If you Had to make your own crew with the first 4 series Star Trek Characters, what would they be?

USS_Defiant

Cadet
Newbie
And I expect reasons for the selections, and reasons for the interactions

Me?

Captain: Cisco. He understands context, and goes with his gut (much like Kirk), yet isn't as reckless (at least if we're talking movie Kirk). Picard is too by the book and will throw you under the bus immediately. Janeway is too inconsistent with her heavy principles one episode and her "the prime directive is null" the next.

First Officer: Chakote. I can't stand his character, but he gets the F out of the way, yet stands up when needed. Riker is too connected and brash, Spock gets in the way with his logic. Kira is just too emotional and tied to her religion (and I'm a Catholic)

Chief of Security: Odo. I actually initially put Worf because of his stature and obediance, then Tuvok because he leaves no stone unturned. Yet, Odo can shape-shift and has an unmatched passion for justice. Meanwhile, Tasha is too busy overcompensating.

Doctor: Bashir. I wanted to pick Bones, but Bashir is advanced genetically. Both have the general same view, so I'll include them both. While the EMH is one of my favorite characters, he's vulnerable via programming and degradation. Meanwhile, Crusher is so whimsical and stubborn, as is Palaski.

Chief Engineer: Geordi LaForge. The guy is passionate of his ship inside and out. Scottie seems to rely on intuition too much, O'Brien is a subordinate of LaForge, and Torres is an emotional wreck even though she's got some unconventional means.

Bridge Officer: Data. While his programming nature is a vulnerability, he proves far too useful in so many situations. Dax has lots of experience but limited physical abilities, Uhura are great officers but aren't excessively useful.

Helm: Tom Paris. Yes, he's rogue, but he's got a knack. I'd take him over Sulu.

I know not all crews have the same specific roles, it's hard to pinpoint all crews with a counselor, or whatever seven of nine did.

However, what do you think of my decisions? Would you assign them differently?

No, if only for the fact that Packet Tracer sucks.

Since Dax is a legit character from DS9, I will use time and probability travel, and make my perfect Dax Dream Team.

Captain: Lela Dax. She's obviously an accomplished leader, given that she was the first woman legislator on Trill. She seems ideal to lead my crew.

First Officer: Curzon Dax. A master diplomat, but ready to get his hands dirty when necessary. And lots of fun at parties!

Chief Engineer: Tobin Dax. If he can make those old Bajoran ships run, he can keep my warp core purring like a kitten.

Doctor: Audrid Dax. Master of bedside manner. The perfect person to give you a shoulder to cry on, parenting or spouse advice, or a cup of steaming herbal tea.

Science Station: Jadzia Dax, of course.

Communication: Verad Dax. Found him hiding in the Delta Quadrant, bring him to a universe where his crime never occured (since Jadzia isn't dead).

Helm: Torias Dax. He seems to have that fighter jock swagger.

Counselor: Ezri Dax. Even if she's still a little neurotic.

Ship's Cook: Emony Dax. She's obviously used to good nutrition, being a gymnast. She'll keep the crew in tiptop shape!

Tactical: Joran Dax. I need a tactical officer who can launch torpedoes and obliterate an enemy without hesitation. Who better than our resident killer?

I thought about pulling a bunch of high-ranking Harry Kims from assorted alternate realities, but ultimately went with my Dax crew instead.
 
  • Haha
Reactions: kkt
Captain: Picard - moral clarity, diplomacy, principles

First Officer: Kira - a counterbalance, pragmatic, argumentative, will challenge Picard

Second Officer & Science: Spock (is that cheating?) - intelligence, analytical mind, good match for Picard's stoicism

Ops: Data - imagine him working with Spock on the daily

Conn: Sulu - can pilot that ship out of any situation

Weapons & Security: Worf - has to be Worf, he's our straight shooting warrior!

Engineering: O'Brien - he can turns rocks into replicators

Doctor: Voyager's EMH - ironically far more of a character than Crusher or Bashir ever were
 
Spock and Data would probably work out how to communicate nonverbally, so it would be more efficient.
