	I don't have a complete set of rules for PCs/Skilled Officers. I
always intended to convert the Legendary Officers rules from Star Fleet
Battles but I think I'll just go with what Scott's doing. As for moving
around from location to location, I would just assume a one turn delay.
Engineers can start in Main Engineering, Auxillary Control or the
Emergency
Bridge (or the Main Bridge, Scotty was hanging around there a couple of
times, same for Geordi). I would assume the Doctor starts in an
unspecified
Sickbay or on the Main Bridge (Bones would loiter there pretty often
just to
find out what was going on). Everybody else (except for Marine Officers
and
Pilots) should probably start the game on the Main Bridge. Pilots
obviously
go to a fighter bay, but I have no idea where a Marine Officer would
start
if he isn't on a troop transport. If the "Marine Commander" were a
ST:TNG
Security Chief, he'd start on the Main Bridge, so I guess that's where
he
should start the game too.

	I dunno.
