Gauging Interest: Star Trek (Icon)

Edit; thanks blackrat didn't know there was schooling after the academy and yes have to think of his first ships before the Burman ok thanks workimng on its

Yeah, I'd say in order to get to the helm of a ship, you'd need to either graduate with very high marks from the Academy (and even then you'd be on third watch or something), or spend a couple of years doing something else on a ship first, learning by observing. Or be the only one with flight training left standing

It is a general guideline. Nog, for example, entered the academy in 2371, but is back on DS9 in 2374. While still technically a cadet at this time (on cadet field training), he is done with the actual academy. He and earns a field promotion to ensign shortly thereafter.

Yep. And how old was Wesley when he got admitted to the academy? I'm not sure, but I guess he wasn't even 19 yet? To the Memory Alpha!

I think he was 17.

Prior flight training like a merchant or "pirate?"

hmmm.. my background is not yet complete i think a little piracy is in order

I haven't yet decided which was the case with Raphael, but graduating from medical academy at 25 means that he either went through both academies in 5 years, or got in to the academy at extremely young age . I guess a little bit of both. Made it in 6 and went to the academy at 19...

It would stand to reason that Star Fleet would want one of its brightest stars on its new flag-ship too, so some wunderkind Medical Ace could definitely be in order.

Maquis. It's French.

Apparently, Doctor's and such who are the brightest stars, can choose their own posting. If you remember, Dr. Bashir was salutatorian, and got to choose Deep Space Nine. The valedictorian, I forget her name, got first choice, and chose the Lexington.

I did catch that. I'm watching DS9 from the beginning so I can get familiarized with this timeframe. But I'm sure that if Star Fleet requested that you personally be the lead doctor on their state-of-the-art fully-automated flagship and they wanted you and no other, I'd have a hard time saying that I'd rather serve the Lexington.

True enough. I'm just saying.

DS9 is the best, even if Seasons 1 & 2 are a little slow.

Blackrat - rough draft sent in PM.


Ethandrew - I will go ahead and see if I can create your character tomorrow. Is there any certain engineering skill you would like to specialize in?


Garyh - Possibly tomorrow but more likely I will send you the rough draft on friday.
