Abrams reboot is NOT my fav trek, BUT I do like the idea of it in this game. I would rather have Abrams Reboot than more non-canon stuff....
I am looking forward to getting a T6 Constitution Abrams style, and the pulse hand phasers. It's refreshing and a great addition to our in-game family.
With the new virtual Reality Star Trek Bridge Crew game taking place in the JJ Abrams Reboot, I think it's entirely appropriate for STO to do a separate server to continue the Abrams Universe with it's own voice actors. In fact I think it's a way to keep Star Trek Online alive longer and appeal to younger newer Trek Fans who were turned on to Trek through the Abrams Reboot...
I think it would be a mistake NOT to do this. Lets see a new server with fun new game Mechanics that takes place entirely in the Kelvin Timeline. It'll be GREAT on PS4 and XBOX one as well!!!
Maybe in a few more years when there is more Kelvin Universe content, Paramount will get someone else to create a Kelvin Universe MMO. The Prime Universe has over 700 episodes, 10 movies, and a bunch of novels for STO to draw inspiration have. The Kelvin Universe has only 3 movies as of next month and not a lot else to draw inspiration from. There is not enough content for STO to do a separate server to continue the Abrams Universe with its own voice actors. STO isn't even able to support 2 factions. Just make a few missions for a new faction and make them part of the Federation.
it occurs to me.... given ALL the really amazeballs stuff in the KT box.... and the existing dev dilemma on Dominion stuff because of the Dominion box....
what are the odds really of gettin a fraction out of the KT now?

I think the devs will do whatever they feel is the most popular and is the most worthwhile for their money. If enough people want a KT faction I'm sure they'll do that at some point in some manner. By the same coin, I'm sure we'll also see some kind of Cardassian and Gamma Quadrant Expansion or content at some point. The Kelvin stuff would probably be easier for them to do, though, especially with AoY having laid the groundwork.
I'm sure they paid a reasonably small fee to license the jjverse ships and the one character for this lockbox. It would be much more expensive to license the whole thing. But I feel there are big changes coming to the relationship between cbs/paramount, so I predict starting sometime next year it will be all jjverse game from then on.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, it's all ancient history. Then - before you can blink an eye - suddenly it threatens to start all over again."
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Don't be ridiculous. STOs licence is from CBS. Even if CBS gets control over the TAR films in the same way it works with Paramount on the TOS and TNG films it won't change how STO operates. STO will be able to use far more TAR material in the game and in ways that don't include lockboxes but it will never turn into a full KT game.
STO is a Star Trek theme park why the bloody hell would it then solely focus on one itteration of it? Why is it TAR haters are incapable of basic logic?
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

My prediction stands. I'm taking about new content. They are gambling and going big on the young jj and console audience. I think they feel it's a chance to make a bigger game. Maybe it will flop maybe not we'll see.
This will not be a decision made by STO. I've been hearing that the real Trek universe might be closing permanently to new content. This will be because of a merger or new agreement between cbs and paramount. It may or may not happen. I'm not an insider. I'm merely making a personal prediction. There are a number of articles you can read to get some insight into this possibility. Do a something search. Then do a follow-up on reading comprehension, research skills, and also basic logic.

Sorry. I don't pay attention to unfounded speculation and baseless rumours. There is no evidence CBS will be ending the PR and media related to it nor that the relationship between CBS and Paramount will be changing unless it is for a joint collaboration in the new TV series.

It's pretty much this hard to keep just one timeline intact. ♪

Isn't that half of what some of us are going to spend on the Lockbox?
