So in the ship, when you sit in "The Chair" you only can do bridge invitations. You cannot Transwarp to mission location or anywhere else, you cannot access Duty officers which would be natural from there and so on. You cant even leave ship interior while sitting..

You cannot access library files when sitting.

Why is the system made this way? In all logic, you should be able to do almost anything while in "the Chair"

What is the worest thjing, you still beam in the space when "Leaving interior" >_<

    At least those two would be done from your ready room and not while sitting in the Center Chair.

    Oh and you can do both, it just isn't an [F]-Button option but the standard UI-Interface Options :)

    Edit: I didn't test the last bit but I am sure you can still activate the DOff UI while sitting without breaking the animation.

    Yes, but you should be able to at least talk to your department heads from the chair - after all, they're standing/sitting RIGHT THERE!

    on this you are wrong using the interface options like you can from anyplace does not bring up the ship specific missions that you get by contacting them from the bridge/ready room or walking to them in person.

    and even in the ready room you still can not open the ship specific missions while sitting in the ready room chair.

    Seriously, Cryptic, make ship interiors USEFUL! Make some kind of USEFUL feature that can only be accomplished in the ship interior.

    I think the problem with being able to use the ship interiors is that missions and such are specifically made with specific maps in mind and designed to be used in said missions.

    I think it would be impossible to implement anything that resembles some kind of command-system where you command your bridge officers.

    Another problem is - is getting your bridge officers to gain unique dialogue which fits your view of them. Since they're all sorts or races and/or genders it'll be hard to refer any sort of back-story of those officers.

    I would like to see us being able to travel whilst on-board your own ship. Though I think the problem with that is that the view-screen is static and it would be near impossible to make it animated. Maybe you could just easily show some stars go by like in the series.

    I agree that there should be some use to the bridges. Maybe a shuttle bay where your small vessel is stored.

    Oh yes, i forgot that button i often use elsewhere for doff assigments but still using that in the ship is limited as others have said.

    One "funny" thing amogst many is that if you need to use your library files in the ready room, you can only use them while sianding. When you sit the button to use them goes away and this same phenomena happens in missions where you need to use something whoich has usable chair in front of it like the shuttle to Vulcan on "Diplomatic orders" where you can only acticate shutttle when standing.

    Seriously ship interiors should have more usefulness

    -Sickbay where you can heal your and your crew injuries from elite missions.

    -Ship repairs for damage from elite difficulty via doff assigments in the engineering which takes time and dont need parts, they can replicate almost anything.

    -Rest XP maybe when you log off in your ship.

    -Missions inside ship interiors including repelling enemy boarding parties after battles in space. Fending off Borg when they beam aboard as they normally do plus removal of borg technology.. Diplomatic missions including escort of multiple dignitaries from worlds and solving their problems through dialogue while travelling and so on.

    -Ability to trtavel STBC style for those who wish so.

    At least save our captains from sufficating in space when you leave interior, dont beam them to space or at least equip them with ev suit for crying out loud.

    Most of the series happen inside these ships and so, it would be nice to have more to do in ships in the game as well.
