The bridge was an interesting part of the ship to create, the basic shape was a cube primitive, from this I first created the deflector shield generators. I made 2 cylinders for the base and added some tall cylinders to the tops of both the base shapes, I then moved the sphere into position and aligned it with the center of the base. I then finished the deflectors by adding some small cubes to the top of the sphere. I am fairly happy with the result of the generators I would like to have found a way to create the proper shape as they are not spherical, something like reducing the amount of faces on the shape.
The communications array in the middle of the top of the bridge was fairly complex to create and scale accurately but the actual principle of creating it was not technically difficult. I made the frame using cubes and extruded parts near the base to create the block like shapes, I then added a lot of divisions into the front of the main array and extruded every other face to create the panels.
The detail on the front was made using cubes of various lengths that were duplicated and ordered in a semi-random method.
