Let’s lay a few rules down for fun
-
Let’s say the positions are: First Officer, Navigation, Engineering, Security/Tactical, Science Officer, Communications, Helmsman, and Chief Medical (though not a bridge position, but let’s go with it). You’re the captain
-
We also have a Counselor and a Yeoman as “wild cards”, so their rank doesn’t matter. Choosing from duplicate ranks for those two positions is ok. If ya want Sisko asking for signatures, and Picard as First Officer, who’s stopping you? Wesley as Counselor?.. your choice I guess
-
Try not to duplicate ranks for positions. If you choose a #1 as a helmsman, you can’t have a “first officer” as your #1. Or… you can’t have all captains as bridge crew (positions can be convoluted through the series, but it’s for fun, so try to keep to the spirit of it)
-
And that’s about it for rules really, who would be your ideal crew? Your first officer, communications, science officer, engineering? … who’s exploring with you on your ship?
