Okay yes that would be rad.

The San Francisco campus - or at least a large portion of it - is actually the USS Athena, a fully-functional starship that can land on Earth, but also go on mission when needed to provide some hands-on training (and, I assume, help a Starfleet that's still spread fairly thin). They talked a little bit more about it here.

As far as I'm aware, Federation HQ remains a giant ship/space station.

I doubt they're "done" with any particular demo, but they've been pretty up-front about being concerned about an aging/dying fanbase, and wanting to make some stuff for younger people.

But I do think that they've been pretty good at giving each series its own time and vibe, so hopefully something down the road will appeal to you if this doesn't.

January 15 for SFA!

NP - I'm trying to hunt these things down as quickly as I can!

I think Kurtzman's mic skills have improved - at the very least, he's well-prepared.

I'm just grateful that NYCC does livestreams...

Ah okay, I was afraid you had something more insidious in mind that I hadn't thought of.

I guess I feel like the "rule of threes" is more pleasing to the ears and eyes, and "Star Fleet" has certainly been two words from time to time over the years.

But really, as long as no one's being a troll about it, I think it's all good.

There's some fun to be had in here - one of the "Distinguished Heroes" is Chwolkk, Class of 2376 - a Horta who served aboard the Titan in the novels.

Not sure I’m entirely comfortable with SFA as the acronym for Starfleet Academy.

Oh? Is there something I'm not thinking of?
