Your Best Sci-Fi Ship's Crew

[The Groke]

There would be lots of knife fights, fucking and pie charts.

I prefer Knife fucking, pie fights and..um charts.

Captain – James T Kirk
Pilot – Commander Ed. Straker
Science Officer (figuring out weird space stuff, not fixing shit) - Data
Chief Engineer (fixing shit) – Ellen Ripley
Eye Candy – well Julian Bashir has kind of got this covered but I’ll go for Riddick
Weapons/Tactical Officer – Avon (I know it’s risky but I trust him…just!)
Security/Hand-to-hand Fighting – Rasczak (Michael Ironside in “Starship Troopers”)
Comic Relief/Wise Counsel/Misc (only one in this category, choose wisely) – Elim Garak (I’d like to see him and Avon face off!)
Doctor/Medical Officer: Dr. Julian Bashir

Mmm…appears to be a mixture of ass kicking and camp

 

[Idaho]

1. Captain - Neville Clavain (Redemption Ark)
2. Pilot - Adama (BSG)
3. Science Officer - Data - but with a personality reboot/wipe
4. Chief Engineer - O'Brien (SNG, DS9)
5. Eye Candy - We would have holosuites and a mop and bucket
6. Weapons/Tactical Officer - Ripley (Alien)/ team of Romulans
7. Security/Hand-to-hand Fighting - Duncan Idaho (Dune)
8. Comic Relief/Wise Counsel/Misc - Gainan (SNG) - she can be ok in some episodes
9. Medical - The hologram one - with a personality wipe/reboot

Flashman I like your ship very much.

It'd be fucking lively.

It would be full of homocidal/suicidal nutcases with ego problems. It wouldn't last a week.

You'd waste Ripley on fixing shit? Why not get Parker in as chief engineer and have Ripley as Weapons/Tactics?

 

[kabbes]

Paul Muad'Dib would definitely have a place somewhere on my ship.

There is a certain similarity with the Sci Fi Warriors thread -- Molly from Neuromancer again, I guess.

Dante from Devil May Cry would be my security

 

[The Octagon]

1. Captain - Gandalf
2. Pilot - Pilot (Farscape), obviously without the binding to the ship, unless I can have a tooled-up Moya)
3. Science Officer (figuring out weird space stuff, not fixing shit) - Data
4. Chief Engineer (fixing shit) - Kaylee Fry
5. Eye Candy - Barbarella
6. Weapons/Tactical Officer - Aeryn Sun
7. Security/Hand-to-hand Fighting - Buffy
8. Comic Relief/Wise Counsel/Misc (only one in this category, choose wisely) - Q
9. Medical - Daniel Linderman

I may have sneaked some fantasy in there rather than pure Sci-Fi....

It was a tricky one - nearly went for Brains to fix shit but I want Avon there to cause some friction (and because I used to really fancy him when I was younger ) and Ripley somewhere because she is hard and in case we encounter some acid-blooded alien. Or John Hurt.

 

[The Groke]

Ripley is a fucking pilot/bad-ass

Why would you put her in engineering.

I want Han Solo as pilot but then I thought Korben Dallas deserved a chance at that but he was already in as eye candy so then I got confused about who was going to be my wise-whispering in my ear in my bunk-counsel and gave up in confusion.

 

[rekil]

1. Captain Dracula
2. Pilot Mark Thatcher
3. Science Officer (figuring out weird space stuff, not fixing shit) Ash

3. Science Officer (figuring out weird space stuff, not fixing shit) - Lieutenant Columbo
4. Chief Engineer (fixing shit) - Scotty

7. Security/Hand-to-hand Fighting - Dante from Devil May Cry
8. Comic Relief/Wise Counsel/Misc (only one in this category, choose wisely) - Granny Weatherwax
9. Medical - White Mage

I admit that Columbo is controversial, but I never saw any weird shit that he couldn't work out.

 

[The Groke]

Oh FFS - doesn't this thread have any coherent standards?



Fine.

1. Captain - Dr Frasier Crane

Genuine substantial lol

 

[kabbes]

I particularly liked the build from Moomin Mama to Will Shakespeare to the cheese.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

1. Captain: Mal Reynolds
2. Pilot: Han Solo
3. Science Officer: Kryten

7. Security/Hand-to-hand Fighting: Chewbacca
8. Wise Counsel: Gandalf
9. Medical: Simon Tam

 

[Flashman]

What a way to go though.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

1. Captain - Mal Reynolds
2. Pilot - Han Solo

We appear to hav eboth selected this controversial captain/pilot duology, one which could make Han a bit resentful.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Ripley is a fucking pilot/bad-ass

Why would you put her in engineering.

Because Ed Staker is a pilot and has a lot of experience in dealing with unidentified flying objects. Plus he has a nice range in roll neck jumpers and cool hair.

AND...if he is injured then Ripley is ready to take over. Ahhh you see, I have thought beyond the initial and into the future

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

To add:

Is the recent release of Star Trek single-handedly responsible for the massive recent spike in Sci-Fi nerdgasms all across Urban?

Yes. See my post on the 'battle of the characters' thread. I pointed out that all this geekery would probably be a hanging offence (or at least a 48 hour ban) in any normal urban-week. We're expected to talk about obscure brazilian epic westerns, and generally namedrop at least 20 films a day that only 3 people in the entire hemisphere have actually heard of.

Don't worry, though, I'm sure by next week all this unashamed geekery will be clamped down on

You were wrong then and you're wrong now. This forum is mostly about Lost and The Apprentice.

You are most welcome.

Well perhaps we should just go the whole hog and throw Wash in there.

Yours is pretty much FF anyway...

 

[kabbes]

Actually, I really should make a place on the crew for Valentine Michael Smith, the Stranger in a Strange Land. That guy is the nuts.

 

[The Groke]

heh.
