Year 2530; An Aesth sidenote - why after another 150 years would ship interiors again become items that seem to have a Rip Taylor feel about them?

Not when I could help it, no. On the other hand, I did watch "Ren and Stimpy", but it took a Google search just now to discover that "Mrs. Buttloaves" was a character therefrom. So, take that for what you will.

I would love to see a different new Star Trek CGI animated 6-part miniseries (6 hours) using motion capture/CGI but set on the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) using the set blueprints from the original Art Director Matt Jefferies to create accurate CG ship interiors. Not high end movie CGI but adequate for HD animation like a videogame HD trailer. The roles of Kirk, Spock, McCoy could be kept and sound-alike-voice actors could be used. 3-D likenesses of the actors Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley from 1960s photos could be used. Also available 6 months later on DVD/Blu-ray. The CGI visual look somewhere between Atari's new 2009 GHOSTBUSTERS", the video game trailer and 'Star wars:The Clone Wars' 2008 TV series. They could use unfinished/unused scripts from ST:TOS and the 1974 animated series using the original characters. Possibly using a cross between full CGI and a videogame physics/game engine similar to Machinima animation movies to create all the shots. They are telling science fiction stories here on a budget not making a movie. The $fees to get Shatner and Nimoy to do narration VO sessions would be astronomical compared to the animated series in 1974...or...maybe they would do it.
or instead of set during TOS or ST:II-VI how about
Captain Sulu's 3 year mission of the Excelsior?
