Tardigrade was originally Stamets’ boss
Executive producers and show-runners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen J. Berg talked more about PaleyFest revelation that the tardigrade was originally planned to be a bridge officer on the USS Discovery named “Ephraim.” The character was to be Lieutenant Stamets’ boss. There were scripts written with “full on scenes,” including Ephraim talking to Michael Burnham “about the meaning of life, spores, and the beauty of mushrooms.”
A special bridge station was designed which he “leaned over” and there was also a special “sash” uniform for him as well. Harberts said having a tardigrade as a character on the ship was “pretty trippy,” and “fantastic.” But, in the end it just wasn’t feasible due to the CGI costs involved.
I'm glad this never came to fruition. Discovery was pretty hard to muck through at times as is, but I made it to the end of the 1st season half and found some redeemable parts in it. But if this plotline had taken off, there was no way I'd have been able to make it that far. It's too preposterous for my tastes.

Ripper's sentient, and effectively functions as a navigation specialist for the spore drive. Having him a playable crew makes total sense to me.
In fact, it makes more sense than having a super-powered being like Q on your bridge crew. It's infinitely more sensible than Spot or Porthos.
Oi! Spot and Porthos are sentient! And they can... navigate... sort of...
I wish we had gotten that planned post-credit scene from the first JJ Star Trek where Porthos is on a little island after Scotty "lost" him testing his transporter theory.....
"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
Hmm. Well, it's not a character I'll be going for, even though I've yet to make my mind up on Discovery. I wouldn't have bought a pack anyway because I have Nexus Kirk FF/FE.

Non-humanoid? Sure. Go the B5 route with the GAIM and the Vorlons and do an encounter suit and translator. Like having Stephen Hawking on the bridge with different limb and body config. That's how they did the Horta Ensign in the some of the lesser quality Trek novels.
Magical mystical creature that taps into mystical spores that provide teleportation as a nav console guy? Maybe if it's Star Wars and his midichlorians help him 'feel the spores'.
That's actually worse than Voyager time travel and TNG Holodeck eps combined.

Meh, it's no worse than other Trek things like the Traveller taking the Ent-D to the edges of reality, magic wizard Q turning the crew into Merry Men, giant ameobas in space, visitors from Andromeda jerry-rigging the original Enterprise to cross between galaxies or shapeshifters which can apparently also alter their mass at will.
There are a lot of conceits throughout the entire franchise, my only issue with the spore drive is that it currently breaks continuity without a sound reason. All the updated tech makes sense given it's a show developed in the late 2010's, spore drive not as much, although I'm sure it'll provide an author a payday when it gets retconned into a VOY novel.
Ripper is great! Just shame his stats are not better
1300+ base SEC isn't good enough for you?
His security is definitely great but he only has two skills not three. I dont like any legendaries with only two skills as they are not as good in voyages.

Its this sort of closet “horta-ist” stereotypes that cause hortas to hit the silicon ceiling in Starfleet (only good enough to be an ensign)... Educated professional Hortas would never use their mineral samples as “Doritos”... unless it was dilithium crystals... unfortunately that’s like crack for hortas... it’s a real problem...
the art on ripper is perplexing. looks like a guy in a fun fur suit and mask. If they had it just like in the show I might have gone for him. So I kind of thank the art team for saving my dilithium.
