Worst Captain and some Jeffrey Combs love

In rewatching Enterprise I noticed T'pol is often captain of the ship. Not only is she left in charge a lot, sometimes she is the outright Captain while Archer is presumed dead, out with the xindi, etc. I also noticed that T'pol is a HORRIBLE Captain.
Also think it would be AWESOME to get Jeffrey Combs as a voice in the game. Talk about an incredible actor.

I want to see him voice a smooth-talking Romulan with a penchant for subtly hitting on the player.

I don't know about hitting on the player, but he HAS played a Romulan before.
I present... COMMANDER SULDOK from Star Trek Elite Force II!

Janeway is the worst, she is a psychopath, she isnt happy until she kills someone on the job and ruins someone elses day. shes a thug in uniform and a delusional one at that.
as for combs, he was cast for commander Riker before TNG started but ultimately Frakes was chosen for the role. but yes, he had his moments with various characters.
since Combs has not been a major character on star trek, i think there is a good chance to get him and Andy J. on the show, if there is some travelling back in time, perhaps even Alaimo and Briggs. there is plenty of room to work from.

Brunt... FCA...
I wouldn't mind seeing Jeffrey Combs in STO, even as a new character. Unfortunately, Cryptic seems to have this policy of only allowing actors from the shows/films to reprise their former characters (with exceptions like Zachary Quinto as the vulcan holodoc in the tutorial), since I do believe Wil Wheaton said he would be interested in voicework for STO as long as he didn't have to reprise the role of Wesley Crusher.
Which, of course, was outright rejected because who cares about having premium voice talent in your game as long as you can dredge up some actor's horrendous childhood experiences so you can say "Hey, remember this character from Star Trek, well we got them back!"
Whether it's Weyoun or Shran, I wouldn't mind seeing him make a return to STO. Whether it's a clone, a time-displaced counterpart, android, sentient hologram, or whatever. I'd be pleased regardless.
Not sure why you would say that, but it is incorrect, from the man himself:

Me too.
Jeffrey Combs made Enterprise, as Shran. Getting him in game, as any character, would be a boon to STO.
Besides, Combs played so many characters in DS9 ,having him voice an unrelated character in STO, wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination...
Weird thing I find is the the UK's financial services watchdog is now called the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). I work with banks a lot and every time I hear about an FCA inquiry that quote, and grin, runs through my head. I get odd looks for smiling at that name now...
As for the worst Captain, JJ Kirk.
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
That's a level of horrible decision-making only Janeway could achieve.
I don't think that's his fault. I mean sure, he probably got marked for the rest of his Starfleet Career as the guy who got James Kirk killed on a shakedown cruise around the Solar System.
It's Starfleet's fault for not having capable ships near the Solar System... I can't swing a sehlat without hitting somebody's ship in orbit of Earth. I also can't blame Captain Harriman for being reluctant about rushing to the rescue in a ship that wasn't prepared. If you don't have the equipment or technical skills to make a rescue, you just don't do it.
Kirk could have easily caused the Enterprise-B to blow up along with all the El-Aurian refugees, but since he died, Harriman is the one who gets caught with the blame.
i thought i remember seeing a blog a while back about reducing the avalible voice talent to those who were apart of the los angeles actors guild. in effect anyone who is apart of that actors guild would qualify, outside that, there is not a lot cryptic can do about it.
you also have to understand that harriman was also reluctant to send in his ship and risk his crew within such a dangerous anomaly.
he was not ready to be put in the seat when it came to do, he learned some hard lessons that day and i doubt anyone would blame harriman for what happened with kirk, it was a very difficult position he was in, but even so when it came to the crunch, he failed to shine under real pressure, more like he froze up like a rabbit to a bright light. if the new trek series shows what happened to harriman even if it was a few lines spoken between characters.

l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Hey, man. In the JJ-verse a later dog owned by Archer also got Scotty marooned. Any dog owned by Archer is important.
it was something along those lines, it was a long time ago i do remember it was a guild but not alot more than that, besides you seem to know what i meant anyway so thats that. and i do not know if coombs is a member of the guild or not, a current list of actors and actresses would be nice to have.

The next game update is all about time travel, so Jeff could easily voice Weyoun or Shran.
A ninth clone of Weyoun appears in the final book of the Deep Space Nine: Mission Gamma relaunch series. Like Weyoun 4, he is the commander of a Jem'Hadar attack ship, created from the genetic profile left behind in the Gamma Quadrant. Exactly when this clone was activated is not revealed, though it is assumed he was created after the end of the Dominion War. He later becomes Odo's chief aide whenever he is separated from the Great Link.
Weyoun 9 also reappears in Olympus Descending, the Dominion entry in the Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series. There, it is revealed that Odo specifically reactivated Weyoun so that he would have a familiar face to interact with in the Dominion, and that he is attempting to train the new clone to think for himself rather than blindly follow orders. Weyoun 9 also continues to collect meaningless trinkets in his quarters, just as Weyoun 5 did. Weyoun later appears in the Star Trek: Typhon Pact novel Raise the Dawn, too.
Same dog. Porthos is now immortal thanks to Phlox.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

I just loved how she never said anything useful during the battle of Azati prime
Though that may just have been a bad moment for her, and she was suffering from drug addiction at the time. In most other episodes, she was the only one who actually behaved like a true Starfleet officer. Instead of a passenger on a cruise ship.
