    Stargazer

    This could start with the incident when Picard took command (similar to the DS9 begining with wolf 359) and then continue during Federation-Cardassian war.

    The problem with this is that any actor playing Picard would have very large shoes to fill.

    Nah, It'd be better to have NEW chars... reusing old chars gets old fast.

    After what happened with ENT, a new show would definitely not be set in a past era. It would be after the TNG movies, and it's very doubtful that it would have any tie-ins whatsoever with STO. Any new producers will not want to have creative limits or be bogged down by material that is not considered hard canon. This would be similar to what happened with SW episodes I-III, which basically trashed a lot of expanded universe content that had been previously published in novels and comic books.

    I'd like to toss a lot of the books into the recycler, and have a series with a Starfleet vessel exploring the Gamma Quadrant following the end of the Dominion War. If all the Founders have retreated to the Great Link, what's going on with the Vorta and Jem'Hadar? And what else is lurking out there, that kept the Jem'Hadar such a finely-honed fighting force? Finding the answers to these and other questions is the mission of the crew of the USS Meriwether Lewis...

    (Remember, novels, no matter how good, aren't canon until they're filmed. Same for this game. Unless it's on TV or in a movie, it's fair game.)

    The reason I want to put it in the Gamma Quadrant is because I want to go back to the days of TOS, when a message to Starfleet Command could take a week or more and captains had to handle things on their own a lot. Starting with TNG, even the frontiers of the Federation could have instant realtime chats with Earth or Vulcan; where's the adventure in that?

    yeah like with the Romulans and Star Fleet getting the message to the Enterprise after Kirk took care of business. That's how legends are born, taking care of stuff before your boss tells you to.

    #1 I want to add, if a new show gets made, maybe the best place for it is online streaming. Have a company like Netflix or Hulu Plus pick it up, and you watch it there,

    That being said....


    What time period should a new show cover im your mind?

    After the events of Undiscovered Country?

    The Romulan Wars?

    After Nemesis?

    How about in the new timeline, but im TNG era?

    What are yout thoughts on this topic?

    BTW Netflix has new 1st run shows they provide, just look at the following link:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_original_programs_distributed_by_Netflix

    Even DreamWorks is going to Produce Multiple Shows for Netflix:

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323836504578551152066280698.html


    So the idea of them having a NEW star trek show made from them, isn't out of the question, and I say why not.

    Why would they give trekkies a new show when those same trekkies so mercilessly butchered the last attempt at doing something with the prime universe?

    After Picard and crew and either based at Star Fleet Academy or a wing of Fighter pilots

    Question:What time period should a new show cover im your mind?

    Answer: Definitely, without a doubt, the new series should take place directly after the Time-line of the Voyager series.

    Question:How about in the new timeline, but im TNG era?

    Answer: If you mean, should it take place in the new era that's been created in the latest sto films, the answer is NO, Definitely NOT. The reason why? is cause it shows lack of intelligence and no effort behind the so called "writers", as they just took idea's from the original series, to make a quick 'buck', instead of writing new material.

    Question:What are you thoughts on this topic?

    Answer: Basically, I luv the idea of a new star-trek series. Yet ONLY if it Continues from the Voyager Time-line, so that we're not going backwards!!!! In my opinion, it's not interesting if we don't see what Happens , ongoing, continuously . I would only follow a series that goes forward in time, Not backwards. It's just not interesting to me otherwise, because you have then seen THAT story-lines future, by seeing the shows that's already been out.

    Create a new star trek that is all about the heart of it, which is , a new enterprise, exploring the galaxy for new life forms and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before...

    could even call it "star trek- explorations" or "star trek - beyond" or "star trek- new generations"

    I'm sure there's alot of better titles to be thought of, but you get the idea.


    Question: So the idea of them having a NEW star trek show made from them, isn't out of the question, and I say why not.

    Answer: That's fine, as long as they put it on tv. otherwise they'll be losing alot of potential viewers, for alot of the Older generation folk, don't bother with computers, and will only watch what's on t.v. So being star-trek fans, they won't know about the show Unless it's on t.v., especially one of those free type channels.

    Anyhow, yeppers, if they want a successfull tv show, they must do all that.

    You realise that would effectively wipe this game out of existence, right?

    You also realise that that is a reset button, which many hate VOY: "Year of Hell" for doing?

    It kills jjTrek, which is the best thing Star Trek can do.

    No jjTrek, no stupid Romulan Republic.
    Leave nerfing to the professionals.

    I have to disagree. I find the idea of exploring the long term effects on the timeline to be very compelling.... What if in the new timeline Tasha didn't die? What if it was Worf?

    I have always considered Star Trek broken into 5 different universes since STO and JJ universe. The Prime universe which involves the TV series and movies in the original universe, the Novel universe, the STO universe, the Mirror Universe, and the JJ universe.

    I want a story that explains that the Temporal office of investiagtions stops the Narada + Jellyfish from going back in time, stops Hobos supernova with Red matter, and everything is good again.
    Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.

    I hope STO get's better ...

    You want TI to alter the past? In blatant violation of the Temporal Prime Directive? After all, it's not like the Hobus incident was the result of someone else meddling with the timeline...

    A new Star Trek series time setting?

    IMO, in 2 possible areas:

    1. The "TMP" timeframe. You can still play with classic Star Trek ships but have a "modern" look than the TOS era.

    2. If not that, then in a timeframe far after the TNG/DS9/VOY timeframe. Say 100 or so years after the Dominion War. Far enough along that we are not playing with retired, elderly characters from the past series. Far enough along that there can be a very different setting from what we last saw in Nemesis. In short, less entanglements and more freedom of play.

    Based on previous series', the next most likely setting (if based on a 'future era') will revolve around the Temporal Cold War, which I think could be interesting but I also think it will fall on its face if it's done before another decade has passed.

    Either way, I think the old-style episodic type series are done now since there really isn't many new story types to tell. That type of series would have to be done when there is a serious improvement in the quality of TV technology like between TOS and TNG so that the same story types seem revitalised. I see larger story-arcs being the only way of doing something now

    I think a Star Trek series like that would be interesting using this new 'interactive TV' that is getting bantered about but hasn't really done anything of significance yet.
