Sad to hear as that Arkansas location managed to get quite a few films off the ground, notably Starship Valiant's, but it is truly sad as it feels like the end for the legacy of Starship Exeter...

Well it seems pieces of it will live on as part of the STC sets that are still around, with other pieces going into storage and the command module touring for photo ops.

Actually, my understanding is that part of the sets (transporter and sickbay) have been transferred to Glen Wolfe's Star Trek fan productions group. Ray Tesi wanted to take the bridge set, even paying the transportation cost, to finish out the Farragut/STC/Stage 9 bridge set, allow the command module (center seat, helm/nav console and island) to go to conventions for photo-ops, and store the rest. But the deal fell through, and the bridge set will be disposed of by the property owners of Dogpatch where they've been stored for some time now.

Given the long history of drama associated with the sets since Exeter, it's unsurprising that no agreement could be arranged between the current owners of the sets.

Damn. I really wanted them to send me the graphics for Cutty's station, which they pulled out when they replaced all the small screens.
