How multifunction are the various workstations/consoles on a typical merchant ship's bridge? Is there a console for each specific station (astrogation, sensors, communications, piloting, etc), or are the stations filled with configurable multi-station consoles/workstations?
My idea is that pilotting stations are pretty specific and you can't pilot the ship from another station, but the other stations are multi function. There are primary stations where the work is best done, but the stations can be configured as a secondary station and perform other functions (but at a slight negative modifier to checks).
What do you think?
