Crew members/Mission support. I come to you in this post with a little concern. The build is going very well and the new work space is a dream. However, my concern is that this whole thing is actually levelling out to just a 'handful' of followers, a private little gentlemens club. The mission needs to be so much more than that to be successful. The latest videos are not performing well at all and last nights video has not brought in a single new subscriber. I'm being open and transparent with you. Yes 27K+ subs is very good, but not even close to the 250K or more that some Trek channels have. I wonder if some guy building the entire original ship in massive scale is not as interesting as I thought it would be, or believe it to be. Other channels that focus on almost nothing but 'pew, pew, pew' or the '10 things you didn't know about Trek' are so much more popular than Mr Trek. That in itself doesn't bother me at all and if a few hundred K dollars landed onto the mission I wouldn't care if there were no subs and it was just us in this relatively small group - actually I would quite like that. Let me know what you think. The views are down, not a single new sub. I've taken a big risk committing to this new big work space and I really thought it would push the project and the following to another level. This does not appear to be happening. LLAP, Mr Trek.

My director at work just told us our entire department is being eliminated next month, I'm losing my health insurance, medical bills are eating me alive, and my closest relatives have gone no-contact with each other. I love your project, Mr. Trek, but I live in the U.S., where we're losing our jobs, our families, and our minds. I've stopped doing my own art, too.

That's a dark post, I'm very sorry to hear. I wish you well and thank you for your support here!

Had another thought and don’t know if it would help, but. . . What if you opened up another level 2 Patreon to be listed as part of the crew complement on a separate roster displayed with the final model, and given a quarters location that wouldn’t be visible. Maybe given a symbol of some kind once it’s opened.
