Looking back at the last twenty years, I'm amazed over and over again how far Trek has gotten. Think about it, twenty years ago:
The only Trek novels (besides novelizations of episodes and movies), were things like Spock's World and Spock Must Die!
The closest thing we had to Trek reference materials were the OLD Starfleet Technical Manual and the original Franz-Josef blueprints.
CG modelling for special effects was still in its infancy. Remember when starfields were sequins on a piece of blue fabric?
They actually thought Ferengi would make a decent continuing nemesis, without a need for Romulans?
