I'd think you could have a helmsman, navigator, and gunnery officer (for example) each contributing to operating a starship. The helmsman would actually be responsible for flying the ship, making necessary turns, speed adjustments, docking procedures with probable skill checks for each action. A navigator would be responsible for keeping the ship on course in relationship to the intended destination, along with considerations to negotiate hazards such a passing asteroids and comets, gama ray bursts and other interstellar hazards. A gunnery officer would be responsible for all ship gun operations. Thus in a combat situation with another starship would require participation from all 3 to maximize the combat effectiveness - I wouldn't think setting that up would be difficult, and thus prevent bridge activities from boring.
