Will there be any new missions in STO that parallel the new Trek?

I'm in agreement that its gonna be probably a year before we even dip into Picard stuff.
There isn't a great deal on display so far, but what is on display conflicts with star trek online somewhat, so even if changes were made to accommodate STP, it could get really ugly trying to tie up the various storylines with the way things are in STP. i mean there is no way an inward looking Federation would be so open and expansive in under 10 years.
The developers are gonna have to be careful where they go from here, as well as being mindful of future discovery and picard seasons that will write off certain aspects of the STO storyline, like the undine threat, no federation-klingon war, and aside from the romulans, everything else remains calm. now how will that work out?
It seems the developers pandering to canon events might ultimately be their own undoing instead of following their own game canon events and finally to stop ignoring their own game characters in the process.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
We need Elnor in game though
1: the Qowat Milat(they'd make an awesome "second romulan rep faction")
2: the Fenris Rangers (likewise I could see them being a great rep faction)
3: Freecloud (Imagine an adventure zone that's basicly "cyberpunk meets star trek"....... dear lord I think I just drooled on my keyboard)
4: various new ships (we've seen a few new romulan ships)
5: various characters (heck replace Quinn with Admiral Clancy?)
I reaaaaaly would love to see the Qowat Milat
The Dev's said way before STP launch that this is what they would probably do.
Icheb wasn't a big presence in the game, but he's the first in game character that needs removing entirely to be in-continuity (Data doesn't count because well, it isn't stated or even obvious in mission that it's him).
But what if they killed off Seven, or at some point killed off someone like Worf or Geordie? It's really just best for them to borrow elements and weave them into the canon of this universe.
everything would be very cool and a good a addition to the game.
+ all these costumes:

Now that Star Trek: Picard does not have Data coming back from the dead and being the Captain of the Enterprise will they update the STO Story ?
They really should. Remember the episode "Parallels"? Most (key word) of those timelines were nearly (key word) identical, with only minor differences. That's the approach STO should take; an alternate timeline sticking as close to the shows as possible but not being in trouble if the show does decide to kill off a character or destroy a location that the devs would prefer not to remove from the game.

Again, being as close to canon is not pandering to canon. Also, they are not ignoring their own game characters in the process. Most of those stories have completed and some may even return.
oh? i suppose getting as many tv characters from the shows into the game as possible and using them primarily with just the usual three narrators Quinn, Jm'pok and D'tan aren't ignoring the problem? Meanwhile game characters are being deleted from the game and others are in fact being ignored.
The Dominion arc when it was first released contained a briefing between a number of game characters that haven't been seen since. Kurland, S'tasss, two others i can't remember the name of a bald cardassian and a deferi.
even characters you expect to show up; Shon, Jarok and Koren, where have they been the last few years?
Van Zyil, Obisek, Mackenzie, Drake.. how many others haven't been in the spotlight since? I'd like you prove i'm wrong in this.

If you ran into Franklin Drake more than 2-3 times in your entire career it would sort of imply he's not doing a very good job. Starship captains from different factions would be unlikely to bump into each other very often.
There's a pretty big difference between "using characters where and when appropriate" and "ignoring them".
Shon, for being the Captain of the Federation Flagship got the short shrift and was probably sent out on a deep space mission to find Self-sealing Stem Bolts.
We last interacted with Shon, Jarok, and Koren in the final mission of the Iconian War Arc, 'Midnight'. They were non interactable NPCs in a couple of Future Proof missions.
The others, have gone to ground.

The voice actor for Kurland was/is non-SAG. Unless he ever tries to get into acting and join the Screen Actors Guild, he is not going to come back due to those rules, at least the VA shows up in the new TFO To Hell With Honor. Also, the Cardassian (Rugan Skyl, now Elim Garak) and the Deferi have new voice actors now. Do not know if the previous voice actors were SAG or not. Obisek appears in the new episode Measure of Morality Part 1. So no, they are not being ignored and some have already had their storyline completed. Of course some have died as well or made a new life decision for themselves.
Wasn't he one of the devs?

At least Quark's bar being franchised is now canon and hopefully got his moon so at least STO can keep that

Cryptic's issue with some of these characters is that they were originally voiced by non-SAG/AFTRA actors. When Cryptic got Michael Dorn to reprise Worf they HAD to become a 100% Union shop - meaning the non-union actors had to join, or Cryptic couldn't bring them back to voice new content. The majority of them didn't.

So is Shon. But I think they recycled dialog from earlier missions.
