Don't you mean ''LSD''? or is that a ''ST4'' refrence?

It is the year 100000 AD, and the UINC Enterprise NSCCC 170174656 - BETA, (A ship built around a Dyson Sphere that can travel a MegaParsec a second at maximum velocity) is still boldly going where no one has gone before...

You have to change the UINC. My eyes totally read it as UNIC and I keep thinking the captain has one ball. Nothing wrong with that, many dudes do. But...I don't know..change the UNIC

I absolutely love some of the ideas floating around in this thread. They would at least make a cool one-shot TV/straight-to-DVD movie, perhaps in the style of Peter Chung's Matriculated episode from The Animatrix, only as an extremely computer-enhanced live-action movie...
What about crossovers with other established franchises?
I know that it might sound a little bit far-fetched and naive, but (seeing The Academic's avatar and remembering that Star Trek/X-Men crossover of a couple of years ago and watching Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer on DVD right now) I would like to see a crossover with the Marvel universe, particularly with Galactus or some of its other large-scale cosmic entities. I don't know what Star Trek timeframe it should be set in (any one of them would be fine), but it would also work with the 100,000 AD aspect... the cosmic entities actually being humans from the far, far future.
Okay, okay, I shut up before somebody puts me in the fanboy sin bin...
I think it works the way it is.
Also this Enterprise would have planetary sized 'shuttles' and (slipstream [at least] capable) escape pods the size of moons...
Erm, by 100000 AD we will probably be even mightier than the Q continuum was in 2360 AD, and viewers would give a shugar about omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent beings that are furthermore invisible. 
A series like that would be a massive fail - and Paramount does after all want to make money, not lose it!
Wrong, dude.
"It is the year 100000 AD and the MHAGSSYHESIYWL Enterprise (TSCIIONSBFY-99999999999999999999999999999999-Z-$%&-beta-kaled-taw), which is a ship built around six hundred and sixty six Dyson spheres and can travel a million Yottaparsecs per Yoktosecond at minimum velocity, is about to boldly go where every sentient being in existence in the entire universe has been by now."
MHAGSSYHESIYWL = Most Huge And Gigantic Star Ship You Have Ever Seen In Your Worthless Life
TSCIIONSBFY = This Ship Constructed Itself Instead Of Needing Some Buggering Fleet Yard

Just have an intra galactic war, they're so advanced they can travel to galaxies no sweat, and the fed is up against really weird aliens from andromeda who have no understanding of any human concepts whatsoever and just want to nuke everything. The Borg could have evolved into a cosmic network which intervenes every so often.
Yeah... but is it Star Trek?
Or is Star Trek what we are told it is?

I wouldn't mind reading a book set in this time frame. I'm a huge fan of Stephen Baxter's Xeelee Sequence...which has sections that take place a million years from now.
I don't think it matters if it's the year 3,000 or the year 300,000, extrapolating humanity that far into the future is an academic venture broad enough that the year and how many zeros follow it are inconsequential. There comes a point at which we've got to introduce a modern perspective on future technology into Star Trek instead of the 1960s vision we're still running with. Having a show set in the far future without doing that would be a wasted venture, and doing such a thing would in turn completely change Star Trek into something very different and allow it to explore very different themes.
I wonder, as we advance further in science and technology, are we getting better at predicting the future, or are we just as inept as we were fifty or a hundred years ago?
For Star Trek, the point is irrelevant... we're pretty much married to the general parameters of the old TV show. and that's fine with me, actually.
I think there might be more common ground than you think in this scenario.
Star Trek 100000 AD idea
I think the closest thing to a far off future we could believe would be the 29th century like we saw some technology from in the Voyager series still within the Trek universe.

Look up "the singularity" phenomenon. If we have a true technological singularity in the future, everything that happens after that will be virtually impossible to predict.
Even if it doesn't happen full blown, the increasingly rapid development of technology, the average person's access to it, and the increasing number of people and the ways they can interact with one another are going to do nothing but make it harder to predict the future except in very broad terms.
