[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The E-E bridges are rather exceptional in that the Captain actually gets to see most people's faces rather than their necks. And said people in turn get to see the Captain's nudge-nudge, wink-winks at crucial moments without spraining their spines. Frankly, I think the TOS heritage design is the worst possible command center design imaginable, with poor communications between people who need to cooperate closely (say, science officer who provides targeting cues and helmsman who aims the guns); hindrances to mobility yet not [i]enough[/i] hindrances to prevent excessive mobility when the ship shakes; a single accessway that is surprisingly poorly protected against intruders and thus mostly acts as a choke point against evacuation attempts; and little or no facilities (private corners, visual aids or even tabletops) for the all-important kibbizing needed for tactical and strategic planning. And the consoles, while perhaps laid out ergonomically as far as hundred-button monstrosities go, could really use a bit more "hands constantly on key keys" consolidation and a bit less "now which of these 59 red ones did I need to push?" random groping. I'd take the command centers of Flash Gordon or Captain Nemo over this any day. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
