"A little while" as in how long?

Re: the sibling comment, I had to switch the Chrome to see the button, but I don't know how patient I need to be, or what the interface is supposed to look like once it's ready.

Edit: ok, took a couple of minutes. That is way more awesome than the initial demo. The map even includes the ready room and conference room of the Enterprise D.

I've seen it take anywhere from thirty seconds to a few minutes-- probably depending on server load. And there's never any real feedback that anything's happening (a "you're in the queue" message or something like that would be really nice).

Once it's loaded, it'll change to a 3D flythrough of the selected bridge with a "Click anywhere to continue" message at the bottom. Clicking stops the flythrough and lets you move around (with fairly standard FPS controls).
