Console deco block additional function

[Zerefette]

What if it could act as a activation block or send a logic on to it? It could be a way to not have these exposed.

I would also like consoles and any other decorative computer to "adopt" a system's function if that console or computer is slaved to that system. Example: slave a console to a jump drive, and let crewman Scotty spool up the main jump drive while Spock, Bones, and Redshirt Jones explore the planet below.
Another example: slave a console to a turret rail. Now crewman Smithy can control the turret from the battle bridge.
Another example: slave a decoration computer to the ship core to allow core ship functions to be accessed from that computer.
A complex example: slave a decoration computer to a camera, and three weapon systems to allow those weapons to be aimed and fired from that camera by crewman Tillman, when she uses that computer.

Its been suggested a lot! But its still a great one. I love this idea.

Consoles for logic would be good.

Consoles for controlling things like the ship or turrets... that would normally be a function of chairs which are still planned and will be here within the next six months or so.

Even if not controlling the whole ship, consoles and computers controlling stuff would still be good, especially for having NPCs standing around "doing stuff". Take, for example, poor Worf, who in his heyday, normally had to stand at his station.

Poor Worf. You can almost hear his catchphrase now: "Weapons firing at full power! ... No effect..."

I agree, but something tells me (from our past track record) that having both a sitting and standing command position ingame will be too much work for one reason or another.
