Kane class Cruiser - Alpha Pictures #9I'm back with more progress :)
Today is another momentous day in the ship's construction. I have been frequently getting asked by server guests for me to show them the ship's bridge, to which I have always had to reply "it isn't built yet". But recently I decided I don't want that to be the case anymore. Thus the centerpiece interior of the ship is now complete:
THE BRIDGE! Building it took me about two and a half days, and it's probably the most difficult room I've done so far, but it was SO worth it. I'm amazed it came out as well as it did, and I never thought it'd be so spacious. On to pictures!
Here's the ship as it is now from far away. The bridge is on the top of the saucer.
Here is a view of the bridge from closer up, the outside of the ship.
Getting up closer for a wide-angle shot of both the inside and the outside, and a view out to the side of space.
A picture of the bridge from up on the cieling! Lieutenant Geese is operating the Scientific Viewer console, Ensign Unicode is manning the helm, and I'm in my new captain's chair :D
Did I mention the cieling dome is transparent? You can see up and out for a beautiful view of space, as well as the engineering hull above and behind us.
Full speed ahead, Mr. Unicode!
The bridge has most of the same design as the TOS Constitution Class Enterprise did in the original show. There are some small modifications though, and the bridge is slightly more advanced in design. Here you can see the alcove ceiling light arrangement.
Aside from the new bridge, I have also completed the outer hull design for the rest of the primary hull. Here you can see the new impulse engines glowing hot.
The ship now also has a brand-new Warp Core! The old core was about 4 years old, and was not in the best shape. So, I went and ripped out 90% of it and redid it again!
Cargo Bay 4, on Decks 4 and 5, has gotten some modifications. It now has access ways to the Deuterium Control Room via the ladder, and Deck 6 via the floor grate.
Deck 6 is almost complete. I've done every room except the Aft Torcreep Bay. Here you can see the public bathroom I put on Deck 6.
Deck 6 also has two dedicated Junction rooms, which serve as rooms by which players can traverse from deck to deck across the ship. This is Junction Room 06-A.
Junction Room 06-B.
Deck 6 also houses the ship's Hazardous Materials Storage bay. The corridors outside the Hazmat Storage Rooms have sensors and bulkheads in case of hazardous leaks.
The Hazmat Storage bay is divided into two sections, each heavily shielded but nonetheless dangerous to be in. This is the Medium-Risk storage room.
This is the High-Risk Hazardous Materials storage room. The entire floor is equipped with a large cargo transporter-marker pad, for emergency beam-outs of dangerously failing cargo.
And now for a final picture, back on the bridge, Mr. Unicode trying out the captain's chair!
That's all for now!
