File description: The Generic Bridge Module Project is an effort to create "catch all" bridges that can be used
for any starship in the game. Much as Starfleet vessels use interchangeable and removeable bridge modules
in order save resources, I have done the same to save time. The bridges will have no identification of ship 
name or class, it's completely up to you to imagine that they are there. Otherwise this bridge is fully stocked
with everything you could want. 

This specific bridge represents the Early TNG era, from just before TNG began to Season 5. This represents vessels
such as the Challenger class, Akira class, Challenger, etc that first began to be built at the time. We are starting to see the 
amber panels that were typical of The Next Generation while still seeing old displays from the TMP era. 

Suitable vessels for this bridge:
-All Wolf 359 vessels
-TMP era vessels with TNG hardpoints
-The Akira
-Mirandas, Excelsiors, Constitutions, Centaurs, etc
-Gagarin Class (Great ship available at BCFiles)
-Korolev Class (Great ship available at BCFiles)
-Any ship you darn well please!

This bridge has animated LCARS, animated red alert klaxons, full lightmaps, and a brand new look for BC bridges. 

The updated Version 2 of this bridge features enhanced and brightened lightmaps, some small fixes, and a brand 
new alert screen that is strongly influenced by the actual movie screens.
