[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] The navigation and helm stations seemed to be capable of controlling more ship's functions than simply flight control. I remember a few TOS episodes that showed the Enterprise's weapons being fired from those stations. I remember another one that had Sulu using his pop-up viewfinder to scan a planet surface. These features were carried over into TOS movies, too. In [i]The Wrath of Khan[/i], Kirk orders Saavik to call up the Reliant's command console through the navigation station. Sulu targets and fires phasers from the helm. In [i]The Search for Spock[/i], Scotty monitors the automation center from the navigation console (of course, this could have been a special riggin). In [i]The Undiscovered Country[/i], Valeris calls up events in the computer's database from the helm, and Chekov fires torpedos from navigation. I tend to agree with Ryan, although I'd expand it to say that both the helm and navigation stations are primarily for giving crew members on the command track a chance for bridge duty (with navigation being more so than the helm). Sulu manned the helm and became the captain of the Excelsior. Chekov manned navigation and became the first officer of the Reliant. Then he went back to navigation and seemed to be the second officer of the Enterprise. [/QB][/QUOTE]
