Thanks for the (new?) generic Bridge!

The last time I took a closer look at a Risian ship it was at the cruiser and the standard issue KDF bridge/interior was a pure no-go. So having heard nothing but no hopeful news I did not expect any different for the new ship so my surprise was rather big when I went to the bridge and was greeted by something new. Yes, its as generic, simple and cobbled together as it gets BUT considering the alternative and the bridge/interior resentments I'm thankful nonetheless. 
Taking a 2nd look at the cruiser it still only have KDF bridges though. So it might be in longer than I thought.
Looking forward to a full fledged Risa party ship interior next year

The Origin bridge is a Starfleet themed one and actually looks nice for a free one IIRC. It was the do-over of the previous Starfleet starter bridge and came when they introduced a tighter Federation origin story with Eliza Flores and the others.

Ouch. Did not have that either but thats already a few events old
Okok, a very very belated thank you then
While it would be nice to be able to retrofit the ships with better looking bridges later on it is good story-wise.
It's just very neutral. The old generic starbases or scientific stations of unaligned factions or rebels or pirates back in the Exploration clusters sometimes used the same interior. I think arguing that this is actually an intented in-lore gimmick is a bit far-fetched, we know that we just don't get any new bridges and interiors any more.
What I don't understand is, however, why we are not allowed to use the bridges we already have on these ships...

While I won't really bother with KDF bridges on non-KDF ships some of the Federation bridges might stylistically fitting for some of the neutral ships; including the Risa ones IMO. Also it fits the old STO lore made reasoning that all bridges on all ships are easily interchangeable (I mean everybody knew back then that this was invented as an excuse to sell bridges but they fielded that argument in the game themselves
Nothing on my Orions is "tiny"! :P
No, they are rather normal sized. I guess its a Gorn standard size issue interior.
I did not say it was intentional, all I said was that it did sort of fit the situation (I was trying to be positive about the ugly thing). Frankly I would prefer they would have just linked the usual list of bridges in like all the lower tier ships have, and allowed any purchased bridges too. That or they could have put the Lukari bridge on it since it would fit the Risan aesthetics to command from the middle of a garden well enough.
How about as another option and not a replacement? Rather have a revamped Miranda bridge if that ever happens.
I have no idea which ones those may be, both of my advanced Mirandas have a bridge which looks like the one in the modern tutorial, a sort of three-step almost Galaxy-style that actually has working doors and turbolifts, and they are the default for that ship since I never bothered to change them.
The biggest annoyance on that bridge is the big skylight with the tiny truck-tire sized dorsal sensor suite stuck in the middle of it, and even that is only a minor annoyance at most.
