Romulan ship bridges?

Was wondering if the devs are considering creating romulan style bridges for our ships too?

No we have this weird place with consoles and officers standing at them doing things, with this center chair and a viewscreen at the front which displays this view of space.
Hmmm, then maybe you need a bridge too.
Very much this.

Yep. I pointed that out during closed beta testing of LoR. Can't display any trophies inside a romulan ship. You'd have to use a tier 4 or lower ship of your ally since those ships can only use your ally's interiors and you have the trophy displays.
Others have mentioned it too since LoR launched and so far I haven't seen a dev response as to why romulan interiors have no place to display trophies, or any response at all about it that I can recall. :mad:
To the OP, it's simple. Click that little arrow on your mini map in the bottom right corner and select the option to go to you ship interior/bridge. Though it's possible you may be referring to the fact that romulans only have a single bridge available for free and any others are tied to c-store/lobi store/lockbox ships and only has a unique bridge and no interior at all to explore. For that I would agree. I was very disappointed during beta testing to find there was only 1 bridge and hoped they would add more after LoR launched.
There are several problems with that particular bridge.
Among them is the fact it was just a table, a pair of guys behind a Federation-type fence-wall and a guy uncomfortably leaning on a computer that's used to fire weapons.

Only if they combine that with the appearance in The Animated Series

do we get something resembling a bridge.
On top of that the equipment on the ship was just a redress of the equipment used on the TOS Enterprise.
Given how the Kirom bridge on the Klingon side is probably as close to a canon bridge (the one from Star Trek 3) as we'll ever get on an "inferior faction" chances are practically non-existent for this to be done. And then it's only in terms of rough layout and not in terms of the actual equipment installed on the ship.
Mind you, I'd love to see an arrangement similar to the one from that episode, one version with Klingon consoles and an almost identical version with Romulan consoles and different lighting. BUT then the latter is only remotely realistic if there's ever a Romulan-specific version of that ship to be added to the game. And given how Cryptic does stuff KDF side (prostpone it indefinitely) it would be more likely for a Romulan-only version of that bridge to appear.
You'll note that I said: (emphasis added)
Let's look at a bit of that style.

And another look at that "bridge" you criticized (which may be something other than a bridge, it should be noted):

And yes, it's the Connie interior recolored/relit. But it's gorgeous.
Further, since the Connie bridge (and what is basically Main Engineering, as well as some other interiors, if you go to Drozana Station in "Night of the Comet") is already in-game (I have that bridge on my Vulcan's D'Kyr, for example), it would take much less work to recolor things than to make an entirely new bridge (although I would prefer the more rounded chair from the Riov's quarters to the square-looking thing Kirk sat in).

I'll take it for my bridge officers... but there is the TOS uniforms to start with.
Beyond just trophies, the Federation bridges have additional capabilities. You can walk around and talk to the different officers in like the engine room, lab, medical bay, etc... basically all of your department heads (even though they're not the ones listed as such in your duty officers tab). From that you can select different missions that isn't nominally available on the "standard" duty officer missions windows. Some of these missions give you better commendation xp than some of the missions available in the duty officers tab. I think this is the same for the Klingons, though I haven't gone below to the crew decks in a while. Though, for some reason Klingon bridges (or other decks) seem to be murky/foggy. Right now for the Romulans, the only option I'm aware of is "select a small craft" in the transporter room.
After that, then maybe I'd go for different bridge options. Though I'd have to say, it's well balanced in comparison to like gigantic Galaxy, Sovereign, or Odyssey Classes that I've experienced on the Federation side.
God be between you and harm, and all the empty places we must walk.
So in other terms you used a very nebulous word "style" which can mean the arrangement of the rooms, the atmosphere, the lighting, an exact replica of the interior and a number of other things and you're dissatisfied I did not randomly choose the exact type of meaning you wanted to express with that nebulous term and now act like I'm a moron who has not seen the episode in question.
Okay never mind then.
Oh, BTW that shot of the Romulan bridge from the viewscreen provides ZERO additional visual info compared to the one I posted. In fact it shows even less of said bridge.
The ability to display trophies would also be very appreciated.

More than the word "style," as I indicated in my previous reply to you by means of adding emphasis to my earlier post: I never said "bridge;" instead, I said "interior." I would think that would at least imply something more than a bridge, especially since we saw so little of anything that might be considered a bridge (looks more like an Auxiliary Control Center to me) on that ship, and so much of the rest of the ship.
Don't be so defensive; I wasn't acting like you're a moron, nor that you haven't seen the episode. Typed text is a limited means of communication, even with italics, boldface, and underscoring.
My dream for all interiors would be that equipment would make a difference. All of the components we put on our ships would make some kind of visual difference, even if it just puts different pictures on the screens of the bridge. For instance a station becomes like stealth monitoring if you put the stealth console in, or a readout of Warhead Yield (although better would be to add a torpedo room like on the Enterprise in Star Trek II and III to show torpedo components). The big one of course would be showing different warp cores in engineering when you visit the space depending on what's equipped.
Preferably, they should add a couple all new interiors to represent small and large ship variants - the one we have right now feels midsized to me.
I wouldn't mind ship specific bridge packs, either. Let you choose your interior size like feds and kdf, then pick a bridge style. I'm not a fan of bridge stations that lack chairs, either.
