I just noticed from watching Star Trek: Insurrection for the 121th time, the consoles that were with Troi and Riker's seats are missing. There were duty consoles present during ST:First Contact but not in Insurrection.

Not all bridges have duty consoles similar to Riker and Troi's stations. In fact, the Alternate Enterprise-D in Yesterday's Enterprise didn't have a chair for the First officer!!!!

That's true, but I was just saying that those consoles are missing in "Insurrection" and that does it mean while the ship was being repaired from near Borgification it was removed, or the entire bridge module for that matter. There are minor differences of the bridge seen FC and the one seen in Insurrection.

I would guess that they either modified the bridge or put in a new module altogether.

Probably just everday refinements to the bridge such as on the Enterprise D. Parts of he first seaons bridge of the Enterprise-D was a lot different that the rest of the show. I never really did like those stations in front of Riker and Troi during First Contact.

The view-screen is different in "Insurrection" too. "First Contact" had the virtual viewer but "Insurrection" had a permanent one.

I always wondered about that holographic viewscreen. . . I mean, do they expect us to believe that until they got to the battle, they were just staring at a blank wall?
Anyway, this should be in Starships. It's there now. 8)
