> [@Trinopus](#): > > Your best Starship Captain prefers illusions to reality. Your second-best Starship Captain is in a mental hospital. Your third-best Starship Captain doesn’t know how to keep his shirt in place. This would bring the entire fight to a stop. “Are you saying Janeway is the best? (Visits the holodeck a lot) and Kirk is the third?” “No no. Kirk is the first! Picard is the third!” “You know in this one book…Kirk was in a mental hospital” “SHUT UP!!!” ---

> [@terentii](#): > > Huh! I’d’ve thought Pike was the first, Garth was the second, and Kirk was the third. :dubious: 😕 That was my intent…but I really like **Dale Sams** ’ idea of using it to start a fight! Better than calling the other guy’s ship a garbage scow! “Pike! You clod! It’s obviously Sisko!” “What? You Sehlat! Captain Sulu totally rocks!” And so on, endlessly! It’ll bring their entire economy to a halt!
