I think Janeway would make for a scarier enemy. Sisko tends to mostly follow the rules, so if I offer unconditional surrender, I'd probably survive. But with Janeway it's a coin flip.

Remember that time sisko poisoned an entire planet because he was really mad at one guy?

In fairness to Sisko in that situation, Eddington did go out of his way to personally piss off Sisko. That's not usually a winning strategy.

"To be fair to Sisko, Eddington should have known what an unhinged maniac he is before daring to fight fascism anywhere near him"

Isn't Eddington in the maquis?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, and the Maquis did nothing wrong ever

Except be reactionary and libertarian coded

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bad take all they do is fight fascism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Right or wrong, they are kind of reactionary and libertarian coded. Do you not think so?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, they're antifascist guerilla coded because they're antifascist guerillas named for a historical group of antifascist guerillas. Starfleet trying to stop them is one of its more liberal moves.

I had an account with maquis in the name and I caught nothing but shit about it for years for it being reactionary and libertarian coded, including from people on this website.

The first time we meet the people who would go on to become the Maquis they were a Native American tribe who had been displaced again and again for hundreds of years and had finally found a new planet to call home, then Starfleet rolled up and told them their new home had been ceded to the space fascists in a treaty they had no voice in and they had to be displaced again. They refused to be moved and so Starfleet left them and their planet to the space fascists.

Your chances against Janeway depend on which writer is writing her that episode.

You could always feign having a derelict vessel (not hard with a Pakled chief engineer) and use that as a ruse in which you request aid from Sisko's vessel. He's enough of a goody-two-shoes to go along with it, although he's probably not going to take the bait as badly as Picard would. His away team has an "accident" involving an EPS conduit that has been rigged by your mumbling engineering genius first officer, and the injuries are treated by an emergency medical hologram whose grasp of medicine pretty much starts and stops with replicated leeches. You could probably take out one or two senior staff that way before they realize what's happening, provided you can get Morn to shut up while he's establishing the initial hail.

If Deanna Troi is your helm officer, you also have like +300% bonus damage on kamikaze maneuvers, so that's one to keep in the back pocket.

Sisko is my captain. Fuck Picard.
