Wonder which rerun that points towards...
19th century Dukat? I'm in!
Rerun, or Marc Alaimo event? Give us that random TNG season one Romulan, please!
Times Arrow????
I think you're right, I was really hoping for Gods and Masters though
I have the opposite ...
- Katra McCoy ... 1800+ base MED will be my best MED option so he's coming out for the lone MED seat probably ... Drafted is DIP main ... Katra has a better base than my 1/5 Dark Ages (who will take secondary MED duties being out anyway) and DA McCoy needs to be 4/5 (or better) to have a higher base MED than Katra.
- Drafted ... will come out because 3x bonus is just good at all stages.
- Chakotays ... maybe Disguised Chakotay but I think Warship and GI are probably too weak when compared to the Survivalist crew out (and the still frozen ones) ... will have a look later if Disguised makes it.
EDIT: Disguised comes in at #9 base SEC for me and the other two even lower ... unless there's a massive abundance of SEC seats they're all staying in.
Yes. And goodbye to my stockpiles, should he be introduced, because I will use them all. Literally.
You wouldn't want thin cheesecake.

This video cuts out the best part (the end) but it brought me back down memory lane.
Pretty sure it's another Year of Hell character. He had a pretty important arc in that episode, and while Resolute isn't the adjective I would've chosen, it fits.
I think I'd have named him Down the Rabbit Hole Chakotay, but that's admittedly kinda long.
He was also, sadly, the least developed, character-wise, of any Star Trek first officer. The majority of Chakotay's scenes were effectively "Janeway" scenes. Tuvok ran rings around him in terms of character development, as did Paris and B'Elanna, and especially Seven and the Doctor.
Harry Kim still doesn't count.
Harry and Chakotay were done pretty dirty by the Voyager writers. I almost think that Chakotay should have been on DS9 in place of Eddington - not that I think Eddington was poorly written or performed, just that it would maybe have been more impactful to see the steadfast, loyal, supportive guy Chakotay was for Janeway turn into the Maquis Mauler...maybe a slow burn rather than a surprise shift like we got from Eddington.
I think that was the genius of Eddington, and similarly, DS9. We get introduced to this straight arrow, by the book seeming Federation officer, and then boom, he goes full resistance fighter. Granted, it's pretty tame in by today's standards (For instance, Saul Tigh being Cylon on BSG) but it was good for Star Trek. Sure, TNG had kind of done it with Ensign Ro, but DS9 did it darker. And it brought out the best and worst in Benjamin Sisko. If memory serves, he committed war crimes trying to stop him.
Voyager's all "Oh actually Chakotay boxed with Boothby! Remember Boothby! Yea, eat it up, nerds!"
This is the rare occasion when a 6* player should be introduced to the game.

You got me thinking about first officers...
Riker was too much of a womanizer and effectively just a captain-in-training under Picard. But good at carrying out orders, to be fair.
There's Chakotay, who you described nicely.
Number One has a special place in my heart for being first, though not well developed. She did the job nicely from what I saw. She laid out options and then carried out orders, sometimes (correctly) intuiting and carrying out orders before they were officially given.
Did anyone else have a first officer? Spock was next in command, but a science officer. Neither Dax not Worf had the title of first officer. Same with T'Pol and Trip.
And now I'm annoyed. It seemed like first officer was a position that came about after Kirk's time. Except that Burnham and Saru were both first officers. And I don't want to dig into those two for two reasons:
1) It rehashes old qualms with Discovery, but more importantly...
2) There will be spoilers best discussed in other threads.
It was a long, drawn-out way of saying it, but basically, I think Chakotay was a good first officer - better than Riker, but may and may not be as good as Number One.
