List of other commanding officers of the Enterprise is available here.

EDIT:added a negative option and a additional poll for commander skills.

 

EDIT 2: Feel free to post your ideas for buffed commander skills if you want them as well.

I don't think Enterprise should have a premium commander. If it's anything like Seagal, then it would seem like pay to win. If it's just a name and portrait, go right ahead.

They should get a buff to Air Supremacy.

Not really feeling the Star Trek captain options.  If anything, the hypothetical Legendary Commander should be Adm. Halsey.

[MrDeaf]

can we get legendary captains for other nations first?

I second this.

[Admiral_Franz_von_Hipper]

+1 Airplane to squadron size of all aircraft groups.

[Atom_Alchemist]

 

I second this.

 

Hence why I had a historical captain answer as well.

[hipcanuck]

I would prefer historical commanders for every nation TBH, although I picked Kirk in the poll.

[CapnCappy]

I'd rather keep the cheese out of the game and go with Captain John Shaw.

Yes please other nations first.

[Atom_Alchemist]

 

Yes please other nations first.

 

i have heard your please and added such a option to the poll.

Something of note, Seagal's skill buffs are to two low point skills. Maybe change the option to 1 high point skill or 2 low point skills? Buffing two skills for example Air Supremacy and say Dog Fighting Expert would be complete troll buffs for AS CV players, and especially so for Enterprise with tier VII planes.

I'd love to give the Enterprise a heal, just to showcase the sheer number of times she's been able to repair herself in and out of battle when the Japanese thought her to be sunk.

 

For instance, after she'd been heavily damaged in the Battle of the Santa Cruz islands, she retired to Noumea for quick repairs, and during the desperate struggle for Guadalcanal in late 1942, she went out again, as described by Lieutenant Commander Herschel Albert Smith, battered, scarred, but still ready and willing to throw down.

 

"She made the open sea with her decks still shaking and echoing to air hammers, with welders' arcs still sparking, with a big bulge in her right side forward, without water tight integrity and one oil tank still leaking, and with her forward elevator still jammed as it had been since the bomb at Santa Cruz broke in half."

 

She promptly threw herself and her air wing into the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, where her strike aircraft helped finish off the Hiei along with a heavy cruiser and six transports.

A big fat NO  ! ! !

[LubzinNJ]

No to premium commanders and especially no to premium commanders having bonus abilities. Yes we have Seagal and his bonus ammo switch and bonus WD-40 but lets be honest ammo switch is a waste of a skill point and we have to pay for having that better WD-40 by having Seagal voice our captain commands, I'd say that was a fair trade off.

[SuperNikoPower]

I'd say Picard as long as he says both "Engage" and "Make it so".

[Paint_Huffer]

Halsey.

Huh. I would not call the ammo switch a waste of a skill point-the ability to shift between HE and AP in less than four seconds has saved me a few times in my US Cruisers when unexpected DDs pop up out of the blue.

I'll make this my last post on the topic so as not to derail the thread but yes every skill has a value to it but the number of times that has saved your bacon vs the lost opportunity not having that point to spend elsewhere...well that might be a trade off you're okay with but it happens so infrequently that I'd rather spend that point elsewhere. I've also never seen a ship captain build on shipcomrade that includes it...granted I haven't checked many cruiser builds out though as I rarely play them anymore.

[DeliciousFart]

Admiral Marc Mitscher? 

 

That said, please no "special" captain abilities, that stuff is bad enough with the whole Seagal nonsense.

[Fog_Repair_Ship_Akashi]

I vote for William "Bull" Halsey Jr. 

He commanded the Enterprise from Pearl Harbor to just before Midway (would of been there but had medical issues) and made the Enterprise the flagship of the US Pacific fleet. If not him then Raymond A. Spruance who lead the Enterprise at Midway.

Not Halsey. Spurance should be the commander since he flew bis flag on Enterprise during Midway.

[IJN_Yamato_BB17]

In my opinion it should just be Admiral Bull Halsey.
