no one is better as the chief then scotty
scotty: captain i need two hours to repair this!
kirk: you have one
scotty: i`ll make it in a half

do i really have to say more

Captian - Jean-Luc Picard.
C'mon! The guy's awesome. He is perfectly capable of unleashing some serious sh#t if the situation calls for it, but he is tempered by reason and experience. He would know when to talk and when to lock on the Quantums.

Executive Officer - Data.
A man like Picard relies on accurate, unbiased information to make consistently good decisions. In TNG, he relied on the entire crew, but Data could provide all the information needed AND be unbiased. Two advantages as well. He could easily take over any position that was needed, and he could serve as the repository of grim statistics!

Operations officer - O'Brien.
Who else, really? (at least if you move Data) Miles is a very balanced engineer. He understands and can deal with anything, but also is not exactly enough of a specialist to just look after the engines - he'd also get bored.

Science Officer - Spock.
Two words: pointy ears. 'Nuff said.

Tactical Offider - Riker.
He really is every bit as good as Worf, plus his penchant for using creative new tactics would mean no enemy could likely ever predict him!

Security Chief - Worf.
He'd get some glorious hand to hand combat, (mainly he's here because otherwise he'd have to be CMO ) (otherwise Odo, but a starship might need a more by-the-book character than a station.

Chief Medical Officer - McCoy (with assistance from Nurses Crusher and Bashir).
Given my choices for the rest of his team, he'll really start to miss the Vulcans.

Chief Engineer - Scotty.
Who else could ever replace Scotty? I like LaForge a lot, but just imagine a Scotty-O'Brien combo!

Helmsman - Sisko.*
He does indeed own the helm. He might have issues being under Picard's command, so if he asks for a transfer...

Helmsman (in case Sisko kills something) - Sulu.
Why not?

Additional science specialists (to fill up the science stations at the rear of the bridge) - Jadzia Dax, Janeway. (she has a science background, and she's cool)

Red Shirts - EMH's - They'd drive so many aliens crazy that they might not get around to killing the real red-shirts.

Waste Extraction - Wesley Crusher.
If he whines, see above.

Guy to seduce any females who are too young for Picard - Kirk.
What else would he be good for here? (plus, if you have Spock and McCoy, you just HAVE to have Kirk to fill out the best character triangle ever!)

I'd just like a Prometheus!

That would certainly be a nice addition to my Warbirds!

Captain, i'm detecting a small ship heading towards us at Warp...it's a Danube-class runabout!
Dammit! Data must have put in his emotion chip again. I didn't mean to leave my dog in the same place as his cat! Helmsman, get us out of here, maximum Warp!
Captain, she's powering up weapons...targeting the Warp Core!
Evasive maneouvers, GET US OUT OF HERE!...
<Blood curdling screams, Data singing some opera...>

Just think, if they had deployed Data on DS9, the Founder would be Playdoh and Weyouns would be on No 327...

And, yes. DATA IS FREAKIN' LT. COMMANDER?!?! TROI actualy outranks him!!!! Please...

Lol, you just edited the post, Matress?

Edited? Post? Which one? I haven't edited any of my posts since this morning CVN! (And that was only coz of DF)

How I smite my affliction!

Well... Then I better go take my happy pills cause I could have sworn this last post in the thread was edited... You're not messing with my mind, Romulan, are you?

If you bother to read, then you'll notice that there isn't any 'edited' messages under my posts in this thread - and you'd better see a doctor about those happy pills - it sounds like you have a bit of an addiction there...

I am addicted to happy pills! HAPPY PILSS OF LIFE!!!! WHOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

And besides, 'edited' messages can be forged, Matress... YOU of all people should know that (:lol: )

Captain- Sulu, the badass captain that never got a real chance

1st officer- Colonel Kira, not strictly starfleet but her and sulu in command would be unstoppable

science-Spock

Helm-Paris

chief engineer- scotty

transport chief- o'brien

Chief medical officer- McCoy, greatest trek doctor

tactical- Chekov

security- Reed

ops- Data

red shirts- travis mayweather, besides his obviously silly name the guy never got any lines/stories, i reckon he should be the only red shirt, and should die every week just like kenny

consillor- dax, jadzia that is, shed make a great one

waste extraction- berman and braga, and the series would have several episodes of them knee deep in it
