Pikard had many ladies in TNG...

I'd pick Kirk, can't do better than an OG; also Kirk is willing to cheat :)

Neither.

How long has it been since any of 'em actually *flew* anything? They're always telling the pilot what to do... and even then they're only in control of cap ships, not fighters. I'd want neither for my wingman....

as for which I'd want in control of my cap ship while I'm flying something else? Picard. How many Enterprises did Kirk go through? Did Kirk have any combat maneuvers named after him? Didn't think so...

I'd take Molari, did you see how he handled that shuttle, dogged fire from cap ships while entering a planets atmophsere.. gotta love them skills, might not take anyong down in a dogfight but he'd sure keep the ship in one peice..

Just 1, the original one, as opposed to the 2 ships Picard lost, Enterprise D and the Stargazer.

That's not to mention Picards taste for 'ramming speed' Still want him commanding you cap?

Well...

If we're gonna open it up to any fictional pilot....

Luke, Wedge, or Corran. (or any of the Skywalker children)

Come on, who wouldn't want a Jedi on their wing?

And Wedge? He's just a darn good pilot....

Neither--as already mentioned, they're starship captains, not fighter pilots. Jonathan Archer from the current Enterprise series would be a better choice, since until he became captain he was definitely a sort of test pilot, and crap pilots don't get given that sort of job. (Or, more to the point, a crap pilot doesn't live very long if given that sort of job :-)).

Definitely Picard!

He has a more serious look on his face on tough situations than Kirk. AND the “make it so” and "engage" lines have become... classic! :D I am gonna make a script to hear those in the game.

I believe that scripting will allow you to give your personal stuff commands automatically without you directly, each time, going through a menu- you can script your bases to get money from you if it gets too low, or at what amount should it transfer funds to you. Also, you're ships can be scripted for custom commands.

However, I don't believe that scripting is going to allow you to modify the voices. Of course if you we're really determined, you could probably make the verbrose computer captain Picard if you want. Image

hmm that actually sounds cool :D

Neither i'd have Janeway. Shes got a mean streak I like when shes p****ed off.

She'd have Picard's and Kirk's balls on a plate.

I hate Janeway :shock:

The voyager series was interesting but Janeway was just fake. She drank too much coffee and when the crew had to spare resources, she would cut off her important coffee.. :roll:


also, the way she fought was- *Im going to do this karate stuff to you-, although im going to make it not seem like karate- and you're going to stand there and let me hit you....*

I took me about two seasons just to get used to it! :headbang:
