Ftl xcom final fantasy star command star trek how to#
Like both Spock and Riker, I know how to lead, and I can step up. Yes, I’m in charge, but I’m also one of the people, united in our frustration with mandates handed down from above and our determination to do great work in spite of them. My captains don’t have that luxury. When I lean on the Riker side, I get to be more of a team leader who’s also one of the gang. When I lean on my Spock influences, I can suggest more unorthodox solutions, unfettered by diplomacy or protocol. Sure, I’m in media instead of working for Starfleet, but sometimes those decisions affect everything from content quality to people’s jobs. I get to weigh in on all the big decisions, but leave the final, sometimes agonizing, decisions to someone else. I’m not in the budget meetings and let me tell you, those are not very exciting. As second-in-command, my opinions are taken seriously, more so than others because of my high position on the team. I have the freedom to suggest my weirder ideas. I have to play diplomat. I have to be everything to everybody, and I have to hide my vulnerabilities.
When I’m the captain, I have to manage up, dealing with higher-ups who aren’t aware of what the day-to-day reality is like. However, I cannot agree with Khan (or Milton) that it is better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. However, the rest of us are not afforded the same opportunity no matter how much we yearn for it. When Riker served on the Pagh and his Klingon captain wouldn’t heed his very correct advice, he had him beamed him off the ship. Riker definitely would’ve preferred his own command to serving under Captain Jellico, just as Spock knew that a traumatized Matt Decker should not be the one giving orders. And this was a big one - the first officer gig is only as good as the captain it comes with.
