enough humor...
What do people out there in net.land think of the equipment panels/displays
on the Excelsior? I think the flat panels are visually uninteresting, as
compared to the Enterprise and Reliant bridges (although it is true that
the similarities between the Enterprise and Reliant bridges is, of course,
inevitable, due to the fact that the latter set is a redress of the former)
with their informative graphic, pictorial and flowing design. It created
a visually pleasing atmosphere, and added to the sense of busyness and
crampedness that one would experience on a mere (!) 190,000 Ton craft.
I feel that it would be a loss to try to set any type of action in the
sterile bridge of the Excelsior. I do hope that our on-trial crew members,
should they get on-board a starship, would not be forced onto a bridge like
the Excelsior's!
