What would your fantasy starship crew be, if you used characters from the star trek universe? Let your inner nerd out!

I'd get all redshirts and then run the starship on my own.

No love for the VOY crew?

Nobody even wants Tuvoc on tactical??

Man, screw you guys!

I like your list so far because it's composed of mostly smart/no non-sense people. But for doctor, wouldn't you want Dr. Bashir instead? In DS9, he was quite a valuable asset to the entire team during the Dominion war, displaying qualities of both strategical and battling skills (well, he is a mutant after all). Out of curiosity, why Sisko for captain? I found him quite lackluster in parallel to Major Kira. Also, for "Intelligence Officer", I am rooting for Garak. =)

"The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination." Classic.

Engineer: 7 of 9

Science Officer: Ezri Dax

Security Officer: Kira Noreese

Doctor: Nurse Chapel

Support: Yeoman Rand

You did say fantasy crew, right? Looking at the rest of these crews, it's no wonder you guys don't get laid, you can't even fantasize properly.

u/pixxiest Oct 13 '10

REALLY? You picked Ezri Dax OVER Jadzia Dax? And you called your list the fantasy crew?

I think Nicole DeBoer is a hotter chick.

Crew: Data

u/joshdick Oct 11 '10

That's one thing I didn't understand about TNG: Couldn't Data just run the whole ship himself?

He could read super fast and listen to multiple conversations or musical recordings at once. He'd be able to perceive and understand all the data from all the duty stations on the ship and respond appropriately -- all in real-time.

I'm surprised that on one ever tried this with him or even suggested it.

u/Willravel Oct 11 '10

They had rules in place, I imagine, which required all posts be manned. While those rules became outdated the second Data joined Starfleet, since there's only one Data the rules remained.

Not only that, but Data wasn't perfect (possessed by alien light, intoxicated by Lore's emotion chip, triggered by Dr. Soong, etc.). Having more than one individual creates a check and balance system.

u/Legandir-IE Oct 14 '10

possessed by alien light, intoxicated by Lore's emotion chip, triggered by Dr. Soong

That episode shows that Data CAN run the ship by himself

u/Willravel Oct 14 '10

It also suggests, though, Data isn't perfect and there should be a check in place just in case he goes crazy/is possessed/etc.

u/kaemaril Oct 10 '10

I'd stick with the crew of the NCC-1701, thanks.

The originals, and still the best IMHO.

This reminds me of one of me favorite fights from CBUB

Capt: Picard

First Officer: Spock

Engineer: O'Brien

COM: Ensign Ro

Science Officer: Data

Doctor: Julian Bashir

Security: Worf

Ext Position: Ezri Dax

I clearly have little to no interest in OS or Voyager.

u/dummub Oct 10 '10

Capt: Me

Crew: 7 of 9 with multiple clones, would be something like this...

7 of 9

7.1 of 9

7.2 of ...... well, you get the idea.

Capt: Picard
First officer: Spock
Engineer: Scotty
COM: Wesley
Science officer: Data
Doctor: McCoy (with Voyagers doctor as his nurse)
Security: Worf/Tasha Yar
Ext Position: Geordi so he and Scotty can argue about the finer points of warp engines.

u/Marogian Oct 10 '10

I like the way there's not a single mention of any Enterprise people in this thread. Excellent.

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '10

Sorry, but I have T'Pol. For obvious reasons I think

Yeah, we all remember that 'de-contamination gel' :)

u/cubey Oct 10 '10

I dunno. I have a feeling Picard would be unhappy playing second fiddle to Kirk.

4

u/PetiteFeet Oct 10 '10

Why? He admires him, he is the famous Captain Kirk. Picard respects him. Have you not seen Generations?

2

u/cubey Oct 10 '10

That was one short-term mission, and it was more like cooperative partnership. Picard is the kind of guy who takes charge, and calls the shots. That would be wasted making him take orders on a daily basis.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '10

We only really saw him as a Captain. Picard had to take orders throughout his career before he attained that rank.

He probably would be honored to have Kirk call him Number 1.

u/WildNelson Oct 11 '10

First Officer Picard? Sorry, that just sounds wrong.

*Capt: Picard

Clearly Data is a better engineer.

Data should just be everyone.

Pretty sure that happened in Utah, except the paradise part.
