In STO he gets to be the Chief Engineer of the Enterprise, so that’s something. Probably because he can literally fix anything with duct tape and paper clips. The dude literally kept up hodgepodge patchwork obsolete Cardassian/Federation space station humming along nicely during a fucking war. To the point where when he was on vacation everything fell apart, and he was necessary to go with the scavenging team to get spare parts from a Cardassian derelict station. Everybody says Scotty is a genius engineer, but this motherfucker is as good or better.
