Main Screen

The Main Screen is the screen that sits in front of all players on the bridge, and is used by all players, but mostly the Captain. The Main Screen is automatically assigned to the monitor connected to the server running the bridge.

Modes
The main screen has several modes:

Visual Views
The Main Screen can be set to view the area outside the ship. The camera angles are front, rear, left, and right. All of these views have first person and third person modes which can be cycled by clicking the middle Cam button.

Tactical View
Tactical view (TAC) is a simplified version of the view the Weapons console has. This can be useful for knowing when ships are entering or leaving weapons range.

Long Range Scanner View
Long Range Scanner view (LRS) is a simplified version of the view the Science console has. This is useful for the Captain so they know where the ship resides spatially in the sector, and have a basic idea of where the enemy ships are. This view does not show enemy ships inside of nebulae, as only the Science console can view that.

Information / Engineering View
Information view (INFO) is a simplified version of the view the Engineering console has. This view also includes a text list of the ship's status, armaments, and damage. This is useful for the Captain so they know energy reserves, ship damage, and get a quick glimpse at the ships current armaments.

Tips

 * Normally only Helm and Weapons have the ability to control the Main Screen. However, in a battle situation, both officers may be too busy to change the screen. Either change the screen ahead of time, or give control of the screen to other consoles that may not be as busy.
 * The Captain should clarify who should change the main screen when the request is asked. If not, multiple players may try to change the screen at once, which may cycle the screen to a view the Captain didn't want.
