Where's the Navigator?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Essentially: Star Trek bridges (and I'm speaking in practical terms here, not, uh, Star Trek universe ones) only have four or five consoles that do anything important on a regular basis. Basically, Enterprise doesn't have a navigator because it has a tactical console. (And tactical-type duties were what Chekov and his predecessors spent much of their time doing anyway.) It suddenly occurs to me that one difference between the bridge on Enterprise and those of previous shows is a lack of extra bridge stations. TOS had some, though it never used them. (Was their any actual set to Spock's left, even?) TNG had its handy aft section, convenient for plot explication when one doesn't want to have to break for a scene in the observation lounge. And there were whole wings of Ops in DS9 which were barely glimpsed, and whose function remains mysterious. Voyager streamlined things a bit, though they had those engineering and science consoles available on the rare chance they were required. I don't have anything witty to say about the Defiant, though her bridge seemed to have lots of extra space. And yes, I'm sure I've probably said all this before in one of those earlier threads alluded to. [/QB][/QUOTE]
