I would like to be able to experience space combat directly from the bridge, for a more realistic game play.

    You and everyone else here.

    But in reality, I don't think I'd want this for combat at all. I may use it for peace missions and such with simple navigation. Think of everything you look at and monitor in combat, and now shrink it down and loose some control.

    Don't know how they can do it and be effective with the current system, but it would be neat to see.

    Might prove difficult to provide 360º combat from the Bridge. The situational awareness required to switch target / weapons in the middle of a multi enemy contact is harsh enough as it is.

    However, if you could tell your XO / Weps officer to track the targets and fire the relevant weapons, the engineering crew to watch shields and engine management and your science team to provide tactical information - "Target shields down, Captain" - it might just work... ;)

    Not me. I have no desire the experience combat from a bridge view. I would find it restrictive and boring, making combat very tediuos. It would have to be an option that can be turned off.

    I agree it should be an option.

    Fighting from the bridge would be neat, but the current system of fighting is what I like.
