This is all very helpful! Thank you. Right now I am trying to do a bridge set up like a conference room with a confrence table with low profile flat screens and menu navigation interfaces based on the back of my digital camera... the "outside consultants" have glass front alcoves to the side for their occult buisness with the company. What I had found with cyborgs is I kept adding more and more detail to make them look real but ultimately that rebounded as they became more and more irrational in design. In the commenteries on the Alien DVD they keep hammering away at the issue of keeping "plausible" as opposed to being taken away by "fancy". Here are two nice captures... the self destruct "scuttle" control board and the atmosphere/gas controll board from the escape craft.
