Janeway? Looks more like he was trying to say, "Sisko" to me...
Picard? He was awesome, but at the same time very boring. He wasn't human, he was an idealistic robot with no negative qualities.
Fanfiction! ZOMG! Read it now!

He couldn't play a flute but seemed to think he could, and he let Wesley Crusher onto his bridge. I'd say he had some pretty large faults.
I still vote Kirk, because his flaws were part of his greatest strengths.
and sorry, I have no desire to fly with a captain that has had TWO starships shot out from under him, AND crippled a third.
thinking about it that way, Janeway is the best ST captain.. all the others lost at least one ship......

Pike was a complete wuss
Kirk was the Captain of my youth and to me at least still the best of them
Sulu was a good officer and a good captain
Picard was doing his job but should have been assigned as a diplomat not a ships commander
Riker id have had placed under close arrest and replaced with Data
Data was efficient
Siskos great failing? he had Q down and didn't finish him
Janeway ???? Psychotic dog abandoning squeeky voiced borg loving child abducting mass murderer
But the best star fleet captain EVER??
James Tiberius Kirk
Zapp Brannigan
for me it's more about the characters, or may the producers influence. roddenberry went from kirk to picard (also sisko in the beginning?! duno it), according to his fiction of star trek.
berman then started with letting almost everything explode. don't get me wrong. i just watched the ds9 seasons and found it an awesome professional, good series in whole (again).
all ended up with janeway, who (if you ask me) reminded me to picard in many situations.
for me picard as a character, represents the essence of what i always thougt was roddenberrys idea of star trek.
at least i grew up next generation, so i guess i'm infuenced
You're all forgetting Solok was the best captain. He beat Sisko at his own game, baseball. Vulcan superiority forever.
Did he tho? Solok had a clear advantage in bolth his teams experiance and their physical superiority. Sisko just had his friends who only trained for a week. so while Solok may have won the game, He didn't beat Sisko.
Solok was also a biggot and Thats a trait is unbecoming of a starfleet officer.

Unbecoming of a starfleet officer? Please. Starfleet has bigots across the board.
And yes, Solok did beat Sisko at baseball. Scoreboard said so. Victory was solely in the hands of the Logicians.
He also got the Christopher Pike Medal of Valor twice. Sisko only got it once.
Advantage: Solok.
Kirk distrusted klingons, He never said humans were superior.
McCoy and Spock were friends and they bickered constantly. McCoy never said he was superior to spock.
Worf Felt romulans should never be trusted, and with good reason. He never said he was superior.
Solok flat out stated and wrote multiple papers on how vulcans were superior to humans.
And commanded a ship where he only chose vulcan crew members so this also demonstrates that he believes vulcans are superior to all other races. Indeed choosing your crew based not on their merrits but on their race is racism.
Solok's more experianced physicaly stronger team beat Siskos hastily assembled team. Most of whom had never played the game before. And yes, they did win. But it wasn't because Solok was better than Sisko. Indeed we don't know what would have happened had there been a readily available group of people on DS9 who had experiance in the game. Also as you recall both he and Sisko were ejected from the game so the contest was won without them.
Yes Solok won 2 medals to Siskos one. Solok also only ever commanded one ship where as Sisko was entrusted with an entire fleet and for long periods of time was commanding a desk. When would he have the oportunity to act heroicaly in battle? We also don't know when those medals were awarded to Solok and since vulcand live twice as long as humans we don't know the timeframe in wich he was awarded said medals. we also dont know what medals Sisko was awarded after that date.

The T'Kumbra is not the only ship to have had a crew made up entirely of vulcans. The USS Intrepid and the USS Hera both had predominantly vulcan crews. Most of the ships we see in Star Trek are crewed mostly by humans, so it stands to reason some would be staffed mostly by vulcans, or andorians, or tellarites or whatever. This does not seem to hint at bigotry or prejudice, and has appeared enough in the franchise that it is not unusual. After all, noone complains that most of Starfleet's ships are crewed mainly by humans.
It was established in the episode that Solok was attending Starfleet Academy, and was in Sisko's class. Since they were both cadets, it can be assumed that Solok's career length was the same as Sisko's, since they had graduated together -- regardless of Solok's vulcanoid lifespan.
Sisko had plenty of opportunities to act heroically in battle during the Dominion War, and he was the tip of the spear against the Dominion, along with General Martok. Sisko was the golden boy of the Dominion War, and the fact he was not recognized more often shouldn't be taken that Sisko wasn't acting heroically, but that Solok was simply going above and beyond what Sisko had done. And what Sisko has demonstrated in the Dominion War is no small feat in of itself.
If Sisko was not willing to go up against the Logicians, he could have simply declined Solok's invitation to a baseball game and cited his lack of preparation time and his lack of skilled athletes. The odds were stacked against him from the get go, and he accepted anyway out of pride and ego. Solok had manipulated Sisko by using his emotions against him, knowing how close baseball was to his heart. Sisko instead accepted and was steadfastly adamant he could beat Solok's team because their team had heart -- where the vulcans had only cold logic. Solok once again proved his superior tactics and vulcan logic.
And Sisko was proven wrong. Solok triumphed. Best captain in Star Trek? Solok.
The contest itself had little to do with either of them personaly as it wasn't a contest strictly between them ( like the wrestling match that started it.) Indeed the only kind of contest that could prove wich one is superior would be one that removed their innate advantages/disadvantages and dealt with only their capacity as individuals.(IE no physical requirement no emotional requirement.) Perhaps a test like the kobiashi maru.
And the thing with medals is most times there are dozens if not hundred of people who deserve one for one reason or another and don't recieve one. (like a superior officer didn't witness the act or your superior officer didn't think it was that great) SO in actuality it is a poor measure of some ones greatness.
As for McCoy and Spok, the things said between them were indeed insults but were not generaly derogotory.
These things are mostly irrelevant tho since the argument is wether or not Solok is a bigot and wether this is unbecoming of a starfleet officer.
To me using every opportunity you get to some how prove your superiority over a group of people you are not part of, is bigotry. even if all your efforts and examples are targeted or derived from one individual, Using them as a bench mark for an entire species is at best elitist.

Bird of Prey destroyed
NCC 1701-A Enterprise A seriously damaged
Also several Constitution Class ships crippled or destroyed by the Enterprise

or SISKO!!!
Picard.... heh good luck with that.
The main complaint against Solok is that he treated the Niners' lack of preparedness as evidence of their inherent incompetence and was in every way a sore winner. He was running on pride even more than Sisko was.
Your welcome
