[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Um, I can only count two chairs (command seats and helm not included). And those are of the oh so useful roller-equipped office chair type, so that the crew doesn't have to stand up to perform the little "on third the ship tilts to port, one, two, THREE" maneuver... They can simply roll across the deck, flaying their arms wildly. "Look ooooout!" Personally, I think the bridge is supposed to be used mostly when the ship is hovering next to an interesting science target. Then each of the consoles is configured for a specific research duty, and the scientists freely move from station to station to check on the progress. They move the chairs accordingly. Few of the crew have any duties elsewhere in the ship at such a time. To actually sail the ship, none of the wall consoles is needed; even the MSD console is there just for looks, as MSDs tend to be. Only the command chairs and helm are manned. Of the wall consoles, *all* were probably originally "science ops" consoles - even if Ransom converted some of them to more generic uses, say, to reroute engineering or tactical control from damaged systems etc. Or then the two stand-up consoles next to the MSD held engineering-related functions to begin with.
