While I haven't checked it, and there may be consequences I wouldn't be happy with, I'd be tempted to give second and subsequent control rooms twice the number of control stations, since they don't have to 'rebuy' all of that.

Could I just use passenger seats? The idea is two control stations at the helm, right behind those is a single seat (the captain's chair), and behind that are two more seats. They form kind of a diamond shape with a dot at the center.

Obviously it's a 'cramped' control station. And I can see the stations in the front seem to be 'actual' control stations. I just can't figure out if the one in the center can control anything or is the two behind it have proper stations.

Any ideas? =)
