No, you can't play from the bridge in MP.

Defiant did something with that, allowing bridge use in MP, but it took WAY too long to load.

Not only the loading time - it lagged all the time here.

Try the "Enemies Of Life" (EOL) Mod, also known as BC Expansion Deluxe.

http://bc.filefront.com/file.info?ID=25575

There you can give orders like in single player, and let your crew members do the fighting (don't know why anyone would want to do that, though).
The view stays external, so no bridge, but the crew menues are all available.

There is also an option to add npc ships to multiplayer maps and some maps already have them built in.
Some nice single player features are included, too.

Just give it a try.

Sorry, but I have to renew my answer: Bridge Support is possible in MP.
Its just important how you add them.

Sounds interesting! Upcoming mod?

To your question, I'm not sure. Did the expansion not work? That's supposed to have working MP mods. Others will be more help.

No, the expansion didn't work, or no it didn't not work?

Sorry, couldn't figure that one out.

Now I've downloaded yhe NanoFX 2.0 beta, the expansion and the NanoFx overwrite their files themselves.....
