Primeiro, os comandos ACTUAL:
-
2366: Promoção temporária de campo para o capitão do Adm. Hanson durante a crise de Borg
-
Em 2379, Riker decidiu aceitar a promoção ao capitão do USS Titan. O Titã foi enviado para a Zona Neutra Romulana para servir como o navio de comando de uma força-tarefa diplomática. ("Star Trek Nemesis")
-
[NOTA: Este marcador é da gama de memória de nível de fanfic , por isso não faz parte de nenhum canon ou informação oficial] Em 2385, Riker aceitou uma promoção ao posto de contra-almirante (grau inferior) e relutantemente entregou o comando do USS Titan ao seu executivo, comandante Christine Vale , assumindo o comando do novo USS Paladin de Batalha Naval Pesada da classe Yamato e da Força-Tarefa Paladino apesar de não querer deixar o Titã ainda.
Em seguida, as ofertas de comando (de link )
Riker was offered several commands during his tenure aboard the Enterprise. Including:
- the aforementioned USS Drake,
he was offered the USS Aries in 2365
The Aries command was offered to Riker because of his exceptional abilities as a scientist. He turned down the Aries posting because he felt he was not yet ready to leave the Enterprise and the distinction that the first officer post held. (TNG: "The Icarus Factor")
the USS Melbourne in 2366. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds")
Starfleet put a great amount of pressure on Riker to accept command of the Melbourne. Many admirals and even Captain Picard felt that he had remained too long on board the Enterprise and should have accepted a command by that point in his career, lest it seem like he was standing still in a sea of upstart officers like Shelby. Even Riker questioned why he remained as Enterprise first officer, and was unable to understand what kept him from leaving. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds")
"She's a fine ship, Will." "Yes, but she's not the Enterprise." Picard and Riker (about the Melbourne)
Q said in Voyager:"Death Wish" that he "was betting Riker" would have taken command of the USS Voyager, which may mean he was also offered command of that ship before Captain Janeway.
RESUMO : pelo menos 3 e possivelmente quatro recusaram as promoções
