One think about STO which I would really add to the enjoyment and the "feel" of Star Trek is to give our bridges of our starships more uses. Allot of the Star Trek shows and movies had lots of activities on the bridge.
Here are some examples.
- Traveling in sector space from the bridge
- Selecting away team members from within the bridge
- Changing Starship components/weapons within the bridge (or engineering)
- Allow chatting or checking e-mail within the bridge (or captain quarters)
- When hailing a starbase/outpost/ship, show the animation and dialog in the view screen of the bridge.
I have not thought out these ideas, but where some things that just came to mind to give the bridges more of a use, other than just a meeting place.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR IDEA'S TO THIS THREAD.
I want useless chatter. I want my bridge officers to report a .6 micron misalignment and how long it will take to correct it. I want them to report findings from a level 1 diagnostic I didn't order. I want them to tell me the amount of energy that star in front of me is putting out. Useless info goes a long way to making it feel like Star "Trek" and less like Star "Wars".

hehe when I read this I could almost see you standing in front of a crowd with inspirational music playing in the background
But as for your ideas, it would be cool to see some immersive chatter on the bridge, and if they add other areas to visit (such as engineering for example) it would be cool to hear npc's talking about their specific duties. It would make the ship feel more 'alive'.

Give these bridges SOME purpose other than a social place?!? at least let my Captain sit in the center seat!
