Pairing him as captain with Cadet McCoy, who will increase Increases the effectiveness of the Captain Maneuver, in addition to the synergy bonus will be very effective. Adding Cadet Uhura to the mix will give you max synergy, and increase the shield health of your ship.

You can also throw in Instructor Spock to increase the ship’s Increases the Shield Deflection, Armor, and Dodge. You’ll sacrifice a little synergy – but you should make up for it in defense. This will help your ship survive longer in battle, and get more chances to attack.

Officer Ability
