Post 1 updated with Bretonia and Kusari bridges. Check it out or just click here: bret and kus.
- Liberty are using "bridges" like towers on their ships and their position is in the middle or slightly forward but never at the nose. So the view from them reveal a lot of the ship.
- Bretonia are using "oval" bridges for gunboat/destroyer line and "linear" bridges for battleship/carrier. So I had to change them a little to make more sense since most visible parts can be barely noticed. A huge problem is the lack of this "red" texture file. So I had to use something else close to them.
- Kusari are using a lot of "roofs" (afraid of little rain? ) so I did my best to make such extended roofs at each of their bridge for max clarity and representation of what you see outside. Their bridges are also linear (with exception of the gunboat) but very very close to the surface (gunboat/destroyer) so in response - there is a lot of the ship to be seen in front of you. The Kusari battleship bridge consist of 2 huge windows separated by a wall - so I had to move the center of the battleship slightly to left to make it more realistic cuz thats my goal. I am also happy their textures are exactly as ingame with slight differences.

Looks like the bridge is missing the two parallel metal beams. You can see them here on the bridge window

I did not add the metal beams because it would damage the already "diminished" point of view. Imagine you are behind one of these windows, other 2 may be other rooms, something like that. The only ship which was necessity to add such metal "beam" was the kusari battleship because its "center" is ...a metal beam. You can see it on your left side (check images of post 1).
I will focus on making such windows separation metal beams on the civilian ships which are not build for combat and anything else on the screen will not affect their usefulness or diminish any gameplay. Armored transport, Gull line and train line will all have such windows separation and totally new "bridge" (interface). Unlawful ships will also have different bridge for versatility sake.

<3333333 Love it ^^ I just kinda can't imagine Juggernaut's bridge

I am glad you like them but the zoners will have to wait a bit. Once all House Military are done I will move to Civilain (trading ships).

From The Order, aim for the circular bridges on our capital ships. Geb has two - use the bigger one at the back.

Sure will check it out. But, what makes me worry is that the Osiris have these 4 platform things (totally useless for a combat ship) - and they might damage the clarity of the view but will look realistic.
