I was wondering how some of the minifig spaceship creators here like
designing their ship bridges. Most Lego ships only have small one-man
cockpits, with a little computer console or some levers. My own ship under
construction, the Nautilus (http://theforce.net/tinman/nautilus), has a
large Star Trek-style bridge with a viewscreen, captain's chair in the
middle, and twelve other chairs and computer stations surrounding him.
I was just curious as to what other design philosophies others use in design
bridges (or maybe you don't even have a bridge!).

| I believe that LEGO spaceships _never_ have enough terminals in them. I have a MOC stuntfighter (sort of based on the [really, really old] 6861 X-1 Patrol Craft) which uses both an old-style monitor brick and a control brick, as well as a pair of (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

| (...) I designed a new bridge last night on my friend's mid-sized big gun cruiser thingy. (Crew of >20 with lots of nooks and crannies to cram necessary items - probably 3-4 feet long, 10 inches tall, and VERY sturdy) It turned out really nice, but (...) (25 years ago, 13-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)
