Start saving your pennies guys and gals.  It would be pretty cool to be able to have a real piece of ST to hang on the mantle.

Seems like Trek is finally dead for the forseeable future. Too bad.

NAH...

What's the best way to generate fan intrest in Trek?
Sell the stuff that they want to play with to them.


I'll bet if the auction meets/exceeds projected goals, Paramont will step up production on a new movie.

Too bad they're not selling the gaming rights. It still breaks my heart that Taldren was working on Galaxies at War before it was mutated into SFC3: TNGFPSAG(The Next Generation First Person Shooter Arcade Game).  >:(

I think Activision has all the rights now to all the era's.

I could be wrong, it's been a while.

Activision has NOTHING!!!  :rwoot: :woot:

They lost it all when they sued Paramount following Trek X.  Paramount  :rules: and pulled the plug on them!

 ;D (Just having some fun with the Smileys)  ;D

Edit: That's Trek X, but you all knew that anyways  ;)

Too bad we can't get a petition going for all Trek fans to donate $10 and let the community buy the rights to all Trek games, computer and pen-and-paper. Then we could sell them to ADB for rock-bottom prices, and get some killer games, and SFB:TNG to go with it!

Imagine, TNG Hydrans fighting the Cardies- the ultimate 'line of battle' race fighting the lutimate fighter race.

So who's got the rights? I know someones making an MMO on the Next Gen universe.

That's a good question, I don't know if any ONE publisher has the rights to it at the moment, I would hope that Paramount learned something from the whole Activision debacle...

Too bad that we can't convinve them to let ADB and Atari do a Prime Directive RPG uging the Neverwinter Nights graphics engine.

Imagine, having the ability to go chasing around the galaxy as ANY RACE... and having a toolset that as enough versitility to allow players to mod their own adventure modules!
