Fighter Wing Commander/Fighter Ace: Wedge Antilles (The greatest starfighter pilot to ever live in the Star WARS Universe AND a cool dude, brings along his usual accomplices)

Hmm... As awesome as Wedge is/was (the dude survived THREE movies!), Luke is a better pilot than he was. He is probably on the top on the list for non-Force using pilots though.

Dang...more positions I forgot to fill in.

Helmsman: Matt Kenseth. 2012 Top NASCAR Driver.

I lay out the first no pick character. Ender cannot be used



My SF guru's: Master Chief

My top fighter Squadron well....Fighter Group: All 75 of the top fighter Aces from WWII.
Chief Med: I to will stick with Bones. Bones Sr from old school Star Trek and Bones Jr

Reason why incase some are unfamiliar with Battletech. Clan Star Adder gives me Battlemechs from 20-100 tons classes, Elementals(better then Space Marines), armor, and reg infantry.

Nothing is better than Space Marines dude....

The lack of love for Spock in this thread is...disconcerting.

I'll be honest, if I gotta pick a guy for a single mission? Spock is in. Gotta pick a guy that I will have to live with, share dining space with, and otherwise interact with on a daily basis without succumbing to the inevitable urge to stab them in the face? Spock is out. It's not that he isn't completely competent, it's just that it seems like living with him would get pretty grating after a while.

Clan Elemental will use and abuse him 8)

Chief engineer: The guys from Mythbusters

Agent/assassin/spy: Jar Jar Binks (Just beam him down somewhere near the intended target and watch the lols unfold)

Telepath/astropath: Doom of Malantai (Powergamer's choice)

Cool alien pet: Goroloth or Emohawk

Fixed that for you.

But they have chainSWORDS!

And POWERfists!

You must name this ship the SS Lollipop, and provision it with Tweenkies, Grey Goose, and Red Bull.

Do you think that would help with the Recruitment drive?
I'd imagine that Ewoks have bit of a sweet tooth, the insufferable b*stards.

But they are killer pilots with the prosthetic leg and arm extensions which let them work an X-Wing's controls.

There is only one pilot in the Galaxy who has survived two Death Star runs. That pilot is Wedge Antilles. As an objective measurement of skill (especially if you open it up to the EU, his career as a fighter jock was much longer then Luke's so of course his kills were higher) that's a pretty solid mark in Wedge's flight log.

Ship: Magellan-class Battleship, MS: Gundam - It was a toss-up between this and the Romulan Warship. One of the main reasons why I love the Magellan is that it reminds me of the battleships used in WWI and WWII...BUT IN SPACE.

Second officer: Bill Adama, BSG - This was a tough one, but I went with the Admiral due to his war experience, and his willingness to make tough decisions...even though his emotions can come into play sometimes.

Science officer: Cortana, Halo - Yeah, she's an AI, and they tend to go Rampant after 7 years...but I've always loved her character. Plus, she knows everything about everything, and extremely portable. Talk about convenient.

Adviser/Ship's counselor: Master Yoda, Star Wars - He trained Jedi and led the Jedi council for hundreds of years. I think he knows what he's talking about.

Tactical officer: Obi-wan Kenobi, Star Wars - Sure, he's a popular Jedi, but he was also a brilliant commander during the Clone Wars. He can be pretty "by the book", but has thought outside of the box more than once, and very successful.

Head of security: John McClane, Die Hard - He's a great cop with a good "gut" feeling on everything. I'd trust him protecting the ship!

Chief engineer: Montgomery Scott, Star Trek - I've always loved Scotty, but wih the current reboot of the ST series, I love him even more. Definitely the man I want working on my spaceship.

Agent/assassin/spy: Boba Fett, Star Wars - Best merc in the galaxy, and eventually the leader of the Manlorians? Yup. No other choice in my opinion.

Telepath/astropath: Judge Anderson, Judge Dredd - She's the leader of the Psi Division of Judges. Sounds good to me.

CAG/fighter ace: Wedge Antilles, Star Wars - I'm also with Wedge. Easily the best pilot out there, commanding Rogue Squadron to great success, and even becoming a General in his own right.

Cool alien pet: Uhhh...probably a squig. I guess.

Troops: Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, Halo - These guys don't get enough recognition. ODST's are an all-volunteer force of some of the highest trained soldiers out there, and are experts in all Special Operations, whether it be recon, counter-terror, to unconventional warfare behind enemy lines.

Fightercraft: Viper Mk VII, BSG - I've always thought the Viper was one of the coolest fighters out there, and the newest series really renforced that. Fast, manuverable, and easy to maintain; something everyone likes.

Does Eddie Murphy count?

(Or rather the space ship that looks like him )

edit: And if thats not allowed, an Oberon class battleship would do me nicely.

I have a question. Why would you all want to be in space?

Because we all can't swim and drowning sucks!

Because as a man's man, and a man of the sea in another time in age, all I ask for is a tall ship, a hull full of cargo and a star to steer her by.

Alternately. Alien hotties, adventure, stellar swashbuckling, alien hotties, thrilling heroics, you know. The usual.

Forgot the possible chance with space herpes

Proper use of space rubbers will prevent that.

Ice Pirates KK...Ice Pirates....Jebus

Now there was a ship and crew.

Doing disfunctional long before firefly.

And steam powered robots that do kung fu. What else do you need?

Fusion powered robots that do Wing Chun?

Thought I'd do my crew now.
