What races will makeup your bridge crew?

[Sir_Cedric]

Well I have not figured mine out yet, and it's never too early to plan this. So I would like to hear your ideas for a bridge crew. I know for one I must have a Vulcan in mine, just not sure is they will be male or female. lol

So lets here who you have planned for your crews.

[Interdictor]

Hmm......

My first officer shall be green, amphibious, and sporting a conical head,

My Tactical officer, shall be female, purple hair, and cyclopean.

My Helmsman shall be human with spiky blonde hair.

My Chief Engineer shall be a grey-skinned android.

My Chief Medical Officer will be a red-skinned crustacean-like alien.

Yup - totally original. :D

I'll be playing both Klingon and Feds.

I have not finalized things yet because I don't know how many crew we will get (to start and then as we progress) and what roles we will have.

But I will take advantage of the MYO (Make your own) tool, to make some of the species I've liked for from other Sci-Fi like Luxan (http://farscape.wikia.com/wiki/Luxans) and a Canoid. But I'll definitely have a Romulan/Vulcan hybrid (like Saavik was planned to be), an Andorian when it comes to Feds.

For the Klingons, I'm not as sure... may have a lot of fun with the MYO tool with them, but my Capt. will be a Klingon for sure.

(laughs hysterically to self for several moments)

[DanSeale]

hmmm

1 vulcan (at least)
1 human (from Scotland) (male )
1 Klingon/human : (male)

frankly the rest may be something I look into as the game progresses. I really like what Cryptic has done with the ability to customize our charactors ... so .. yeah .. I really would like to take a look at the possibilities.

[thefreshjedi]

On a lighter note.

My crew will be all female betazoids, with short mini-skirts, wet pony-tailed hair, and guitars.

I might even name my first ship "Simply Irresistible".


Oh yeah baby. I went there.


-avery

She's so fine there's no telling where the money went...

[Jamisicus6]

A Klingon on Security, a Vulcan as my counselor, an orion slave as my personal *ahem Therapist...

Oh and a Betazoid as my naviagtor (telepathy would help make commands faster)

the rest of the bridge crew would be a mixture with no specific races.

Are you sure you have your mind on the game right now ?

:D

[USS_ARROW]

Got to have a Human as my XO and Chief Engineer. As for the others, dont know yet

[TheMasterpiece]

Lets assume chief engineer and CMO are "bridge crew". this gives us captain, commander, tactical, ops, helm, engineer, medical, and science. a nice 8 crew to develop. I think id want primarly humans and vulcans, an andorian, maybe a minor race as well.

[thefreshjedi]

:D

Sorry, I needed a break from all the negative crap on the posts. I just couldn't help myself.

Yikes... this is extremely difficult, as I'm finding it hard to move away from the perfect crew in TNG.

Hmm... well for sure I'd like to steal Dr. Beverley Crusher from her current post to definitely be my chief medical officer.

I definitely would like a Vulcan Science Officer. An android communications officer. Blast, I need to get my star trek manuals out, I am forgetting all the races in ST.

Okay, this is all I will say, I must have: A Vulcan, Android, Betazoid, and Dr. Beverley Crusher. All the rest ... :: shrug ::

[DanSeale]

you're cool ... I got a good chuckle out of it .. that was why replied as I did !

It's good to have some fun with this stuff.

[Vicelance]

Got to have an Andorian and a Vulcan not sure what there roles will be.

All really depends on each races special skills, and how many bridge crew NPC"s we get.

[Tim_ONeil]

See my signature below. I'm very much inspired by Enterprise and some of my favorite characters from the other shows.

[LEONHART]

Coneheads all the way. :rolleyes:

[Elfender]

well then . . . my first pick was

Captain: Kzinti (using Character creator) if possible, Human/Vulcan if not
XO: Shapeshifter or Android if possible, if not then probably Human
Tactical/Security: Bjoran
Medical: Betazoid
Helm: Human
Engineer: Andoran
Science: Vulcan

[Saladin_Class]

Orion Slave Girls

[Commander_Daedelus]

Captain - Cardassian (premade if fed or character create if aligned with klingons)

First officer - Bajoran Male

Tactical officer - Andorian Male

Helm - Human Female

Chief Engineer - Bolian Male

Chief Medical Officer Trill Female

[Powerhelm]

I'm really hoping other players' unique race characters get seeded with some variation into the pool of NPCs for choosing...

Be nice if you could pick a "top 2 or 3" at character creation and they're logged as racial variations for males an select the same for females...

Otherwise I guess it'll depend on whether or not their race impacts traits and capability in any given position.

Human - First Officer
Vulcan - Chief Medical Officer
Bolian - Chief Engineer
Ferengi - Helm
Andorian - Tactical

[osena]

First officer - Vulcan Female

Tactical officer - Human Male

Helm - Trill Female

Chief Engineer - Bajoran Male

Chief Medical Officer Betaziod Female

[MajorD]

My entire crew will be made up of Borg drones and Coneheads (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt0106598% 2F&ei=qUuRSc6MCY3BtgeZ1eTQCw&usg=AFQjCNHHvg7qKphTCj311mMV9ueji9sy-g&sig2=7eMf-ML1MCNnifDDNzgvow)with male pattern baldness. I really want to be able to make Coneheads and give male pattern baldness of varying levels to men and women. Perhaps I'll make a race of George Costanzas crewing the USS Vandelay.

[IanD967]

Captain: possible choice from: created race, Tellarite or Human/Tellarite combo
XO: Human
Tactical/Security: Tellarite
Medical: Vulcan
Helm: Human
Engineer: Bolian or Tellarite
Science: Hologram


thats it at the moment although subject to change once we get more info on this sort of stuff :D

[XaqonSehvekah]

Depends on what can be done with the race creator. The only thing I can say for certian, is that there won't be a single human aboard any of my ships.

I rather like the idea of humanity having nothing in comon with being human, but rather an aspect of a given individual, so the further from human I can make my crew, the better. Plus, as "enlightened" as the feddies like to protray and think of themselves as being, it somehow makes sense(to my mind, at least) that all the "ugly" and "misshapen" races would all get lumped together on a ship where the humans wouldn't have to think about them. Small wonder then why the captian would name her the Inglorious.

[Mattastic]

It depends what officers I can get, but I'm thinking:

Vulcan Chief Engineer (my initial character choice way back when the game was announced)
Boslic (http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/inconsistencies/boslic-thehomecoming.jpg) Helm Officer (because I wanted something obscure)
Andorian Science Officer (because I needed at least one more alien)

The rest might end up being human, but I definitely want to have a mess around with the race creator and I might have one or two of my own creations too!

[Paulo999]

First officer - Species 8472 ... called Sheeba
Tactical officer - Bajorian Female
Helm - Trill Male
Chief Engineer - Human Male
Chief Medical Officer - Betaziod Female
Science Officer - Human Female
Redshirt - human Male

[Sir_Cedric]

Ok I am getting some ideas:

1. Vulcan female a must
2. A Cardassin Male (Why not? ) lol
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?

I might go human with one of the others, but I am still thinking lol.

everyone seems to be swaying with atleast one artificial officer (bunch data-wannabe's running around...gah -_- )

[Tabby_Cat]

I think I will decide when the time comes to select a crew.

[Sir_Cedric]

I was thinking wait until release, but hey I want to get off the launch pad running, and I don't want to have this as one of the things I am figuring out then. lol

[robgomm]

I love this thread. So much to choose from.

Okay:

First Officer: Human
Science Officer: Vulcan
Tactical Officer: Andorian
Medical Officer: Betazoid
Cheif Engineer: Bolian
Helmsman: Bajoran

A real mixture there!

[Sir_Cedric]

Did Cryptic Studio/ Atari say that Androids would be a bridge crew selection? I know B4 will be in the game, but will there be others like him around?

[chrisdanger]

Without assigning any chairs right now, I do think my crew will be a mix of Human, Vulcan, Bolian, Andorian, Ferengi and Bajoran. I may toss in an Android or EMH/ECH if they're available

[IanD967]

Did Cryptic Studio/ Atari say that Androids would be a bridge crew selection? I know B4 will be in the game, but will there be others like him around?

i hope not

plus The doctor and holograms in general seemed to of taken over that role since they are basically walking computers and with the Doctors mobile emitter being reproduced they could easily be on away teams :D

[Mattastic]

It looks like recreating a Data for your crew would be absurdly easy in the character creator. Just add traits for intelligence and strength and so on, and you have an android. Easy.

[fireraven]

as long as they got the skills it doesn't matter to me... gonna probably depend on racial traits that might add a "bonus" to what job they are assigned

[neomarsala]

Captain: Bajoran male
Science officer and/or 1st officer: Trill female

That's all I really know for sure right now. I'd like to have a Vulcan in there somewhere. I was thinking maybe a Cardassian too, if they are usable in the Federation. I suppose I should create a custom race for at least one member of the crew. I'd probably fill in the rest of the spots with humans.

[IanD967]

why not use the creature creator to create a cardassian? make him like an exile (Eg: Garak) :D its clearly easy to do and available heh since it was shown in that video

[Paratus6]

:D @ TheFreshJedi !! "...addicted to love!"
Okay, I'll jump in on this one.
Gotta have a female Vulcan Science Officer. I'll make her look like Jolene Blalock, for sure. She'll be on every away team, just so that I can check out her...umm...uniform.
Helm will be manned by a male Andorian.
Comm will be a beautiful female human (African-American, of course!).
Engineering will be a Bjorn male.
Tactical staffed by a 2 meter tall Russian named Ivan (nick-named "Ivan The Terrible").
Medical will be a Trill female.

[A_Martin]

Hmm......

My first officer shall be green, amphibious, and sporting a conical head,

My Tactical officer, shall be female, purple hair, and cyclopean.

My Helmsman shall be human with spiky blonde hair.

My Chief Engineer shall be a grey-skinned android.

My Chief Medical Officer will be a red-skinned crustacean-like alien.

Yup - totally original. :D

Well met, sir.

......

Gorn :p

[Blackfire2]

My crew will all be Orion slave women :D:D:D

[Elfender]

on second thought, i might like

Captain: Kzinti (using Character creator) if possible, Human/Vulcan if not
XO: Trill, Joined if possible
Tactical/Security: Bjoran
Medical: Betazoid
Helm: Andoran
Engineer: Ferengi
Science: Vulcan

[Starship01]

My bridge crew would be

Tactical: Human
Science: Trill
Helm: Bajoran
Medical: Half human/ half andorain
Engineer: Vulcan

This is only a possiblity

[demonic25]

My crew will all be Orion slave women :D:D:D

Would they have to wear the uniform???!...or could we get away with the nakedness?.

[DarthWarth]

I think I'd go for mainly humans in keeping with the series'. Though the main reason for that is to reduce make up time on set so I may go for a good mix as it doesn't matter in game. Meh I dunno.

[drreyga]

Im not gonna be too picky...prolly federation species mostly.

but if some lamey kid makes up a 'brand new race' then idk.

the exception being a half x/y...
