    After every mission I go back to my bridge, and contact Starfleet, and spend skill points, and re-eqiup with the phat loots I've just received.

    i went there once... looked around... then thought

    "Hey... if my escort only has 50 crew members... why are there more than that wondering around?"

    Then I read that the bridge feature hasn't been implemented yet.

    So i havne't been since.

    After the initial run through, not very often.

    Sometimes I go to the bridge to modify my ground set up.

    at the moment just to change trophies or occasionally look at my bridge. once they add the mini games and UGC i expect ill be there a hell of a lot more.

    i really like the idea of missions aboard my ship and i hope UGC lets us make them

    you don't have more then that. they just walk from one end to the other and when they reach the end, they beam back to the beginning to save time.

    similar to this...

    i like to make use of it and feel more into the game at this time...

    i also would like to add that i think the defiant bridges are my favorites at this time as well....i have updated all my toons' ships to reflect this option now.

    i just wish (even though i know its adefiant bridge) that the ship on the LCARS would change to the ship you are on...similar to how the UI adds a pic of your ship when you are adding or removing consoles and weaps, etc...

    I usually do a couple times a night when I'm needing to kill a few minutes waiting for one of the explore timers to count down. I'd rather hang out there than just sit in sector space.

    And yes, I'm guilty of walking (not running) down to the transporter to beam off the ship...

    Gah, I sound like one of those "RPer" type people LOL... :p

    I do want there to be more to do in the interiors, which I have no doubt there will be sooner later. I'd really like to travel in space via the bridge as well, which I secretly hope is the big secret for Season 3.

    Almost never. There's nothing really to do, and it's not even a good way to look at your officers (or show them off) due to the fact that they're all sitting hunched over their consoles or crouched down scanning something six inches from a wall. Plus the fact that a lot of the bridges still seem to be broken in some manner, most often with officers either standing on their chairs or floating three feet above them. Or both, for one of the C Store bridges.

    Honestly, never. :( I've never felt the need to do so, and don't really want to; at this time, there's no point to it. I do hope - eventually -- the devs put some functionality in there but to be honest that's not even really in the top things that I'm looking forward to.

    The last few times I went to my Main's interior, I got vertigo from the absurdly large, cavernous, and pointless corridors leading off my otherwise almost comfortably scaled Victory bridge and abruptly stopped in a teeny door that barely accomodated my roughly 6-foot character, then when I didn't fall thorugh the floor after trying to hit the turbolift, I went to engineering and wondered why ladder rungs there were the size of my character's head but inward-curved overhead console displays were barely at head level.

    I visit the ship interior whenever I'm showing the game off to a friend or when I'm doing some RP with another player.

    Other than that, I don't go there because there is no compelling reason to do so.

    After a ton of missions or a long mission and I want to relax, I goto my interior and just start thinking....

    "now if they put communications here"

    "this would be great, I could use this medical center to heal myself and crew and not need to return to sol, can't wait for that"

    "ahh engineering is so cool looking, will be nice to do repairs from here in the future!"

    "as much as I love the bridge, fighting from this in space would sucks"

    in my private room "hmm where are the dancers at?"

    general walking the ship... "Hmm would be cool if my ship got invaded during a mission and I had to fend off the intruders, wonder if they will ever add that?"

    Pretty much everytime I goto into my interior I think of "what can be".

    Every day, multiple times a day. I'm a roleplayer. It's used for fleet recruitment interviews, private gatherings, and... serious business.

    :)

    Rarely; there is just nothing to do in them.

    I never go to my ship's interior - it's just too out of scale.

    I prefer my crew lounge over my bridge most of the time. It has the floor trophy spot, and not being canon its huge size bugs me less.

    I go there to set up my trophies, but that's pretty much it until the minigames are added. I don't spend much time there at all

    I went to see it when it was released. I have NOT been back since. There's nothing to do there.

    I usually go into my interior to talk to some new player ive met, if were having an in depth conversation.

    Also if were not doing anything or waiting for a pvp que we will wait their to play with trophies. Its actually kinda of funny all the people I run into that say, "wait, why are your corridors a lot shorter then mine".

    I'm really hopeful that the UGC tools are robust enough to allow you to modify your interiors to pretty much whatever you want. Even within the constraints of the Crew Deck and Engineering Deck I could see having fun building my own interior. :)

    Um....on my Klingon? Once...to place the trophy down because they made me do it to complete the mission.

    On my Feddie, a couple of times, to test a bug out which allows you to beam over to an opposing faction bridge and kill them.

    On my Sci Feddie, never.

    I go to the bridge to do what I consider housekeeping chores; go through inventoery, sort things out assign gear, do whatever upgrades to the ship, do log entries, bio updates, go through e-mail, look at fleet stuff, any of the stuff that makes it easier to manage the game i do here so i don't look like i am just standing around taking up space any where.

    I usually only do it when if I've altered a uniform or when I had a new boff and feel like taking some screenshots, so not very often.

    oh yeah, I did go the other day to mess with trophies.

    On my Feds - visited once... :(

    On my Klingons - HAVE to visit it to finish one of the 8 PvE missions.

    Bottom line - when I even think about the waste of development time that was spent messing with ship interiors because a segment of the population wants to stand around in a bloody dang room... gggrrrr :mad:

    All the time mostly when I am meeting with buddies to show off my trophies and just chilling in sector space chatting with my fleet.

    I love visiting my ship interior. Mostly atm for filming for my movie.

    I would love to see corridors near the hull of the ship though with windows and maybe a few more corridor variations like the ones on the Enterprise D near the captains quarters in The Next Generation.

    Will be amazing also if we get new engine rooms and get to choose them.

    I go there at least once or twice a week, I enjoy just wandering, socialising with my crew, and generally looking over my ship.

    I go there once in a while to just relax or do regular management stuff. Usually just to the bridge, though. The rest of the ship, right now, is kinda pointless and HUGE!

    I also don't care for many of the bridges. Especially now with all the little hallways going off in all directions. My favorite bridge is probably the Prometheus bridge. No halls and it's sized at least somewhat reasonably.

    I'd love to see a remake of the Sovereign bridge. The current one is just TOO BIG and really doesn't even match the one in the movie much at all. With the more recent bridges they've shown that they can make smaller bridges. So there is no excuse. Hell, put it in the C-Store (like everything else) and I'll buy it.

    Outside of that I wrote down a couple suggestions linked in my sig.

    The greater question is how often I login to STO. Not to be cruel, but even with the dailies, I just don't see a reason to login to the game on a daily basis, the rewards I can buy by doing the dailies don't really matter to me enough to warrant it.

    I bring this up only because, if I logged into the game more I would be more likely to visit my interior. Honestly I didn't care about anything but the bridge. Though the Ready room is a happy addition, none of the other parts of the ship interest me currently, and even before their addition I had little interest in going to Main Engineering, Sickbay, etc...
