since Star Trek Picard is on in 2 weeks was wandering if some of the story arcs in sto will be getting some kind of a reboot or remake. That it will almost be based on the show. I've been herein that the Romulan faction story arc is getting a remake

Depends on whether STO will have access to Picard content.
oh ok
They've said they may or may not change things, but in any case, STO can be based as an 'alternate' timeline if such thing in canon would force a dramatic change in-game. The Dev's are not entirely locked to canon.
Possibly something to do with the mycelial network and J’ula. I also found it a little odd they revisited the Kelvin timeline with no new on screen stuff there for a while now.
So, maybe concluding J’ulas storyline somehow transplants all of STO into the 25th C in the KT. Would allow STO and Picard to exist simultaneously, but due to timey wimey mushroomy stuff could still allow Picard items into game.
Just my own personal theory, would be pretty contrived, but it would mean STO doesn’t have to retcon itself if/when Picard contradicts any of the backstory
Couldnt help myself
They've said they will tweak some stuff (mostly in teh fictinal "Path to 2409" text stories) if needed; but if STP takes things to far afield from the finctinal stuff they came up with...welcome to the alternate Trek reality that is STO.

Primarily the stuff with the mass-produced Data's apparently rebelling against the Federation, kinda makes me concerned what the new show is going to do to the Federation.
> I disagree with that assessment. Discovery is Prime and is canon, Kelvin Timeline is Kelvin Timeline, Picard is part of the Prime timeline after VOY, etc. As for differences of technologies, Star Trek: The Original Series came out in the 60s with a shoestring budget as opposed to the next iterations of Star Trek. Which can explain the supposed size discrepancies due to budgetary restrictions in TOS. Now as for the story arc as it is now I have no problem with it just wish the Available missions tab was cleaned up and the missions organized chronologically in that tab like they are in the Episodes tab including with their art that was present in that tab.
I full support everything in this post.
And yet here I am.

CBS doesn't seem to be interested in doing that either. Star Trek has always had some inconsistencies, and obviously people can look past set dressing differences between say TOS and TNG. At some point though, the level of inconsistency and bad writing becomes a serious problem and ends up degrading your IP to the point where it means nothing.
Look at Star Wars, one of the most powerful franchises up till recently, done in by awful writing and gross inconsistencies with the established canon.
CBS isn't interested in gatekeeping because they are the IP holders. As long as they hold the IP, it is their right to say that whatever they want to be canon, is canon. So, if they say Discovery is canon, it is canon. Picard will be canon. The Kelvin Timeline movies are canon with respect that they can be their own separate universe.
No one disputes that. If CBS wants to have space orks and unprofessional sobbing, they can, and if their lack of gatekeeping devalues the IP, that is also their problem.

As for the other stuff--that 25% difference is the difference.
Peace.
It is likely. Since the series continues on the other ones that are taken for granted in STO (and even the first Kelvin movie) I'm thinking that 'Picard' will be too big to ignore.
Then again, only really significant events are likely to play a role. Like the death of, say, Seven. That would pose serious problems. Or if another planet gets destroyed.
Besides such dramatic events, even serious things can safely be ignored or easily corrected for since there's still almost a decade between Picard and STO.
The things that happened after Nemesis and before the year in which Picard is set, are mostly only described in tekst and lore and could easily be changed without significant consequences for the game itself. If necessary, they could switch out Donatra for example if 'Picard' decides that she's still around as a regular Romulan.
Things that happen in STO in years after 'Picard' are, as said, unlikely to be changed much unless they are very, very dramatic things.
I'm guessing that the most extensive remake will be the inclusion into the game of whoever is doing voice overs. Like they did with LaForge and Nog who are now also present in content that was already existing before the content that was specifically designed for their characters was made.
Yeah, but were PAST the 18 year Berman & Braga era where such bad repetative writing was a thing in the Star trek Franchise.

I agree George Lucas' prequel series with Jar-Jar Binks stunk up the works something awful.
