Instead of Janeway...

[SilentP]

...how do you reckon the other major Star Trek captains would have handled the situations that Janeway faced (heresy )? From the very beginning about whether or not to blow up the Array, to dealing with the Borg, or in general how to deal with the overall problems of being isolated from the Federation?

I'm mainly talking about the other big 4 (Kirk, Picard, Sisko and Archer) but if anyone wants to use comparisons of other commanding officers, I'd be interested to hear. Also you can specify whether you'd have them in their own ships (i.e Sisko with the Defiant, Picard with the Ent-D) or if you'd just do a straight captain/crew swap, and have them in Voyager.

I can imagine that when it comes to passing through Borg territory, that how Picard or Sisko would handle it would be very interesting. Also how would the captains deal with the Equinox.

P.S: I'm not sure if threads like this had been done before, but I was inspired by a similar thread in the BSG subforum and was wondering about making a similar inquiry as to the specifics of Voyager, since it's 'easier' to make a comparison. Sorry if these threads have been done before.

Any other Captain would have got home within the first episode ; )

So yes, these threads have been done before, but with different topics. I already know what is gonna happen; TOS and DS9 fans are going tell us all how much Janeway sucked.

And TNG!

Ok, I'm not as much of a VOY fan as some of the other series, but I would never say that Janeway sucked. The fact that her 'original' decision only once seemed weigh upon her to point of interfering with her ability to command once (the episode 'Night' or something like that? When they were in the expanse of 'blank space') is pretty amazing, and one that could probably break a lot of lesser Starfleet captains.

It was destiny! Janeway was the captain for Voyager. We all know that Sisco, Kirk, and Picard were great leaders and they of course would have got Voyager home too, but no man could have had that awesome relationship between the Borg Queen and of course Seven like Janeway.

I think that any Starfleet captain worth his/her salt would have destroyed the array rather than leave it behind and endanger an entire species. So, they all would have ended up stranded.

The difference is that, as a woman, Janeway was at least willing to ask directions.

Someone apreantly hasn't been paying attention to some of the TNG era Prime directive Episodes.

 

[Hartzilla2007]

if Captain Robau had been commanding Voyager the Kazon would have been conqured by him, the Borg obliterated, Species 8472 bitchslaped back to fluidic space, and they would have gotten home in the first 10 minutes.

If you are talking about the Pocket Books relaunch of TNG, you are so right. I don't read them.

Are you speaking of the Captain that gets himself killed in the first ten or so minutes of "Star Trek?"

He didn't die it was a ploy to leave Nero over confident so that he could take his revenge.

No I'm talking about the TNG episode where Picard was willing to let an entire species die when their planet's atmosphere was breaking up or something rather then save them and take some survivors to another planet, which they did AFTER being forced to.

 

[Anwar]

And pointed out how saving all the Boraalans wasn't a viable option and would have just caused bigger problems down the line.

Anywho, Rabau would've just gotten killed ().

 

[Chrisisall]

Picard would have talked too much, and had too many conferences & given the Borg the time to assimilate them.
Sisko would have bogarted his way through the Alpha quadrant & gotten them all killed.
Kirk would have tried to seduce or out-logic the Borg Queen and been rudely ego-deflated.

Only Janeway could have led them out of that mess!

How's that?

 

[Hartzilla2007]

By that you mean went on and on and on and on about galactic nanny states that probably wouldn't have existed.

Its Robau, remeber it for it is the name you will scream when he comes for his vengeance, and he WILL come.

 

[Anwar]

No, I pointed out how it wouldn't have been possible to fully evacuate and re-settle those people without them being permanently damaged beyond repair and the devastating effect this would have on Fed policy for primitive races.

He can come all he wants, he'll bounce of my spirit protection fields .

Yeah, yeah we get it their a bunch of primitive dumb fucks so they deserve to die.

Now getting BACK ON TOPIC

Kirk would do pretty good becuase he's used to doing stuff without Starfleet backing and will bend (not break as the case with Ransom) certain rules if it can result in a win-win for everybody, so that would help.

You know, this would be a very interesting topic IF trolls like this one didn't try to wreck it...

Let's see how this goes. If the trolls take over we'll shut it down.

Ditto on that! Besides, who the hell is Captain Robo-whatever and why should we care since he/she is not canon!

Captain Robau is from the new Star Trek movie so he IS canon. Oh and while we're on the subject of what's canon so are one nacelle starships as once again one was in the new movie.
