RethBurn here, presenting one of the best questions from yesterday.
If you had to make the best crew possible, out of your favorite characters from TV, any game or show, what would it consist of?
Captain :
Engineer :
Gunner :
Auxhillary gunner/engineer :
-
Captain: Jean-Luc Picard (Star Treack the next generation)
Engineer: Rosa Rodriguez (Defiance)
Gunner: Alucard (Hellsing)
Auxiliary: Jim Hawkins (Treasure Planet)
-
Captain: Ender Wiggin (Ender's Game) - Tactical genius who can forge a winning team out of anybody
Engineer: Kaylee (Firefly) - She can keep the old girl in the air no matter what falls off
Gunner: Hlaine 'Mad' Larkin (Gaunt's Ghosts 40k) - Noted for blind fire headshots on heavy weapon crews behind soft cover
Auxiliary: Tony Stark (Marvel Comics) - Decent shot capable of jury rigging anything into a weapon.
-
Captain : Keanu Reaves - All buisness
Engineer : Elmo - Flexable and agile
Gunner : Riley Freeman - AKA Young Breezy
Auxhillary gunner/engineer : Spike Spiegel - Cowboy Bebop

Gunner: Not sure
Auxiliary: Not sure
-
Captain : Han Solo (Star Wars)
Engineer : Gordon Freeman (Half-Life)
Gunner : Ash Williams (Evil Dead)
Auxhillary : not sure but I'll settle Burt Gummer (Tremors) at the moment
-

Auxhillary gunner/engineer : Engineer from TF2
-
Captain: Seth MacFarlane
Engineer: Dramatic Hamster (Internet viral sensation)
Gunner: FPSRussia
Auxhillary: Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters)
-
Captain: The Stig. It would humor me to no end to watch him try to fly an airship instead of a car. Who knows, he might actually be good at it.
Engineer: Wile E. Coyote. That dude knows how to build stuff.
Gunner: A cat. Cats are evil, and would jump at the chance to shoot things with prejudice.
Auxiliary: Chip Skylark, cos my shiny teeth need a theme song in the skies.
-
Captain: Patrick Star. So he can go LEEDLE LEEDLE LEE.
Engineer: Bill Nye The Science Guy. I mean who wouldn't want him on a ship.
Gunner: Jar-Jar Binks. Mans either a genius or an idiot on the gun.
Auxiliary: Billy from Billy and Mandy. Kids got spunk.
-
Captain: The Stig. It would humor me to no end to watch him try to fly an airship instead of a car. Who knows, he might actually be good at it.
Some say his phoenix claw came from a velociraptor, and that he is the only man to have ridden on the back of a sky whale and lived. All we know is, he is called the Stig.
Auxhillary: Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters)
Good choice. He is an excellent marksman, engineer, and a snappy dresser. Howe he keeps that white shirt clean while working with Adam must involve supernatural powers.
-
Captain : Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) Who needs a harpoon gun when you can just grab them yourself
Engineer : Hephestus... Who better than the smithing god to keep your hull up?
Gunner : Revy (Black Lagoon) Good with guns, and looks good doing it... what else can one say?
Auxhillary gunner/engineer : Jesus... He's already crewed on my ship, and has done so spectacularly :P
-
Captain: The Stig. It would humor me to no end to watch him try to fly an airship instead of a car. Who knows, he might actually be good at it.
I take back anything bad I've ever said about you (I.e. The grammar stuff :P)
Some say that he can beat the Paddling in a sniping match, and that he recently managed to get Firestone to bow down to his superiority. All we know is, he's called the Stig.

Some say the he convinced Spasmic Monkey that Flak really was OP, and that The Cogs is just the mechanical representation of his brain. All we know is, he's called the Stig.

'kay, time for my own
Captain: Gordon Ramsey (Cooking shows) This guy is a legend within cooking, and he can shout better than Firestone when something doesn't go his way, a master at both his job and toughening people up.
Engineer: The 10nth Doctor (Doctor Who) I haven't seen a thing he can't repair, I mean come on, Sonic Screeeeewdriveeeer! (Not sure about the uhh, "Killing" problem)
Gunner: Garrus Vakarian (Mass Effect) With our favorite Turian at the guns, shooting and calibrating, HOW COULD WE MISS?!
Auxiliary: Kara "Starbuck" Thrace (BattleStar Galactica) Ahem, she repaired an alien ship while stuck on a stranded planet with no Oxygen, managed to get it running and flew back, she's also a Fighter-squadron captain and amazing at non-automated guns.

Captain M.bision
Gunner Mega man
Engineer nightcrawler
Aux akuma
-
Captain and auxiliary: Lieutenant Colonel John Smith
Pilot: Captain H.M. Murdock
Engineer: Sergeant First Class Bosco Baracus
Gunner: Lieutenant Templeton Peck
If you can find them, maybe you can hire them.

Captain: Swedish Chef
Engineer: Chewbacca
Gunner: Togepi
Float: Kenny
Just imagine the voice chat.
Hervy Dervy Goldyfishy broom broom!
RRRRRR, MRRRRRRRRRROWWW
TOGEPI! Togepitogepitogepi! TOOOOOOGEEEEPIIIIIII
mrf mrf mrf mmh mmh mhh

Captain/Pilot: Captain Malcom 'Mal' Reynolds ("Firefly", 2002) - No-nonsense captain, capable pilot, braver than a honey badger, inspirational leader, commands loyalty from crew.
Engineer: Dr. Octopus ("Spiderman") - technological know-how and many limbs! This guy can build fusion reactors and can hold a tool with each limb, with some spare limbs to scratch a crew member's itch should they have one.
Gunner: Alex Rogan ("The Last Starfighter", 1984) - Video game kid turned galactic saviour. Will hopefully bring Death Blossom ammunition for his gun.
Auxillary: Tron ("Tron", 1982) - He knows tech, he knows trajectories. Ideal all-rounder, 'nuff said.
-
Captain: Ender Wiggin (Ender's Game) - Tactical genius who can forge a winning team out of anybody
Engineer: Kaylee (Firefly) - She can keep the old girl in the air no matter what falls off
Gunner: Hlaine 'Mad' Larkin (Gaunt's Ghosts 40k) - Noted for blind fire headshots on heavy weapon crews behind soft cover
Auxiliary: Tony Stark (Marvel Comics) - Decent shot capable of jury rigging anything into a weapon.
Good Lord, that is a damn fine crew. All you gotta do is remember, the enemy's gate is down. My only change would be from Kaylee to a Huragok, from the Halo series. These guys can fix machines on a molecular level in seconds, able to disassemble and reassemble a car within seconds, usually resulting in a much efficient remodel. Also, they can fly, so they can access areas other engies simply can't.
-
Captain: Qui Gon Ginn from Starwars episode 1
Engineer: Dave Mustane from Megadeth (he is always given the short stick, so he will work twice as hard to prove his worth)
Gunner: Anderson Cooper (he has a good eye for detail)
Aux: Michelle Obama (she could dress the crew)
-
Captain: Swedish Chef
Engineer: Chewbacca
Gunner: Togepi
Float: Kenny
Just imagine the voice chat.
Hervy Dervy Goldyfishy broom broom!

We have a winner, folks!

Hmm... choices choices.
Captain: Ahab
Engineer: Perth-Ships blacksmith and carpenter.
Gunner: Queequeg- That there be a whale's eye.
Auxiliary: Fedallah- The figure that now stood by its bows was tall and swart, with one white tooth evilly protruding from its steel-like lips. A rumpled Chinese jacket of black cotton funereally invested him, with wide black trowsers of the same dark stuff. But strangely crowning this ebonness was a glistening white pleated turban, the living hair braided and coiled round and round upon his head.
-
Captain: Jeff "Joker" Moreau (Mass Effect)
Engineer: Kaylee Frye (Firefly)
Gunner: Cameron Phillips T-900 series Terminator (Sarah Connor Chronicles)
Gungineer: Garrus Vakarian (Mass Effect)
For reasons.
-
Captain: Ender Wiggin (Ender's Game) - Tactical genius who can forge a winning team out of anybody
Engineer: Kaylee (Firefly) - She can keep the old girl in the air no matter what falls off
Gunner: Hlaine 'Mad' Larkin (Gaunt's Ghosts 40k) - Noted for blind fire headshots on heavy weapon crews behind soft cover
Auxiliary: Tony Stark (Marvel Comics) - Decent shot capable of jury rigging anything into a weapon.

Never played the Halo series, so I don't know these Huragok. Still I would rather listen to Kaylee give me a damage report.
Also imagine the kind of conversations Kaylee and Stark would have. Kaylee has more experience fixing things under duress which is why I want her for my primary engineer. Stark is better at optimizing weapons and has no qualms about using said weapons on other people (where as Kaylee does). That is why he is my gungineer.
Mad Larkin just doesn't miss and he seems to ignore cover. This is the type of guy who could shoot out the turning engines on a squid through cloud cover at 2000 meters by just examining the exhaust trail.
Ender Wiggin has the three attributes of a good captain: piloting skill, tactics, and leadership. I am not 100% sure about piloting skill but I am sure his tactics and leadership will make up for it. Also there is no character in fiction who has shown a better grasp of a 3 dimensional battle field than Ender. With the possible exception of John Geary (Lost fleet series). But John Geary entered his series with the status close to that of a living god, and spent the rest of the series dealing with people who were trying to usurp his position. Ender started his series as the kid nobody wanted, and ended up trusted with the fate of humanity and with a following of friends so loyal they would "follow him out an airlock without a suit" if he needed them to. Now that is leadership.
-
Captain: Mike, from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, via remote control (He is a computer, and he successfully projected the probability of victory in a rebellion some 5 years in advance. He could just tell the enemy "There is a 92.4 percent chance you will die horribly" and have them surrender. Also, if he dies, no problem, just remote control him to another ship.)
Engineer: von Neumann machine (A machine capable of duplicating itself and producing anything needed. Theoretically, we could use these guys to colonize planets.)
Gunner: Legolas from LotR (I don't know why)
Gungineer: Maxwell from scribblenauts. (Need a screwdriver? Got a screwdriver instantly. Need an army of rabid werewolves? Boom, there ya go. Need to go out with a bang? Meteor.)
-
Captain: Khan (Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan)
...what can I say...it's Khan.
Engineer: John Hammond (Jurassic Park)
Hey...he created Jurassic Park, he should know how to rebuild stuff
Gunner: Drago (Dragon Heart)
He's a dragon...and he has Sean Connery's good voice...maybe he can't use the guns...but who cares...he's a dragon...
Auxhillary Engineer/Gunner: Philip Asshole (Spaceballs)
He's my cousin.
