mikailborg: I can't even remember what event I was attending, but I must have been taking it seriously. (orbiting)

Full power to the deflectors

Yes, of course I want a full-size replica of a Constitution-class captain's chair. It's silly, and gaudy, and it would make an awesome reading chair for my office. (Only because it wouldn't fit in front of my computer desk.)

But, uh, $2700? Now, come on. I seriously doubt it cost Matt Jeffries that much to make the first one, even in 2009 dollars. Yes, corporate greed has once again saved me from making a ridiculous decision. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get some measurements out of my old Star Fleet Technical Manual...

Aye...

Not sure you'd be able to find a used one in a few years, either.

Cool project, though!

Though, really, I personally find the canned soundFX ... distressingly cheesy.

See, what you do is put in a cell phone in there, so the comm panel really works!

Or, alternately, wire a voice synthesizer to your friends' Twitter feed, so you can pretend you're getting regular reports from belowdecks (if you ignore the actual content).

See, this is WAAY cooler than the canned effects.
