when something is picked up on a starship's sensors and the captain says on main viewer,after the ensign has activated the viewer,the captain always says magnify? I would have thought the ensign would have cottoned on by now and activated the viewer on magnification to start with And another thing,when the chief engineer reports a loss of power to a system,the captain always says re-route auxhilliary power.couldnt the chief engineer think of that one for themselves rather than wait for instruction from the captain?                                                                                                                                                                             

Dunno PL,maybe some people have better things to do.                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm afraid it's a result of being a complete slob on a saturday                                                                                                                                                                              

if they always have to magnify, dont you think that they should just make it default to magnify? you'd think all weapons were BVR anyway. why would they need to look at it.

Have you lot ever thought of going to the pub or something similar ?
