Yeah I know, I wasn't thinking it was your opinion or anything.Just explaining what they did in the novels.
Captain Ezri Dax's Ship

Coolcool.
If it helps, I personally didn't like what they were doing with Ezri at first, but afterwards I came to the conclusion it did work. The whole idea of a joined Trill is for the host to make as much of their lives as they can. Ezri felt only being a councelor limited her. And, she actually got quite cocky and arrogant at first. After a while though, she came into her own, found her own style of captain-hood, and combined her skills as a councelor, joined identity and the skills she learned in command, to become a good leader and person.
Better than the USS Aventine from the novels.
I agree with both counts. It seems to be a lot of fan service to get all the characters into these positions of power. Obviously, Ezri Dax was designed to be in conflict with her former self, and it might make sense that she would transition careers (although not necessarily smoothly or successfully).
The one thing that I can say that might make this seem ok is that I suspected from the beginning that the little spoiler in the last video update--the one where Andrew Robinson was in the car with ISB asking for money to upgrade more footage--might have pertained to Ezri.
He did art for the original Perpetual version of the game, but the current one made by Cryptic Studios only uses one or two of those designs.
But since STO is post-Nemesis, they are influenced from the design style he and the other artists did for that area.
Can we agree to disagree??
I mean, I love this design, sure. But it's a generic little Eaves design.
In real life being a mental health professional is something you have to train for. In the Trek universe it means spouting obvious pop psych aphorisms whenever someone has a bad week.
There is precedent for the naming of the ship;, the USS Biko mentioned in a TNG episode was named after Steve Biko, who died after imprisonment and torture in Apartheid South Africa.
Presumably they also cover "the future" (either in general or a time travel story) because the art shows Ezri looking older and wearing the "alt future" uniform that they always trot out for stories of that nature. (Like All Good Things and The Visitor.)
Oh. I didn't see any art with Ezri, just the boring Eaves ship. Link?
I didn't like the idea of Ezri as a captain but then I started thinking about other blue shirts who went the command path and you have Dr Crusher commanding the Pasteur. I think I'd rather see Ezri running some Federation mental health place though.
Thanks.
But at least Crusher was commanding a medical ship, which at least makes some sense. Unless the Till is a counseling ship...
If Starfleet Academy is like any other service academy, courses in leadership would have been a requirement for all cadets. Ezri Dax would at least have had something to work with if she change to a command career path.
A counseler being in command has an historical example.. Comander Troi.. She took the Commander exam and does stints on beta shift or so. Not that she would end up captain.
I read that Ezri decided that on this go around, that she would see how far she can go in the Starfleet hiarchy , I like reading about Ezri Dax, I wish she would get her own book series.
In the Voyager book series there is a Botanist that is the Ships captain.. He has a werid command structure witht the first officer taking charge in most conditions.
