What are the essential elements of a military starship captain?
>>44327017
Don't be trained by Starfleet.
>>44327017
A military rank and a starship.
I'm going to take OPs image and switch it up for weeaboo spaceship captains like Harlock, Esmeralda, Kircheis and Marika. Does anyone have any suggestions for who else I should include?
>>44327144
Max Jenius, obv.
>>44327144
Every Macross captain
>>44327144
I'd say Spike, but everyone knowsEd was the real captain.

Dusty Attenborough, with the hat. You know the one.
>>44327386
shhhhhh.
>>44327017
Where's Crichton?
Not that I would, living in the Farscape universe would be a bitch.
>>44327536
He's not a captain. In fact, in the context of the Farscape universe, he's more like a village rube who catapulted himself into the interstellar community because he lucked onto an advanced concept. If anyone is Moya's captain, it's Pilot. But the entire crew is constantly conversing, and making decisions as a group. Or even simply as individuals.
>>44327017
Look, the most logical answer here is Picard. Not only is he downright the universally acknowledged Best Captain, but he commands the most desirable ship. The Enterprise-D is basically a cruiseship, and it very rarely goes to war. They hang out in the Federation interior very often, too, and it being the flagship of the fleet gives you ample oppertunity for promotion. So you only need to fear the occasional crazy space alien, and even then you're arguably in the best position to handle it.
With most of the others? Some alien wants to stomp your face in. I mean, Adama is cool and all, but would you enjoy hanging out in smelly, overused space ships, living on permanent war footing and fearing the very real possibility of being wrecked by a toaster? I mean, do you have any idea of the survival rate of WWI pilots? Because that's what you're getting in to.
And Shepherd? You KNOW the ship gets destroyed in the second game, and in the end aliens destroy Earth, and I believe the crew winds up on some planet to form a shitty colony?
Even if you can't stand the sight of his chrome dome, Picard is the best choice.
>>44327836
this tbqh.
Picard all the way.
>>44327836
Only like, 3 people died when the Normandy SR-1 was destroyed. Which is a much better track record than the 3 times Picard's Enterprise was destroyed.
Hatred of aliens
>>44330529
21 people died
>>44327638
Also he came from a scientific rather than military background.
I don't know what the IASA rank system is like, but it's probably similar to Air Force ranks and "Commander" is usually lower than "Captain" in systems where it's used.
>>44327017
1. In the military
2. Has a starship
3. Is the captain
>>44327144
Doesn't matter who else you put, I'm picking Captain Kato.
>>44327017
As with any leader, to recognize the abilities of those under their command and assign them tasks accordingly.
>>44327144
Captain Tylor
>>44327836
Is there a Star Trek ship equipped with a holodeck that doesn't malfunction horribly at times?
I'd say the inclusion of a holodeck and a replicator would be the most desirable objects of any Star Trek ship.
Now Picards holodeck would fucking malfunction horribly several times a season, but if you wanted to be on Voyagers holodeck you mostly just have to put up with being so far out in space that everyone's fucking retarded
Hello there /tg/.
A friend of mine and owner of a certain games publishing company recently spilled the beans that he has been licensed to create the next Star Trek RPG, being released in 2017.
Anyone hazard a guess at which company?
>>44327144
Space Dandy.
Clearly he's a poor choice for anyone with aspirations. But for bumming around the galaxy trying to get with ladies? Best guy.
>>44327144

>>44327017
For some strange reason it does not appear to be a hat.
>>44333268
FFG. JJ Abrams makes both Trek and Wars movies, why can't FFG do the same for RPGs?
>>44333505
Well it's not them.
Here's a tip: They recently released a crowdfunded variation of one of their previous titles.
>>44327017
Kirk all the way.

>>44333666
They've already got John Carter and Conan.
>>44333680
And now they've got star trek.
Chris got a little tipsy after Dragonmeet and let the word slip to a few people.
>>44327017
It doesn't matter who the captain is.
>>44333632
Hostile alien: I'm going to rape your mom.
Sisko: That's certainly bold of you. You might want to reconsider that.
Hostile alien: And your dad.
Sisko: Commander, prepare two quantum torpedoes.
Hostile alien: And you.
Sisko: Cut the transmission. As I was saying, Commander, have engineering attach a cargo pod with two hundred kilograms of trilithium to each torpedo.
Worf: But, sir, the cargo pods would make the torpedoes less effective. The alien ship could evade them easily.
Sisko: I'm not planning to fire at the ship. Helm, set a course for Deraxus III, their nearest colony, warp factor six. Major, send a message out on all frequencies. This is Captain Sisko of the U.S.S. Defiant. In response to their threats against the human race, in approximately two hours I will detonate two quantum torpedos carrying trilithium above their outpost of Deraxus III, thus making the planet uninhabitable to most sentient life forms for the next fifty years. I suggest evacuation plans begin immediately.
[stunned silence from the bridge]
Sisko: What are you waiting for, people? Carry out your orders.
[two hours later, above Deraxus III]
Sisko: Status?
Kira: There seem to be no attempts to evacuate, nor have we been hailed.
Sisko: Mr. Worf, prepare the torpedoes.
Worf: Detaching safeties on torpedoes one and two.
Kira: Sir, the alien vessel just warped in, they're hailing us!
Hostile alien: Do you really expect us to believe a Federation officer would poison a planet over something like this?
Sisko: That's exactly what I'm going to do.
Hostile alien: You're bluffing.
Sisko: Am I? Commander, launch torpedoes.
[Worf just stands there]
Sisko: Commander, I said launch torpedoes!
Worf: Aye sir
[The torpedoes hit the planet, poisoning the atmosphere]
Kira: The trilithium is dispering through the atmosphere, they're scrambling their ships.
Hostile alien: Do you realize what you've done? We're going to rape ALL OF YOU!
Sisko: I've only just begun.

Side question, is there a good star trek style rpg?
>>44327836
>Implying Babylon 5 wouldn't be fucking great
>>44334659
Forte was in charge in the anime in which the games protagonist never appeared.
>>44335064
In the anime they had a main ship in which she was 'technically' in charge of but it was almost never brought up and she foisted most her duties onto her superior who's name I've forgotten.
>>44335023
Agreed.
>>44335077
Pic related. If you want something complex I guess you could adapt Traveler or GURPS, or use FATE if you're into that sort of thing, but I prefer this honestly.
>>44334347
By far, Sisko is the best captain.
The best part about that whole episode was that the poison that was used wasn't toxic to Cardassians, so no real harm was done, in that he just had the Bajoran and Human colonists he bombed move to the Cardassian planet with the Cardassian-specific poison, and moved the displaced Cardassian refugees to the planet he poisoned.
He had a great handle of politics, and wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty, and understood that even paradise could be corrupted.
>>44327140
>>44327140
Close, however the test requires more detail. The military rank we were looking for is "captain".
Thanks for your interest, and better luck next year!
Not exactly military but mercenary, I'd love to be serving under Mal Reynolds
>>44335306
You don't have to hold the rank of captain to be the captain of a ship.
>>44335258
Exactly. The colonists needed to be relocated, Sisko just forced them to leave. Were his methods brutish? Absolutely. Were they effective? Obviously. Were they stupid? Not in the slightest. Sisko KNEW that Eddington would only surrender himself and the weapons if it made him a martyr, and the only way to do that was for Sisko to play the villain. People who call Sisko the idiot Captain of the series have no idea how intelligent he really is, and how good he is at getting inside people's heads.
The first time we're introduced to Sisko, he's still reeling from the loss of his wife at the hands of the Borg. He witnessed first-hand how the good-natured idealism of the Federation means nothing when your enemy just wants you DEAD. There's no negotiating with the Borg, no compromise. All you can do is fight, run, or die. When he's made Commander of DS9, he loses the option to run, and he's not going to just lay down and die, and that means fighting.
In a series about idealism, philosophy, and striving for noble goals, Sisko is the grim reminder that sometimes the only real choice you have is fighting for what you believe or dying for nothing.
>>44327144

Honor Harrington is now supreme commander of the Allied forces (IN SPACE), yet is still technically the captain of a starship. The title of Captain and the track of Captain are not inherently equivalent
>>44327017

we'll bang ok?
>>44335122
Not if you're a lurker stuck in Downbelow. Also, the general tech level on Star Trek is so much more advanced, I'd guess life on an outdated Miranda-class would be more comfy than that on B5, cool rotating hydroponic gardens aside.
>>44327017
The ability to know everyone on the ship is expendable.

I think only the Ent-D had that problem. DS9 had a bunch of problems, but the holosuite wasn't one of them (the times where there were issues, it was some other problem, but the holosuites were functioning as intended). Voyager didn't have the holodeck itself malfunction either, but they did have trouble with invading aliens using their holodeck at times.
>>44335463

>>44337699
What I love is that people don't realize that post-TOS Roddenberry was the worst thing that happened to Trek. He was as bad as Lucas, but fortunately didn't have the power (or the autism) to screw things up to that level.And if you ask some people, even in TOS Roddenberry was messing things up royally.
>>44337867
Captain Bright from Mobile Suit Gundam
>correctly used "whom" in a CYOA
Why is it so rare?
Why don't authors realize that if they're not 100% sure about it, they should just use "who", which basically never sounds incorrect.
>>44336418
To be fair, that captaincy is only nominal, in a prestige position - as is practically every position on the ship, who's "crew" is never on board, but is a mark of respect in the navy.
It's basically a combination of the USS Constitution and the HMS Victory, more Victory given Webber's teaboo tendancies, though Victory's official crew is any naval personnel not assigned to any other ship (which can be a shore installation, they're still "ships" and have the HMS prefix) - as all officers and ratings must be assigned to a ship - so is mostly people working at the MOD
>>44338556
IMO, Lucas's more "fun things, with awkward moments and some bland character".
Roddenberry, on the other hand, had to be stopped from having the Ferengi wear giant codpiece to hide enormous genitals and discuss of their version of kama-sutra on screen. And early TNG was "humanity are smug assholes pretending to be more evolved than anyone else"
>>44334347
I disagree with this analysis, he acted that way in that episode because of very specific circumstances. I don't think he'd do the same tatic against Generic McFuckalien.

If you're going to have three Macross and two HarlockBy the bye, Esmeralda is a different series to Harlock by the same creator.then why not Ruri Hoshino from Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness?
>>44340987
Because that was a terrible movie best left forgotten.
>>44340905
He's being an arsehole to his sister and then they both start liking it a bit to much and get uncomfortable.
It's a long, drawn out scene both to serve as simple fanservice and to really bug people.
>>44340993
What?
It was pretty much a three episode long Nadesico special that started messily because the game that explains everything was never translated and ended messily because the sequal was never made because it was 'impossible'.
Other then that there wasn't anything specifically bad about it and stands as strongly as the series itself.
>>44331766
It's a bit of an exageration that the holodeck malfunctioned at the drop of a hat. And not using the holodeck because it occasionally malfunctions is like not driving becaue cars occasionally crash. But if you watch the news and dashcam vids, you'd swear they crash all the damn time.
Even then, just don't do dangerous stuff. Most people just use the holodeck to go skiing, or to fuck Caitians. But in DS9, O'Brien and Bashir use the holodeck to simulate the Battle for Britain, ancient Irish battles, the Alamo, and a campy James Bond sendup. The latter malfunctions in one of the episodes, thanks to sabotage, computer fuckery, and Rom. But it's one of the show's most endearing episodes. Secret agent Bashir saves the day by destroying the world, and the malfunction facilitates an entertaining juxtaposition between the James Bond spy fantasy, and Garak's spy reality.
>>44337867
As the original person who asked that I also have Atomsk. Bright Noa and Abriel Nei Debrusc Borl Paryun Lafiel. Two LoGH options (how can you have none?!), one for each faction, too. And you've left out Marika Kato, which is insane.

Oh, and it occurs to me Lord Boros is probably a good candidate too.
>>44337867
How about Fee Carmichael, ownerdid she own it? It's been years since I watched itand pilot of Toy Box from Planetes. It's about the crew of a small ship that collects space debris.
Also 'Tita' Titaniva Mu Koshigaya from Plastic Little. Captain of the 'Floating Zoo' Cha-Cha-Maru.
Granted they never actually go into space in the OVA, they collect animals from one particular world to sell to private zoos and collectors around the galaxy.
The OVA itself is about the captain playinglesbian love interesthero saving and protecting a girl all planet side.
>>44337867
There's too many candidates to allow more than one from any one franchise. Cut down your Macross boner, anon.
>>44340705
what.
It's a fair question, given the pic is from deviantart.
Turns out it's an OC
Purely going by survival rate, Janeway is the best federation captain.
Dylan Hunt could be the best overall captain, if you get to choose to serve him when he's rebuilding the commonwealth, and not while he's actually serving it.
>>44341575
>Purely going by survival rate, Janeway is the best federation captain.
... what
Unless you mean "ship survival", Janeway has lost a lot of her crew
>>44327144
Everyone back the fuck up for the Best Captain coming through.
>>44327144
>implying there was a choice in the first place
>>44341715
That's the thing though. She's only lost at most one crew.
While Picard and Kirk have dozens of casualties nearly ever other episode.
>>44341735
Awesome movie but furries need not apply.
>>44341769
well, there was that episode where everyone died except Harry Kim and a baby in one universe, and only Harry Kim and the baby died in the other. So really, that's a 100% crew losses.
>>44341764
Ruri doesn't lose a single crew member, two up from Yurika who only lost Gai to a murderer on her own side and Itsuki due to arbitrary rules of teleportation, I mean, in battle.
And they were both fighting a far-superior genocidal empire that has the ability to instantly teleport whole fleets over any distance.
Or we go Marika Kato and turn Piracy into a cabaret show.
>>44340407
My writing was meant to match the other three that were posted before. Consider it in context.
>>44341864
Divided by 2 janeways, that's 50%.
Still less than the attrition rate of the more "peaceful" captains.
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of blood on Janeway the Conqueror's hands, but it's mostly peaceful non human spacefaring civilizations.
>>44342466
>implying people haven't added up the totals
Only 55 died permanently in TOS (some others died, but they got better). Considering 400 crew on the ship, that's only about 15% (and there were transfers and stuff all the time). Janeway lost at least 12 in the very first mission, which is just under 10%.
>>44327144
Yeah, god forbid anything on this board not be poisoned by anime bullshit.
>>44344266
But even Star Trek had an anime.

>>44344126
Picard is at 81 certain deaths+an unidentified number of crew from some battle with the romulans. Skipped a few deaths that were later reversed.
Janeway is at 49, estimated (the wiki at one point lists "several", which I subbed in your figure of 12, for when she got pulled into the delta quadrant). I also counted tuvix as 2 people.
Even going into completely unknown and borg controlled territory, Janeway came out of it with less crew death than Picard or Kirk.
>>44338556
Nimoy would agree. He refused to lower himself to marketing IDIC symbols during an episode making sure to express his disdain came from having a sense of dignity.
>>44327017
Penis.
You can't be a starship captain without one.
>>44344552
Nimoy himself was directly jewed by Roddenberry, probably purely out of spite. Spock was by far the breakout character of TOS, especially early on, and Nimoy got a lot of offers to do things like appearances for car dealerships and the like all over the country. Some of these would be like two hour stuff that would pay more than a whole week of acting (something like $1000/wk - Shatner apparently got 5x as much), so of course he wanted to go do this stuff. But Roddenberry didn't like letting him go off work a couple hours early to catch a plane or whatever, which technically was in his rights as the boss, but was still a dick move.
>>44340983
I fucking loved that episode
well, you know, up until Josh Trank used it as inspiration for the new Fantasic 4 movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAgODVbPq78
>>44327017
I request a different officer and want to learn to be the successor of this motherfucker right here.
>>44346433
A couple of hours is a pretty big fucking deal.
>>44348668
But Garak is a sack of shit who doesn't do anything particularly well that anyone else couldn't do.
It's like a character who decided to spread their stats out so they're mediocre at everything, took a few rogue skills, and then poured the rest into single-use contacts for the rest of the campaign, so that he's barely relevant except when the party has to beg contacts out of him.
>>44327017
A consistent writing team.

WhereDoYouThinkYouAre.gif
>>44341071
It didn't have nearly enough plot to be a feature-length movie, and was just full and boring overall. Over half the film is spent watching Ruri wander around doing very little, which is compounded by the fact that she is now a bland milquetoast compared to the sarcastic peanut gallery she was in the TV show. Virtually the entire cast was dumped to cameo level appearances and do next to nothing of note, even a major character like Ryoko. Perhaps most greviously, Akito is put through needlessly tragic events offscreen and turned into the edgiest edgelord from edgyville for the sake of drama, and then fucks off to nowhere at the very end because the writers placed too much faith in their fanbase. Even taking Blank of Three Years into account, PoD is a bad film that just takes a huge dump all over the TV show. It's only saving grace is the sex machine that is the Black Selena.

no ds9 was the best star trek series and sisko was pretty well written but as an effective captain sisko was the worst he let his religious duties get in the way of his job to much.
>>44338518
the protagonist in outsider is captain and he is only a private or whatever the equivalent rank is
sure his ship is a wreck but the Loroi says he still counts as a captain and im not going to argue with hot blue space babes then they might not have sex with me.

although maybe kirk was worse i have not seen enough original series to make a decision on him.

That scene in question does go on to explain the importance of captains but I dropped it for brevity.
It was more just picking on Yurika then anything as she was a highly intelligent tactical genius.
Megumi, the purple haired girl at the end, cuts off the explanation just to pick on the captain who goes storming off in tears.

would you bully your captain /tg/

more importantly would you bully your captainsexualy

Tons of potential political connections and recruits for your own pirate ship.

Is she a qt3.14 captain?
>>44349417
Sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about.
He only suffers from being in the presence of a Star Trek bridge crew, whose talents tend to be exceptional.
Garak was extremely talented in a very large number of fields.
As I recall, he was better in combat that Dukat, yet of course, not as skilled as Kira.

I'll take Hercules from the Andromeda Ascendant, sir.
>>44327017
I only know the B5 ones and of those I'll take Sinclair.

only if you like gary stus

Picard is also haunted by a MAGIC MAN that has regularly killed/injured/erased crewmen from existence.
Yeah, no.
>>44360116
Picard is a bad diplomat. He lets himself be trolled by Q.
That's why sisko hates him.
>"You took the bait, picard, and caused the deaths of my wife and TEN THOUSAND other starfleet personnel as well as countless others. You're not fit to wear that uniform."
It has nothing to do with being locutus. It's all about "We don't need you Q! haw haw haw!"
Au contraire, mon capitan. That ignorant arrogance will be your demise.

This is why Q never bothered DS9 after his one episode there. I mean he might as well have gone up to Picard and said "Humans are brutish thugs unfit to exist, prove me wrong!" And Picard fell for that shit EVERY FUCKING TIME. Sisko punching him was basically the equivalent of going "Here's your (You)". Fuck even Janeway wised up to it after a meeting or two. But Jean Luc kept getting successfully baited till the end

would you ever consider serving under one that wasent

Is this really worth watching? It seems kinda toonami-core.
>>44366743
That is honestly the biggest compliment you can give it, considering it is a love letter to the kind of anime that are toonami-core, in much the same way that Panty and Stocking was, and in the way that TTGL was a love letter to Super Robot stuff.
References, comedy, lightheartedness, genre savvy.

>That is honestly the biggest compliment you can give it
Okay, not gonna watch it then. Thanks.
>>44366867
It probably isn't for you if you are under age 25, anyway.
>>44366906
I'm exactly 25. I enjoy a different kind of pacing though, like what you usually get in LN adaptations.
>>44366906
You're projecting again.
>>44366926
Don't engage someone like that.
Sheridan is the best captain.
But that episode where Picard lives an entire life of alien memories from a probe was pretty cool.
>>44327017
Be able to recruit red shirts without them knowing
>>44367206
I liked Sinclair better, to be honest.
>>44367206
if nothing else, you have to respect his ungodly Will save.
He could be ticked off by Q easily, that's true.
But he could also withstand any amount of mental trauma, then a week later calmly request his replicator for tea and go over diplomatic dossiers.
>>44367735
>>44367206
Sinclair has good moments.

But Sheridan is best captain and leader of the resistance.
