2) Voyager is the only 90s Trek hero ship where the helm console is positioned to give the captain/XO an uninterrupted sightline of the viewscreen.
Like, those both seem like pretty fundamental practical considerations that the others just don't have??
The Defiant and NX-01 Enterprise are especially bad for point 2, where the helmsman literally sits in the middle of the captain's sightline with only a couple of inches (if that) of height difference. Pretty poorly thought out layout, tbh.
