I have seen a lot of changes in this wonderful game, adding the Romulan faction, and all the new things in season 11. I know this has been discussed, but I want to see new interiors and bridge sets. We have the TOS, Voyager, and Belfast, but we need more. Actual bridges from the shows and movies, and interiors that make sense. For years every ship has the Enterprise E engine room, hallways that are huge, and no changes since the beginning. I love this game, and I would love to be able to walk around my ships, and it actually look like a ship from Enterprise through Nemesis, the Excelsior, The Ambassador class Enterprise, maybe even a battle bridge. Walk around on the bridge that Kirk faced off against Khan in ST2, sit in the same chair Captain Sulu Sat in, etc. Please Gods of STO, please make this happen.

That's great, but most wouldn't, and it's a lot of work. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but the honest truth is that its probably not going to happen. The Voyager interior is only available because it was already made for a mission.

As I recall, they tested that internally and it wrought havoc with the camera.
Create a daily mission where you have to visit and play 3 different mini games on your ship and get like a dil reward.
Or an ec or contraband reward, at least something valuable...
qft basically. nothing else to discuss on this thread.

I honestly don't understand the logic here. How are NPCs related to ship interiors?
It's equally as much work (maybe more) to rescale an existing interior as it would be to just build a new one. Unless we were in love with the old interiors for some reason, we'd be more likely to just build something new than to change the old ones.
There is no question that people would LIKE it. The issue is that historically, people are not willing to buy it. At least not enough to make it worth all of the work.
How much of this is because you dont care for interiors and how much of this has to do with them having no real purpose to serve beyond RPing?
The vast majority of episodes in Star Trek occur on the ship in its corridors. Understandably in a game like this that has switched to pewpew. But it doesnt explain why Cryptic has never once, outside of a revamped Tutorial, tried to do a internal mission where most of the mission occurs inside your ship. Or attached things like crafting to the inside of your ship so you would utilize the interior more. The crazy thing is that the Tutorial was praised for the changes but it seems its gone in one ear and out the other when it comes to the fact a good portion of that mission was inside your ship.
This might be one of those foundry solutions. I doubt that you could create a system easily where an episode would be able to swap in and out a player-specified ship interior. Most likely cryptic would be forced to create a set of generic interiors for the RR, KDF, and FED. Well and good, but there's no monetization. So if there's no critical reason to have the player ship host the bulk of an episode, complete with full furnishings, then a full interior revamp still falls down as a nice idea but without enough justification for the time and energy (as was presumably the case with the new FED interiors used in the revamped FED tutorial. Even with basic rooms and hallways made there still wasn't enough oomph to continue building out a new player ship interior.)
So, if you want elaborate ship-interior based missions you basically have to create them for yourself (like several of us already have) Getting the devs to do it isn't likely, so personal initiative is the most feasible way of getting this stuff in-game in some way.

by me (from mission: Eons [AEI])
The Photonomy series also has some great interior work but I don't have any screenshots of those at the moment.
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
Historically, have you seen the TRIBBLE bridge packs that have been on offer? other than the Connie, Belfast and Voyager/pathfinder (those that can still obtain it) the other bridge packs are rubbish. Perhaps rather than running the cost to make these down our throats every single time these types of threads pop up, how's a bout you folks at Cryptic take notice and start asking if this is feasible to do? Why not release the voyager/pathfinder bridge as a stand alone purchase and run the number's from there?
Tacofangs, I brought npc's up because of it being the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek.
seriously?, have you even SEEN those bridge packs, they are abysmal quality like they were done back in 2000 the textures are awfull and most of the early ones were literealy the corner of a corridor with a few consoles and chairs. However, the stuff you been coming out with recently has been amazing and most certainly buyable like the oddysey bridge, the BortasQ the voyager interior and especialy the belfast one, the problem is, they are packaged with ships i am not particularly interested in apart from the oddy and bortasq. and as much as id love to see more Romulan ones the currant interior is AMAZING and i love it and it doesn't bother me so much that there is only one cause its such dam good quality and i do enjoy roaming around my ship in it, though would like the DOFF assignments to be int here appropriate places rather than only accessible from the bridge.
at any rate i think you should at least make a set of 3 bridges/interiors and put them on sale and see who buys, if folks dont they dont but if youve made them good enough quality i guarantee you that folks will purchase them and you have another source of income, though i dont think you are really short of that with all those folks throwing hundreds of pounds worth of keys into the gamble boxes.
