So...Spent about 6 hours on the bridge simulator game with a crew of 4. Ideally you'd want about 6 or 7. Takes a little while to get used to the interface as each station has unique options.
We rotated after each round so that everyone got a chance to sample the different roles. Playing as the captain can be a bit intimidating as you really have to keep tabs on everything. communication is key.
The most fun was probably helm control as it has the most basic layout and trying to fly evasively can be a blast.
We'll probably do it again very soon with a larger crew - or ideally, two crews ala Enterprise VS Reliant style gameplay.
on a sadder note - this came up in conversation afterwards - http://www.ign.com/blogs/splitmindeddude/2013/06/01/oculus-rift-engineer-dies-at-33
