So who do you think was the worst officer on any of the ships?

    It can be anyone they don't need to have had a long career or backstory. For me it was the first officer on Voyager. What was he thinking when he decided ''oh we are about to be it by a massive wave sure I will just run and try to jump'' instead of doing the obvious and grabbing hold of a rail like the rest the bridge crew.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Maybe not always on ships, but can I put forward the overall rank of Admiral? Seems like the Federations main blindspot is promoting incompetent or just plain evil officers to Admiral on a consistent basis :D

    EDIT: I've never looked at her rank this closely before, is she a full admiral?

    Its a bit mad when you think of it that Janeway made Admiral before Picard. Maybe that's one of the reasons Picard decides to leave Starfleet that and all the other incompetent admiral's in it.

    Picard probably turned down a few promotion opportunities to stay in the big chair.

    They are all either Changelings or they are infected by the parasite from Conspiracy. They havent gone away you know.
    Seems like its a part of the promotion ceremony.

    Didn't they offer him a chance to be the Dean of Starfleet Academy during TNG? I can only imagine that would result in promotion to Admiral.

    Assuming it follows the US Navy ranks, she'll be a junior rear admiral.
    Ultimately driving a desk.

    BORING!

    I can only see 3 pips there.

    If I remember right, most of the admirals we encountered had 3 pips (and occasional junior Admiral with only 2 pips)
    Rare occasions like with Future Admiral Riker, or Admiral Ross (i think?) on DS9 had 4 pips. I guess they were Fleet Admirals.

    The border looks like it extends too far to not have a fourth pip.

    Let's hope that desk terminal is connected to a fleet simulation programme, rather than the real fleet, so she can't do any more damage...

    For some reason I was starting to imagine a Gul Madred moment there.

    Madred: You are mistaken.....there are four pips.

    Rawr: There....are.....THREE.....pips.....


    But in the end I actually started to believe that there were....four pips.....:eek:
