Goodness gracious... Loving the sleek lines of this Ambassador reboot. Feels even more of a mix of Enterprise(s) that came before it, especially that impulse deck. Only thing really missing is one of those impulse deflection crystals.
Would love to see this as a 3D model. And to borrow an expression from another universe: Love those ample nacelles
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
Understood. I guess I'm just stuck in the "standard" mentality of most bridges. There wasn't anything standard about the Defiant, so I should expect nothing less with this bridge 😁
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.
