Why Star Trek??

[CaptSpoogy]

This might be an interesting idea for someone who is a good artist and has lots of time on their hands.

A lot of people like the Star Trek universe, but don't like to follow the storylines in the show. It would be interesting to have someone create shipsets and data files for a "Star Trek" universe before the original series (sort of like the new Trek series) and that would allow more freedom in ship designs etc...but still be Star Trek. Or you could even do the future too...

Myself, I sort of loosely based my Spoogy Universe on Star Trek - but with enough my own ideas to make a little different.

By the way, have you visited the Spoogy Information Database?

All this promotion for 80 hits. It's sad really.

Ok, there is a new Trek series in the works, but they have rejected a number of ideas so far. The current\old shows have covered SO much ground it is going to be hard to do much with the Trekverse (ie, Dominion war done, Borg done to death, Shapeshifters done, Klingon war vs Fed done.). This is my 2cents, have a show based on one of the following: An academy ship (similar to the Valiant from DS9), or the Federation breaks up and all go their seperate ways (could be fun, maybe based 50 years after breakup), StarTrek 50yrs after the Mirror Universe invades and wins, or a ship of Federation crew either trapped in the Mirror Universe or sent there to 'restore democracy and the federation' . Boy do I have too much time on my hands.
And on a seperate note, the new movie was going to be a sequel to the Insurrection storyline directed by Stewart but the lack of interest (ie, movie sucked) has killed that storyline. (too similar to Ashes of Eden by Shatner for me to really enjoy the movie.)

How about Gordon R. Dickson's Childe Cycle with the Dorsai, the Exotics, etc.

I like star trek because of the ship designs. I don't really love the show however, DS9 and TOS were great. For me, its the ships. I love their looks, designs, and such. Its really that simple. I just like the way they look, and I think its a kick in the arrss to command a fleet of 600 klingon Vor'Cha Heavy Battle Cruisers.

I personally would like them to make a all Klingon show, One that shows the klingon point of view, missions, etc.
