I guess it's a good thing then that we don't do unit tests. :~

I still like the classic Enterprise bridge of the original Star Trek.

None of them had seatbelts!

Would rather no seatbelts, than HAL

16 Days: A TypeScript application from concept to implementation Database Transaction Management across AJAX CallsWhy should it be constrained to looking like anything at all? With the the tech they use for the replicators, transporters, and holodecks, the whole thing could be fluid, changing configuration as required by circumstance (e.g. by adding handrails during battles, to stop everyone getting tossed around so much on shockwaves that can't happen in space). Why walk over to the science station, when it can be right in front of you when you need it? In fact, the whole ship should be generated -- which would also be handy in battles, as it would be all-but indestructible (and would also provide an inherent low-speed navigation system, which would be even more useful in battles, which apparently will always be conducted at extremely low speeds). That's the problem with most people who call themselves sci-fi writers: they add tech to meet very specific needs in a story or two, but rarely give any consideration to how it will affect everything else.

But which version of the "bridge"? The white one with the round things? The dark wood one that Tom rocked for a while? The man-cave that Sylvester had in the movie? Or one of the modern versions?

Yes! I would love to have one of those inertia dampening couches and especially the automated drug administering devices for when someone changes the deliverable target a week before beta!!
