haha that's great.... Are you Kirk, Picard, or janeway?

Are you Kirk, Picard, or janeway?
Has to be either Kirk or Picard.
Janeway was Capt. of the USS Voyager, NCC-74656, not NCC-1701
And if i'm not mistaken Kirks Enterprise was NCC-1701-A and Picards was NCC-1701-C -

Don't want to hijack this post but to clarify it is..
James Tiberius Kirk.
The ship's "NCC-1701" registry number stemmed from "NC" being one of the international aircraft registration codes assigned to the United States; the second "C" was added for differentiation.According to The Making of Star Trek, "NCC" is the Starfleet abbreviation for "Naval Construction Contract", comparable to what the U.S. Navy would call a hull number.The "1701" was chosen to avoid any possible ambiguity -

what about the NX-01 ....... Archer never gets the love ......

Some of my fondest memories are of me and my dad watching Star Trek together. Got to laugh, he loved the original episodes, but when the movies came out and they started using curse words he was really disappointed.
Sorry about the detour in this thread.

Trekkie vs. Trekker[edit]There is considerable disagreement among Star Trek fans over whether to use the term Trekkie or Trekker. Some say that Trekkie is "frequently depreciative",[53] thus, "not an acceptable term to serious fans",[54] who prefer Trekker. The distinction existed as early as May 1970, when the editor of fanzine Deck 6 wrote:
... when I start acting like a bubble-headed trekkie (rather than a sober, dignified — albeit enthusiastic — trekker).[1]:4[55]
[/quote]By 1976, media reports on Star Trek conventions acknowledged the two types of fans:[56]
One Trekkie came by and felt compelled to explain, while paying for his Mr. Spock computer image, that he was actually a Trekker (a rational fan). Whereas, he said, a Trekkie worships anything connected with Star Trek and would sell his or her mother for a pair of Spock ears.[30]
[/quote]In the 1991 TV show Star Trek: 25th Anniversary Special, Leonard Nimoy attempted to settle the issue by stating that the term "Trekker" is the preferred term. During an appearance on Saturday Night Live to promote the 2009 Star Trek film, Nimoy – seeking to assure Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, the "new" Kirk and Spock, that most fans would embrace them – initially referred to "Trekkies" before correcting himself and saying "Trekkers," emphasizing the second syllable, with a deadpan delivery throughout that left ambiguous whether this ostensible misstep and correction were indeed accidental or instead intentional and for comic effect.[57] In the documentary Trekkies, Kate Mulgrew stated that Trekkers are the ones "walking with us" while the Trekkies are the ones content to simply sit and watch Star Trek.
The issue is also shown in the film Trekkies 2, in which a Star Trek fan recounts a supposed incident during a Star Trek convention where Gene Roddenberry used the term "trekkies" to describe fans of the show, only to be corrected by a fan that stood up and yelled "Trekkers!" Gene Roddenberry responded with "No, it's 'Trekkies.' I should know — I invented the thing." -
