitar bridge, only with the standard romulan bridge. And well, since i'm in a scimitar i want to use the scimitar bridge.
The what happened with the Galaxy and Sovereign bridges?

On a side note i do enjoy the look of the Adapted battle Cruisers bridge, i just wish more ships had custom interiors rather than just bridges.
Any word yet on when we'll get the NX-01 interior or if the old bridges will be reworked to be more accurate in scaling?
Ask him if he felt it was worth the Zen he used to buy it. Was it?
PS: And if I offended I am sorry. Dry humor... O.o
... and the Galaxy and Sovereign bridges for that matter. I'm not buying it.
I'll stop you right there- the ship's size is perfect. It's 890 meters long in canon and it's more or less exactly that length in-game.
Okay so I take my words back in regards to authentic look, Cryptic does have the basic design down, however; it still feels rush and shoddy.
It needed more attention to details in regards to lighting and console effects, reminds me of the bland looking Kumari bridge with the two Direct TV dishes at the foot of the Captain's chair, lol.
I must admit that thalaron generator looks cool, and the effects are awesome looking - but its placement is a bit awkward and cries for bigger interior design.
Why not use the interior design from the LoR, just add a Scorpion fighter hanger bay interior.
P.S. not offended, just clarifying. I had nothing to do with the Scimitar.
Edit: I built that Kumari bridge. And I did a lot of work, and some fighting, to keep it as close to screen accurate as I could. That includes the "direct TV dishes." Again, if you think it's shoddy, I think that's more of a reflection on the original design than on our work. The Andorian bridge was a throw away. It was built for a few scenes in maybe 2 episodes. They did not devote the time and effort to it that they did for the Enterprise bridge, for what I hope are obvious reasons. There are those that argue that what we built should have been fancier, and look more like 2409. I argue that we're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't. As it is, I choose to lean towards screen accuracy over timeline accuracy.
I love the game, lifetime subbed to it and have spent $100s on it because I believe in it. That said, I think the team cuts corners on things...a LOT. I am talking about wandering a bridge and finding that cells do not link up properly (found in particular near doors) and you can see straight out into space through a huge gap. ot though and back on topic...
For $25 or $50 I expect at the very least a Captain's Ready Room and would it hurt to seriously have a turbolift to go to a stock Romulan Engineering deck? Personnel deck? The Romulan ships decks are amazing and finding out that a(the) Romulan flagship C-Store bundle pack had this cut out is all sorts of lame and weak.
These ships are expensive and although I can respect the bridge looking sub par due to the original canon design...I am sure Shinzon had a ready room (Captain's room), and I am sure the bridge had a turbolift that worked. Not incorporating them is straight lazy and a quick rush it out move to the C-Store to rake in money from everyone craving this ship.
What a let down.
