Well since this STO has started. I was thinking that it's time to have a new ST series.
so this will be for fun everybody can put their ideas on what we want to see.
here is the guide
_The series title:
_The main Character species:
The Captain:
Number One:
The Engineer chief:
The Doctor:
The Tac/Security:
The 2 Helm crew:
The Tenforward:
anything else please add:
_The series title: Star Trek Encounter
_The main Character species:
The Captain: Should be an alien (an other species than Human we 4 series and all for captain were Human it's time to change it)
Number One: Should be a Human
The Engineer chief:
The Doctor:
The Tac/Security:
The 2 Helm crew:
The Tenforward:
anything else please add:
we gonna need a Klingon, an android, a liberated borg, a ferengi, a bajoran, a Vuclan, basicly each main spacies should be represented.
Synopsis: The series can start at the academy and we fellow a bunch of guys making the way to the top by getting promoted rank by rank just like we do in STO
With the JJ-Trek that has just come out, any Star Trek show will most likely be based on that time period again ... just with better effects and different story lines.
I just want new Trek that is set in the REAL (AKA "prime") universe. It should be set in 2460ish so that the writers can have some more freedom and won't have to **** all over established canon (as much) like they did with Enterprise. Setting it that far ahead also allows them to have more technology and to tell different stories.
Really, those are my only wishes. I don't care who the captain is or what aliens are in it. I just want REAL, new Trek, set further in the future than we have seen in the shows so far.
Unfortunately, if we ever get a new Trek show, it will probably be set in JJ's universe in which case, it will be an abomination. I feel like STO is all we have at this point
As you keep getting farther and farther into the future though you limit yourself as your technology becomes 'godlike' with time travel and transwarp etc...being unstoppable or infallible does not make good TV. My thoughts are to continue in the only time gap we have yet to cover which is after ENT before TOS. Could be ST Birth of the Federation or something along those lines. I am just not really interested in watching the Enterprise J fly around pwning nubs.
Good TV IMO has to have relatible sp? qualities that can connect with the viewer THAT above the flashy effects is what made JJ-Trek successful...it was more familiar and relate able to people instead of the typical sterile, almost cold and analytical style of Voyager.

You're demanding REAL for science FICTION, interesting

Actually Time Travel in most of Star Trek has been accidental or based on "time points" ie theres a Time Travel rift at some point in time like J.J.'s Star Trek the rift was Kirk's birthday. They've never been able to go to a specific point like in Back to the Future.
_The series title: Star Trek Andromeda
USS Andromeda NCC-91991
Emissary Class Ship
_The main Character species:
The Captain: Male Human (Gene's dream had everything to do with Human progress)
Number One: Female Romulan (Parents were defectors)
The Engineer chief: Male Half Human/ Half Q (limited powers)
The Doctor: Male Andorian
The Tac/Security: Alpha Jem'Hadar (Owes loyalty to captain)
The 2 Helm crew: Female Human
The Tenforward: Female Ferengi (despite Ferengis being damaged by DS9 writers, Ferengi women still cannot own their own businesses in Ferengi sphere of influence)
anything else please add: Series takes place in Romulan space. Romulans finally accept federation offer for peace and cooperation. Allows for exploration episodes.
But in all honest a new show would be great, I would perfer to see something using STO game footage as a basis of the show. I just hope they keep the on thing that makes Trek, Trek. Someone says something complicated and then someone else says it in a few words that everyone can understand
Example from First Contact:
Picard "A Temporal Rift!"
Riker "Time Travel"
just makes you think, if Riker knew what Picard was talking about why the hell would he repeat it?
I loved Voyager. It's my favorite. Seemed like old trek to me in the sense that they were actually finding new life and new civilizations and boldy going where no Fed had gone before. There just isn't much you can find new in the standard quandrant (alpha).
I hope they do a series after voyager, and not the epic-fail that is JJ-Trek.
This is easy mostly because I have been having this same idea rolling around me head for a while now.
Enterprise was a failure because they went too far back. It was too much Stargate and not enough Star Trek.
We are more interested in the distant future, not the futures past, so here is my concept:
Star Trek: Academy
Being in the 24th Century, we can have more fun with species. Also, focusing on the academy years, we are not stuck in a ship but always have ships we can escape into throughout the series.
MAIN CHAR: Half Human Half Trill (unjoined). Charismatic, cocky, hiding his past. Mother (Human) currently serving as Lt Cmdr on a science exploration vessel. Father (Trill) estranged. Great source of conflict.
At this point there is no assigned Number one, per se, but cadets that are friends, colleagues and even opponents to the main character.
The beginning would be simple enough Cadet Main joins Starfleet with the support and love of his mother, who has to leave on a mission from the start. He is surrounded by a love interest (human), a best friend (Andorian) and a random assortment of cast and species.
Trials and tribulations, both on Earth, on Sol Station and in space, aboard whatever training ship that goes wrong. I have several episodes plots but far too much to list here.
But heres the thing people are tired of the bright and shiny, everythings GREAT in the future Star Trek. Lets explore the darker side. Make it gritty. How Starfleet tactical as a brute marine force sent on planetside missions, etc. Add a little Alien and Starship Troopers to the mix.
Most importantly, make us interested in the characters and involved in their evolution. Make us care. Then start taking things away from the Main. His mother dies on a mission patrolling the Neutral Zone. His father, a Trill politician and powerful figure, pulls him out of Starfleet as he is the mans ONLY son the only person he can entrust the symbiont to, once he has been educated away from his human nature. Have Section 31 take an interest after the joining, when Main escapes the Trill home world and rejoins Starfleet all due to the secrets the symbiont has locked inside.
Throughout the series, as the characters age and evolve, they can even leave the Academy and begin real missions. Each going in their separate ways only to be drawn back together by some tragic event. A good 4-5 seasons right there.
What I would REALLY like them to do is to take a LOOOOONG break before they even start considering doing another Trek show. I know there's a lot of Voyager- and Enterprise-fans out there but if you ask me, the shows only got worse and worse after some point during DS9. So I'd like them to take a long break of at least several years (how about five or ten at least) and then, present us with a new Trek-show that's got likeable characters (something I missed in Voyager and Enterprise) and great stories (something that I also missed in Voyager and Enterprise).
I wouldn't mind having the show being set in the new JJ Abrams universe. I also wouldn't mind it being set in the "prime" universe. Anything goes as long as they make me care for the characters and the show is fun to watch. (And yes, I'm one of those who think the most recent Trek-movie WAS fun to watch. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to see it in cinema five times. I barely ever go see a movie in cinema twice.)

Agreed but these temporal agents etc. as shown throughout ST lore have to come from somewhere. And considering how easily predictable it is to change your deflector and be able to time travel (ST First Contact) I just don't see a bunch of technobabble being good entertainment.
However...
If STO gets a green light on its Undine War and possibly later war with the Iconians I would watch a series about that. More than anything though I think the Federation and Alpha quadrant needs some big shaking up. If they do a new series...they need to set a new story with homage and nods to the past... set it after a very destructive war with the Undine/Iconians/Borg. Essentially set it after STO when the Federation and other AQ powers are trying to rebuild.
They did a great thing by destroying Romulus...it brought some CHANGE a breath of fresh air. When you deal with the same stagnant players in the same stagnant territory with no change it gets boring.
My thoughts...
For the future...
The Undine invade and wage a devastating war against the Klingons. With their "planet buster" tech at their disposal they destroy hundreds of planets and essentially bring the Empire to their knees...until their honored foes join in (Feds) and help to balance the tide. The Romulans...still rebuilding their fragile empire...decide to abandon their worlds in favor of a mass exodus from the Alpha Quadrant to space unknown. War wages and both K and F space has been beat all to hell....but they push the Undine back into fluidic space by means of a new form of technology that was being developed since 2409 after significant research into the destruction of Romulus, Remus as well as the fall of the Iconian civilization. With trillions of Klingon and Federation lives lost...the most destructive war in the history of the Alpha Quadrant comes to a close with the complete eradication of all Undine by means of this same technology administered into a form of radiation that targets their specific physiology.
With the Romulans gone the K&F sign a permanent alliance and look to rebuilding their worlds. While technology has improved during the war quality of life for the Feds and Former Empire is low and availability of resources is depleted much like Bajor or Cardassia after the Dominion wars. Focus is made simply on trying to reunite worlds that defected from the Federation during the war as well as trying to unify the government with the addition of a new and very vocal Klingon Empire. Both factions, assured of peace now that the whole of the Alpha Quadrant stands under one flag begin to devote resources from defense to rebuilding their worlds effectively demilitarizing to the point of having a support fleet of less than 100 ships tasked with defending the entire quadrant
But the use of this newly 'rediscovered' technology has brought attention for an ancient foe...one that saw its end at the hands of this same technology the Iconians.
The series would start with the captain of one of these 100 ships tasked with holding the lines while this newest threat emerges from the shadows.
dun dun dun.....
I swear if CBS steals this I will not sue...payment will be made simply in the awesomeness of the show.
As you keep getting farther and farther into the future though you limit yourself as your technology becomes 'godlike' with time travel and transwarp etc...being unstoppable or infallible does not make good TV. My thoughts are to continue in the only time gap we have yet to cover which is after ENT before TOS. Could be ST Birth of the Federation or something along those lines. I am just not really interested in watching the Enterprise J fly around pwning nubs.
That would require only the Federation to have advanced in technology, if you have immense power and your enemy does too you can still get pwned. Look at the Voyager episode with the Q civil war. They have incredible power but were able to kill each other.
As for what I'd like to see. There's more to Star Trek than Star Fleet. How about a series based around the Klingons or Romulans with the Federation being the minor parts. Or maybe a series about the Bajoran resistance to Cardassian occupation. Or Star Trek: Gamma Quadrant, leave the Federation out altogether and set it before the discovery of the worm hole.
- Star Trek - Titan (with Riker, Troi and Wesely Crusher)
- Star Trek - Excelsior (Sulu can still do it! He was ubercool in Heroes)
- Star Trek - Starfleet Academy (think Scrubs just in Star Trek)
and a Movie with Picard, Sisko and Janeway together!
Get Sisko out of the damn Wormhole allready!

I disagree. Enterprise could have been a great series but the reason I personally dislike it is because I have to write off the vast majority of the episodes as uncanonical. By setting a series further in the future, you get a larger area to play in.
And just because the technology is greater doesn't mean you can't still get into trouble. I seriously doubt all other races would be stagnant in their technology while the Federation becomes Q-like. Your view point seems to have the pre-requisite that the Federation has become the ultimate power in the galaxy.
I would also point out that I - personally - consider the Enterprise J to be an overpowered, unrealistic, and ultimately, uncanonical ship. I don't want to see it flying around, ahem, "pwning nubs" either. I just want to see the story of Star Trek continued. Reboots and prequels are lame and overused by a Hollywood that is too dumb to think of anything else to do.
Also, when I use the word "REAL" I'm not referring to real life. I think that should have been evident by my previous post but apparently not so let me state it in as plain of terms as I possibly can: I want new Star Trek set in the prime universe, not JJ's universe.
Hmm. I've long thought into the idea of a new show.
I think setting it in the Prime Universe would be the right direction, and putting it after the events of the last movie, where Romulus is destroyed, and throw it far enough ahead of that so that its not treading too much on the game, and all of the voyager characters are gone etc. I think the show needs some really good guidance, and I would not let a trekkie (no offense to anyone here) make it. Canon would be observed and there wouldn't be any outrageous tech or aliens. In my experiences with diehard trekkies/trekkers, no one can agree and there is always too much emphasis on technology and getting deck size right, as opposed to crafting excellent stories.
What might be interesting is to explore a fleet, as opposed to just one small cast of characters. Have different captains interacting with each other, have admirals involved as more then just Guest actors.
I'd also like to see some of that movie quality ship combat. I'd leave the f'ing borg out too. I love em, possibly my favorite villains, but they're overused. I also wouldn't try something new. The Udine are dumb in my opinion. Explore the turbulent relations within Starfleet itself, maybe make it not the "empire" it has become, have it cracking from the inside. Have Humanity ready to leave the alliance or something. Some kind of catalyst for the show. I dunno, these are just some thoughts. The typical bridge officers and their interactions are just so dated now. It worked for the rest, but Enterprise sucked in my eyes. I tried to watch it, just couldnt do it.
How about a series that tries to return to the deeper questions that Star Trek pursued without the technobabble and fan-service that ruined many episodes?
The Captain: Captain Che Alexandra Roshenko - the three quarter Klingon daughter of Alexander Roshenko son of Worf.
First Officer: Commander Royce Caine - a Human Tactical expert who somewhat resents being passed over the position of Captain several times, including his assignment to the U.S.S. Legend under Captain Roshenko.
Chief Engineer: Chief Berehk Dalal - the youngest Chief Engineer and Bolian to ever graduate Starfleet Academy.
Chief Medical Officer: Lieutenant Doctor Jim Kellum - a brash small town Human doctor with a heart of gold.
Security Chief: Lieutenant Commander Janet Yiu - a Betazoid Security Chief with a strong will and an unfathomable insight into the enemy's tactics and goals.
Operations Officer: Lieutenant Junior Grade Ronald Howe - young and naive yet talented and knowledgeable Human and shy about his admiration for...
Helmsman: Ensign Geraldine Rikki - the young, sexy girl next door Human who can hold her own in a fight and can pilot a mountain sized starship through a mouse sized wormhole.
Ten Forward: Jeda Ideah - the Trill bartender and match maker extraordinaire. Jeda fancies herself the Cupid of the stars.
Synopsis: Star Trek: Legend follows the ongoing adventures of Che Alexandra and her crew in the future of the known Star Trek universe (non-J.J.). It is the telling of stories in war time and peace with her Klingon cousins and the struggle to walk the line between serving the Federation and following her ancestral path.
:cool:
I was actually going to suggest something like this but would have called it "Starfleet Academy". To get that exploration thing in there I was going to suggest they have access to and do occasional missions on a refurbished Miranda class ship: The Beverly Hills, NCC-90210.
The name and number is a joke, really, but it does describe the inevitable plot format.
The other Idea I've had is a new war era series titled something like "Star Trek: The boarder wars" that follows two ships. A federation ship and a Klingon ship. The whole series takes place along the neutral zone boarder.
As each season progresses we alternate from one ship to another occasionally culminating is some kind of skirmish between the two. As the series progress the two captains of the ships begin to sporadically communicate under various circumstances to forge a temporary alliance. The ships have a tense rivalry but in that rivalry the captains forge a respectful "friendship" that sometimes allows them to mediate resolutions between the feds and the klingers.

LOL, yeah and the opening title can be canned '90's Title track music .... or, even reuse the title theme to Magnum P.I.
How about Star Trek: Cheers!
Basically, it's set at a bar and no one goes anywhere, or does anything eventful; people come and go ..... wait wait ... that's Deep Space 9. My bad.

Very interesting. but I though the Iconian were extinct species. if they bring it back they Should bring back the T'kon empire too

in cae you didn't notice Star Trek is about Starfleet. beside the UFOP is a mixed of more species than the other faction which represent only one species.
"a Movie with Picard, Sisko and Janeway together!" now that will be awesome!!

Sounds good.
Perhaps a human liberated borg Captain eh? Would be interesting
I would like to see a continuation of after DS9 events, with the focas on alt characters and situations, like the origin of the Q or like stories about one specific one and all the stuff he does, or like those time travel federation police that pop up randomlly in every series, have like 1 officer, and focus on his life and stuff he does, ideally a new star trek show would be great, if it dint just follow one specific ship, one specific crew and how they interact with everyone, i'd like to see reoccuring vingettes, on different race, factions, politcal stuff, like studd with that borg picards crew let go, what happened to him after his few re-appearnces, or things like that. Think it might be interesting to explore the rich tapestry of star trek thats been established and dive into the semantics then have a new crew boldly exploring
Comments
Really, those are my only wishes. I don't care who the captain is or what aliens are in it. I just want REAL, new Trek, set further in the future than we have seen in the shows so far.
Unfortunately, if we ever get a new Trek show, it will probably be set in JJ's universe in which case, it will be an abomination. I feel like STO is all we have at this point
Good TV IMO has to have relatible sp? qualities that can connect with the viewer THAT above the flashy effects is what made JJ-Trek successful...it was more familiar and relate able to people instead of the typical sterile, almost cold and analytical style of Voyager.

The beginning would be simple enough Cadet Main joins Starfleet with the support and love of his mother, who has to leave on a mission from the start. He is surrounded by a love interest (human), a best friend (Andorian) and a random assortment of cast and species.
Trials and tribulations, both on Earth, on Sol Station and in space, aboard whatever training ship that goes wrong. I have several episodes plots but far too much to list here.
But heres the thing people are tired of the bright and shiny, everythings GREAT in the future Star Trek. Lets explore the darker side. Make it gritty. How Starfleet tactical as a brute marine force sent on planetside missions, etc. Add a little Alien and Starship Troopers to the mix.
Most importantly, make us interested in the characters and involved in their evolution. Make us care. Then start taking things away from the Main. His mother dies on a mission patrolling the Neutral Zone. His father, a Trill politician and powerful figure, pulls him out of Starfleet as he is the mans ONLY son the only person he can entrust the symbiont to, once he has been educated away from his human nature. Have Section 31 take an interest after the joining, when Main escapes the Trill home world and rejoins Starfleet all due to the secrets the symbiont has locked inside.
Throughout the series, as the characters age and evolve, they can even leave the Academy and begin real missions. Each going in their separate ways only to be drawn back together by some tragic event. A good 4-5 seasons right there.
Thats a series Id watch.
I wouldn't mind having the show being set in the new JJ Abrams universe. I also wouldn't mind it being set in the "prime" universe. Anything goes as long as they make me care for the characters and the show is fun to watch. (And yes, I'm one of those who think the most recent Trek-movie WAS fun to watch. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to see it in cinema five times. I barely ever go see a movie in cinema twice.)
look at STO
Most ships are assigned to a sector. Besides, I'm sure there is a lot of Romulan Space that can be explored and make the series last 7 seasons.
I think the series should be inspire from STO and going forward but not too far .
I think we should stick with Enterprise as a ship.
well I think this time it should be an Rear Admiral has we all are admiral in STO
But I like what every body are saying so far!
Keep it coming Start Trek producers are reading this lol!
Agreed but these temporal agents etc. as shown throughout ST lore have to come from somewhere. And considering how easily predictable it is to change your deflector and be able to time travel (ST First Contact) I just don't see a bunch of technobabble being good entertainment.

Essentially set it after STO when the Federation and other AQ powers are trying to rebuild.
They did a great thing by destroying Romulus...it brought some CHANGE a breath of fresh air. When you deal with the same stagnant players in the same stagnant territory with no change it gets boring.
My thoughts...
For the future...
The Undine invade and wage a devastating war against the Klingons. With their "planet buster" tech at their disposal they destroy hundreds of planets and essentially bring the Empire to their knees...until their honored foes join in (Feds) and help to balance the tide. The Romulans...still rebuilding their fragile empire...decide to abandon their worlds in favor of a mass exodus from the Alpha Quadrant to space unknown. War wages and both K and F space has been beat all to hell....but they push the Undine back into fluidic space by means of a new form of technology that was being developed since 2409 after significant research into the destruction of Romulus, Remus as well as the fall of the Iconian civilization. With trillions of Klingon and Federation lives lost...the most destructive war in the history of the Alpha Quadrant comes to a close with the complete eradication of all Undine by means of this same technology administered into a form of radiation that targets their specific physiology.
With the Romulans gone the K&F sign a permanent alliance and look to rebuilding their worlds. While technology has improved during the war quality of life for the Feds and Former Empire is low and availability of resources is depleted much like Bajor or Cardassia after the Dominion wars. Focus is made simply on trying to reunite worlds that defected from the Federation during the war as well as trying to unify the government with the addition of a new and very vocal Klingon Empire. Both factions, assured of peace now that the whole of the Alpha Quadrant stands under one flag begin to devote resources from defense to rebuilding their worlds effectively demilitarizing to the point of having a support fleet of less than 100 ships tasked with defending the entire quadrant
But the use of this newly 'rediscovered' technology has brought attention for an ancient foe...one that saw its end at the hands of this same technology the Iconians.
The series would start with the captain of one of these 100 ships tasked with holding the lines while this newest threat emerges from the shadows.
dun dun dun.....
I swear if CBS steals this I will not sue...payment will be made simply in the awesomeness of the show.

That would require only the Federation to have advanced in technology, if you have immense power and your enemy does too you can still get pwned. Look at the Voyager episode with the Q civil war. They have incredible power but were able to kill each other.
As for what I'd like to see. There's more to Star Trek than Star Fleet. How about a series based around the Klingons or Romulans with the Federation being the minor parts. Or maybe a series about the Bajoran resistance to Cardassian occupation. Or Star Trek: Gamma Quadrant, leave the Federation out altogether and set it before the discovery of the worm hole.
- Star Trek - Excelsior (Sulu can still do it! He was ubercool in Heroes)
- Star Trek - Starfleet Academy (think Scrubs just in Star Trek)
and a Movie with Picard, Sisko and Janeway together!
Get Sisko out of the damn Wormhole allready!
NO to Prequel (ENT)
NO to Reboot (ST XI)
I disagree. Enterprise could have been a great series but the reason I personally dislike it is because I have to write off the vast majority of the episodes as uncanonical. By setting a series further in the future, you get a larger area to play in.
And just because the technology is greater doesn't mean you can't still get into trouble. I seriously doubt all other races would be stagnant in their technology while the Federation becomes Q-like. Your view point seems to have the pre-requisite that the Federation has become the ultimate power in the galaxy.
I would also point out that I - personally - consider the Enterprise J to be an overpowered, unrealistic, and ultimately, uncanonical ship. I don't want to see it flying around, ahem, "pwning nubs" either. I just want to see the story of Star Trek continued. Reboots and prequels are lame and overused by a Hollywood that is too dumb to think of anything else to do.
Also, when I use the word "REAL" I'm not referring to real life. I think that should have been evident by my previous post but apparently not so let me state it in as plain of terms as I possibly can: I want new Star Trek set in the prime universe, not JJ's universe.
Make the Klingon Empire the protagonists. 'Nuff said.
I think setting it in the Prime Universe would be the right direction, and putting it after the events of the last movie, where Romulus is destroyed, and throw it far enough ahead of that so that its not treading too much on the game, and all of the voyager characters are gone etc. I think the show needs some really good guidance, and I would not let a trekkie (no offense to anyone here) make it. Canon would be observed and there wouldn't be any outrageous tech or aliens. In my experiences with diehard trekkies/trekkers, no one can agree and there is always too much emphasis on technology and getting deck size right, as opposed to crafting excellent stories.
What might be interesting is to explore a fleet, as opposed to just one small cast of characters. Have different captains interacting with each other, have admirals involved as more then just Guest actors.
I'd also like to see some of that movie quality ship combat. I'd leave the f'ing borg out too. I love em, possibly my favorite villains, but they're overused. I also wouldn't try something new. The Udine are dumb in my opinion. Explore the turbulent relations within Starfleet itself, maybe make it not the "empire" it has become, have it cracking from the inside. Have Humanity ready to leave the alliance or something. Some kind of catalyst for the show. I dunno, these are just some thoughts. The typical bridge officers and their interactions are just so dated now. It worked for the rest, but Enterprise sucked in my eyes. I tried to watch it, just couldnt do it.
The series title: Star Trek: Legend
The Captain: Captain Che Alexandra Roshenko - the three quarter Klingon daughter of Alexander Roshenko son of Worf.
First Officer: Commander Royce Caine - a Human Tactical expert who somewhat resents being passed over the position of Captain several times, including his assignment to the U.S.S. Legend under Captain Roshenko.
Chief Engineer: Chief Berehk Dalal - the youngest Chief Engineer and Bolian to ever graduate Starfleet Academy.
Chief Medical Officer: Lieutenant Doctor Jim Kellum - a brash small town Human doctor with a heart of gold.
Security Chief: Lieutenant Commander Janet Yiu - a Betazoid Security Chief with a strong will and an unfathomable insight into the enemy's tactics and goals.
Operations Officer: Lieutenant Junior Grade Ronald Howe - young and naive yet talented and knowledgeable Human and shy about his admiration for...
Helmsman: Ensign Geraldine Rikki - the young, sexy girl next door Human who can hold her own in a fight and can pilot a mountain sized starship through a mouse sized wormhole.
Ten Forward: Jeda Ideah - the Trill bartender and match maker extraordinaire. Jeda fancies herself the Cupid of the stars.
Synopsis: Star Trek: Legend follows the ongoing adventures of Che Alexandra and her crew in the future of the known Star Trek universe (non-J.J.). It is the telling of stories in war time and peace with her Klingon cousins and the struggle to walk the line between serving the Federation and following her ancestral path.
:cool:
I was actually going to suggest something like this but would have called it "Starfleet Academy". To get that exploration thing in there I was going to suggest they have access to and do occasional missions on a refurbished Miranda class ship: The Beverly Hills, NCC-90210.
The name and number is a joke, really, but it does describe the inevitable plot format.
The other Idea I've had is a new war era series titled something like "Star Trek: The boarder wars" that follows two ships. A federation ship and a Klingon ship. The whole series takes place along the neutral zone boarder.
As each season progresses we alternate from one ship to another occasionally culminating is some kind of skirmish between the two. As the series progress the two captains of the ships begin to sporadically communicate under various circumstances to forge a temporary alliance. The ships have a tense rivalry but in that rivalry the captains forge a respectful "friendship" that sometimes allows them to mediate resolutions between the feds and the klingers.
LOL, yeah and the opening title can be canned '90's Title track music .... or, even reuse the title theme to Magnum P.I.
How about Star Trek: Cheers!
Basically, it's set at a bar and no one goes anywhere, or does anything eventful; people come and go ..... wait wait ... that's Deep Space 9. My bad.
Very interesting. but I though the Iconian were extinct species. if they bring it back they Should bring back the T'kon empire too
in cae you didn't notice Star Trek is about Starfleet. beside the UFOP is a mixed of more species than the other faction which represent only one species.
"a Movie with Picard, Sisko and Janeway together!" now that will be awesome!!
another one
but the series can start at the academy and we fellow a buch of guys making the way to the top by getting promoted rank by rank just like we do in STO
Sounds good.
Perhaps a human liberated borg Captain eh? Would be interesting
I like the idea of not fellowing just one ship
