Picard's career was different than other captains.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT When Captain Jean-Luc Picard took over command of the newly commissioned USS Enterprise-D in the pilot of Star Trek: The Next Generation, he had already accomplished one thing that other Enterprise captains had not. Picard would eventually become one of Starfleet's most accomplished captains, and he is most remembered for his time commanding the Enterprise-D.
While Jean-Luc Picard's greatest claim to fame is his tenure as the Captain of the Enterprise-D, that was not his first command posting. Before he ever sat in the captain's chair on the Enterprise bridge, Picard commanded the USS Stargazer, a Constellation class starship that launched in 2326. Picard served as a bridge officer before eventually taking over command of the Stargazer when the Captain and First Officer were killed.
Although Archer, Pike, and Kirk were all experienced officers by the time they became Captain of the Enterprise, they still had to discover what kind of captains they were going to be. Picard had already been Captain of the Stargazer for 22 years before taking over command of the Enterprise-D. During his years on the Stargazer, Picard saw action during the Cardassian Wars and lost his friend and fellow officer, Jack Crusher , on an away mission.
Picard's Time On The Stargazer Made Him A Better Captain While the Enterprise-D might be the ship Picard is most remembered for, he actually commanded the Stargazer for longer. Picard likely worked through many of the problems that plague young starship captains on the Stargazer. Not only did he learn from and work with the crew of the Stargazer before he earned the big chair, but he likely also learned how to handle a number of difficult situations.
From his first moments on the Enterprise-D, Picard was an inspiring presence who radiated the type of confidence that only comes from years of experience. Even in TNG season 1, Picard handles himself well and has a clear sense of who he is and how he commands a starship. Archer, Pike, Kirk, and Picard all made great Enterprise Captains, but Picard was the only one who had the benefit of being a Captain before taking over the iconic Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
