CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens

Yeah I saw that too. Astonishing. I guess everyone wants to have their name as an Admiral these days.
Then again, I found the differences between the two versions of the named blueprint sheet quite interesting, especially in light of the incentive to be labeled as an "Admiral" on them. For reference:
Before (first email, when the incentive was to have donor names listed as "Admirals"):
After (latest email, announcing success, where the donor Admirals appear to have gotten a demotion to Commander (Cmdr.), some people's names got dropped and new ones added and Alex's "contribution" got changed from "Design Bureau" to "Spaceframe"):
Also looks like the "Laid Down" and "Launched" dates were changed for some odd reason. That second poster really seems wonky to me, on multiple levels.

"Star Trek was attempt to say PEW-PEW! PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW!"--Gene Roddenberry, as translated by Alec Peters
For the original dates, it looked like they were going for Kelvin Timeline style Stardates that used the year, isn't 2244 when Axanar takes place?
Also a lot more text was changed other than that. It's now a 'Tactical Assault Cruiser' instead of a 'Federation Assault Cruiser', 'General Deck Plans' instead of "Deck Plans"
The entire box above that was re-written.

I am watching paw patrol with my daughter, and if they find that offensive then they are pathetic.
They probably got stardates and “normal” year dates mixed up.
Hitting the goal for the blueprints isn't that impressive. Their target was $3,000. That's only a hundred copies of the blueprints with no other premiums. At the moment, there are 117 backers, with 73 pledging the minimum just for the blueprints, 10 getting the blueprints and 4 stickers, 27 going for the blueprints, stickers, and a set of patches, and 3 people pledging at the $400 names-in-credits level. Interestingly, usually there's a limit for something like that, but there isn't one here, so it'd be possible (thought stupid on multiple levels) for dozens of people to pledge at that level, so that the cover is filled with the names of randos in teeny, tiny type.
But, anyway, my point is that 100 copies at $30 a pop of even a niche product like this isn't that many.

Funny and pathetic that they dropped they guy who ACTUALLY designed the ship.........I'm sure Sean Tourangeau wants no part now but still that takes some stones.
It's entirely by design. If/when LFIM (Alec) actually completes the project, he'll have no reason to continue his BS fundraising and thus, his source of income will dry up.
Very cart before the horse.
You know, when I re-did the deck plans I created (to make the ship 20% bigger), it took me a solid month to draft eight decks. And I had a previous set to borrow heavily from. I never kept track, but I have easily logged a couple thousand hours to draw them. If someone can do eight decks in a week, either they do something like it for their real job, are very very good, or didn't put a lot of thought into it. But I'm just an amateur, so who am I to say?
Free money to pay his bill.
Also, when people claim he hasn't made anything he can point to these small things as proof.
Never mind that it isn't why people ponied up money in the first place.
