Actually we already have a canon bridge design for the Ambassador class
We honestly cannot change the layout, because it is already set. (interestingly, the bridges for the Constellation class, nebula class, and Ambassador class are all the same set, just redressed, so maybe said bridges are interchangeable.)

Most "canon" bridge designs are just redresses of the battle bridge set. Artificially small, visually uninteresting. Best to ignore them.

Shakedown Cruise: The Director - III
  • Threadmarks
    • The Director notes the Deimos squadron commander's reluctance to follow orders and makes a note in his logs to have the man arrested. That sort of maverick independence may have been acceptable fifty years ago, but in these more enlightened times Technocratic officers followed the rules.

    Still, the man and his forces were ultimately expendable. Everything in Sol except Cheron base was expendable. Soon a modern Technocratic force would be arriving under Squadron Commander T'Lorel, a veteran and dedicated officer. Together she and Cheron base would be able to eliminate the Solarian threat once and for all. And then eliminate the source of the Extratemporal contacts.

    Not a perfect result for the Director, but an acceptable one, as th-

    The Director's attention snaps to an alert from inside his own facility. Security breach somewhere in the lower sections, an attack on the main power generation systems.

    This must be prevented. Cheron base must be maintained intact. Its lead scientists were only days, hours, away from completing calculations on the ultimate Temporal restructuring device.

    The Director dispatches every excess body assigned to Cheron base to repel the attackers. And then after a moment of consideration for the consequence if they should fail, the Director resolves to see to the task… personally.

    • ...there is just something about The Director's thought patterns that makes me think he is Evil Straak. Someone just obsessive as normal Straak is but about efficiency, or something like that, instead of rocks.

    Commander Stesk: A loose cannon who doesn't play by the rules :V

    I'm guessing they are really into orbital to ground fire, but almost always end up having to resolve issues peacefully due to some quirk of the situation preventing an orbital strike, to the point where they have gained a reputation as a shrewd negotiator.

    oh snap! the tension rises! also, I suspect he's going to miss something while he's off being paranoid. This is a perfect example of fear overriding logic, one more body won't do much and him being away from his station is bad, but he's too afraid of failure to not see to it personally.

    We've already got a confirmed evil Stesk here:
    AKuz said:
    Enterprise, Kirk's Enterprise, races across Sol, the Technocracy responding slowly to the breakout, forming up carefully. The siege's commander has been burned once too many times by chasing Solarians and being led into traps and ambushes. Protocol dictates careful probing and advance, and Squadron Commander Stesk responds to the calls from Cheron Station's Director to advance immediately with careful reminders of those directives until he's bought the time he needs to scan and destroy the stealthed mines left behind by the Solarians.

    Although I have been thinking of an alternative as to who The Director could be that would be suitably shocking; Spock.

    We know Spock exists:
    AKuz said:
    "When I was younger, I had a brother." the Vulcan pauses and his eyes flick downwards for a quick second before he continues, ignoring Jim's look of curiosity, "A half brother from when my father was Governor of Earth."

    Click to shrink...
    and while everyone has assumed he's dead what we are actually told is:
    AKuz said:
    "My father didn't know of my brother's existence until the fifteenth year of his assignment, when I was in my first year as his aide," the Vulcan shakes his head, "A compliance officer discovered them during a contraband sweep. The inhumation order from my father came without hesitation."

    Now Sybok does say:
    AKuz said:
    "My father was willing, eager, to kill his own son for dispassionate Technocratic protocols, to save his career."
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...
    but that might be less literal then we all assumed.

    I am starting to suspect the inhumation order isn't an execution order but a forced Kolinahr ritual that rips away all ability to feel emotion. It fits with the emotionless tone of The Director, could easily be considered killing a person much like we'd consider a lobotomy a form of killing someone, and is exactly the sort of shocking reveal this arc seems to be building towards.

    behold, the level of reckless maverick behavior that gets you arrested in the Technocracy!

    following preexisting procedure rather than your superiors orders! the madman! barely better than a human! yeesh, these guys are really bad at being logical. I am surprised they managed to become the dominant power in the region, then again maybe they were less ideologically pure and more effective when under threat.
     
    Shit, evil T'Lorel inbound. Unless the Technocracy has stunted her skills massively, we're going to lose a lot of people if we don't wrap this up before she arrives.
