Who should be the #1 MED crew?
The Great Gornholio
✭✭✭✭✭
Just curious and bored, so I wanted to see what everyone thinks. Right now the highest MED base stat is Mobile Doctor. Eventually he will be usurped due to natural power creep. Who do y'all think will/should be the new top Doc in the game?

Captain of the voyage vessels: Queen of Bashir, Landsknecht, and Sunspear, the first luxury starship cruiseliners.
Amenities include wifi, fully-functioning holodecks, a full-service bar, 3 party decks, a Trill spa, and a business centre.
Fun fact: The ships are propelled by bouncy castle technology.
I still wonder like whatever happened to that research? He eliminated Borg nanoprobes which despite no one knowing what those were at the time, would still have been valuable research to keep on record for Starfleet? So why wasn't it? Why were Starfleet surprised when the Borg resurfaced in Picard's time and later onward? I know it is due to retconning, but still, that piece of the puzzle never made sense in terms of the timeline.

I always wondered that too. I just told myself that all the research was taken and/or covered up by Temporal Investigations or Section 31.
EMH mark II.
Though Assemilated Phlox is also a solid option.
Its really the Starling universe created from Futures End. The 29th century tech was never destroyed in that timeline.
And thats the thing, the EMH's would have the collected data from Phlox so could do nothing but surpass him
It's reasonable to assume that Borg technology had advanced to a point where the outdated research would no longer be useful, is it not?
Captain Beverly Picard (from TNG "All Good Things..." is my favorite for best Doctor ever. I would also like to see the Pasteur as a ship.
She is obviously the most experienced Beverly and doesn't let anyone push her around.
Other contenders (by current poll order):
Alternative Future Joe (the EMH from VOY "Endgame")
Joe might be a silly name, but the Doctor having gone civilian and married after 27 years getting back to the Alpha Quadrent is clearly the version of the Doctor who has seen the most action.
The game is also sorely missing a Virtuoso Doctor (from VOY "Vertuoso")
Admiral McCoy (From TNG "Encounter at Farpoint")
The McCoy that Data meets in the TNG pilot episode looks ancient, but is as sharp as ever with advice to help pass the torch.
Formal Dress Bashir (from DS9 "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
I would go with Bashir in the middle of a Section 31 plot where he talks about the disease effecting Odo.
I'd argue his true equivalent moment to the others mentioned above is already in the game as Alternative Future Bashir.
We are missing a plain old Dominion War Bashir with his later season uniform. The unbuttoned look from DS9 "Extreme Measures" showcases his finest moment and might qualify though I'd argue that was as much a security thing given it involved counter intelligence work against Section 31. (I also couldn't find a screenshot of the scene from that episode I was thinking of, he is talking to Sloan before Sloan is captured.)
Also 1701 Julian Bashir (and O'Brien) is definitely needed to complete the set.
Partly Assimilated Phlox is definitely the number one Phlox I want, but I'd argue his finest hour is in the episode ENT "Twilight" where he cures Archer of a temporal affliction and fixes the timeline thereby. I'd call that version Ceti Alpha V Phlox.
I'd also like to see paranoid Phlox from ENT: "Doctor's Orders" and Klingon Prisoner Phlox from ENT "Affliction" and "Divergence".
I don't think any of the rest on the poll deserve it and the jury is out on Discovery stuff still though I imagine we will be getting Dr. Hugh Culber, Vice Admiral Katrina Cornwell (a former Psychologist) and Discovery CMO Dr. Anton Nambue as powerful Medical Crew at some point.

Wasn't it Borg from "First Contact' and thus Borg from the future? The Best of Both Worlds Borg would have been the out of date ones at that point.
Its crap like that that makes Enterprise look sloppy. Ferengi first contact as well.
Don't make me post pictures of a TOS tablet. TOS had good ideas in it but we've a few learned things since then.
Speaking of which...
The EMH is a computer. Computer's can multi-task. So why does he need a nurse or any assistants? He doesn't but it probably didn't occur to the Voyager writers that would be the case.
He looks humanoid since I imagine that would make patients more comfortable but you can still any number of things to get around that problem.
Bashir was the role model for appearance and personality (I know I'd love having to stare at Bashir's boyishly handsome face while undergoing some boring or bothersome procedure). Skills too, yes, but the EMH was always a conglomeration of skills from many many doctors across the federation.

I totally agree with his decision. His ethics didn’t allow him to interfere with the natural progression of life on that planet. And if you remember, he would have given it to them if Archer ordered him to do ultimately that decision was Archer’s not Phlox’s.
