Just a quick suggested layout for bridge stations, since this is a "warship":

Positioned First Officer at a side station close to the Captain. Easier access to the rest of the bridge, being able to turn and face either viewscreen or Captain, as well as standing up and holding onto the rail.

Engineering on opposite side of the bridge from the First Officer, close access to the Turbolift, and similar access to turning and facing the viewscreen or Captain.

Positioned Mission Ops I and II at the aft stations. These two stations make sense to keep together, and with there only being 2 stations in the back, it seemed to fit well here.

Positioned Helm and Tactical at Forward stations (similar to Star Trek: Bridge Commander). Tactical on this bridge makes more sense here, rather than being a side or aft station, facing away from whatever danger is close.

Operations likewise makes more sense along the side stations, with more and larger displays for information. Same goes for Science on the opposite side of the bridge.

Lastly, in lieu of additional science stations (which are more prevalent on ships like the Intrepid or Galaxy classes), a dedicated warship would want dedicated stations for Damage Control and Environmental.

Let's redesign the CTRL+PASTE...I mean the Hoover....I mean the Inquiry class from Picard

Redesign is definitely better. I'd lower the nacelles a bit to make it more in line with the saucer, but other than that it's definitely the version they should've gone with onscreen.

It looks cool. Doesn't matter if it "feels" more fitting for the Mirror Universe. More touches that relate to the name of the ship makes sense, regardless of universe.

The way a TOS Connie reboot should be. Respect the old, update with some new.

And do my eyes spy 3 "torpedo tubes" in the forward saucer section? That's an interesting update from the classic. Not saying I dislike (on the contrary). Just different from what most versions have

Okay, suggestion time...

For the control "booth", remove the two pillars on the side of the transporter console.
Reverse the circle shape, and make it follow the curve of the two steps you have for the platform.
Keep the top of the console largely the same but widen it about the width between the now removed pillars.
Add a new free-standing "bottom" half for the console that follows the shape of the now curved platform.

Really poor MS Paint edit attached 😆

Another vote in favor of the added alcove.

Had another thought to add some visually interesting objects to the scene: A small, lit inset wall-shelf below the Main Computer display, perhaps for ship models of past ships of the same name? Alternatively, replacing the wall panels you currently have on the sides of the display, for ship-model display cases.

Dunno if this might clutter things too much, but would look nice 😁

This is how you reboot the TOS Connie, without going full JJprise, and while still maintaining the same "feel" and proportions of the original.

Well done! 😎

@darkthunder - Well, it's Rekkert's call on this one, he can do it as he wishes.

Might want to re-read my post?

"Okay, suggestion time..."

Never said he must do it according to my above edit. Of course he does it however he see's fit. It was merely... a suggestion!

Really liking the cinematic feel of these most recent screenshots. The design is definitely growing on me, a lot more than the game version ever did.

I suggested earlier, a possible registry number change to "fit canon". Made a short list of plausible Odyssey Class ships, and their likely numbers:

NCC-85050 USS Odyssey (first ship of the class)
NCC-85051 USS Iliad
NCC-85052 USS Homer
NCC-85053 USS Alexander (your ship)

NCC-97000 USS Verity (Admiral Picard's ship)
