The geniuses who run Star Trek these days continue to impress.

Cease and desist forces impressive fan recreation of the Enterprise from Star Trek: The Next Generation to self destruct

In short: some fans made a virtual Enterprise that you could explore (and they did not do it for profit)… and CBS decided to crush them underfoot.

When I was a kid, the closest I could dare dream of something like this was to take the “booklet of general plans” or the FASA deck plans of the original Enterprise and *imagine* what it would be like to wander around the ship. Fourteen-year-old-me would have been astonished at what really-old-me would have seen… and  fourteen-year-old-me would have had his tiny little dreams crushed much earlier had he known the power of the lawyers.

UPDATE: Doomcock is a little upset by this…
