I see the last update here was almost two years ago now. So I guess this isn't going to be completed.
None of the good things I was hoping to see happen as a result of Xtranormal dying and its IP passing onto new owners ever took place. The Axanar lawsuit also discouraged me from the idea of revisiting this fan-film project, as I eventually felt that the only way to really do it justice was to crowdfund. So I had to face reality and officially abandon the project (which I had renamed Star Trek: Earhart in preparation for a reboot).
That said, if Raul ever goes back and finishes the shuttle and the Earhart on his own and put it up for download I might pick it up again at some future time, but in the meantime I'm transitioning some of the character types that were developed here into a new original IP that doesn't have the CBS/Paramount baggage. I still help Butch out with
Star Trekz Empire whenever he asks, but he uses existing Bridge Commander models.
Thank you, Raul, for your generous time.
*EDIT* I posted this only a few days before Justin Lin and JJ intervened to stop the Axanar lawsuit. If new guidelines are issued for Trek fan-films then maybe I will get back to this some day, depending on what those terms are.
