A friend of mine told me something, I never considered. If CBS does it right. The next Star Trek series could fall in line with STO and take place around the same time or afterwards. IF done right. CBS and Cryptic could use this to their advantage and move STO's timeline forward to take place in the new Star Trek 2017 show, assuming it's set in the future... What are your thoughts ?

if it does, then it got nothing to do with STO, as STO is set in the Roddenberry-Universe.

It would not be a surprise, however, if some of STO's story were actually used as sort of a precursor to the new series.

Your asking STO to fast forward itself so it can be in line with the show. That's even assuming that the past is similar to STO which it wouldn't be at all, so everything would have to change in its content to even come close to working.
It's not even feasible but as admrenlarreck pointed out, as I'm aware it's in JJ-verse.
Best way to look at this is that, STO, other Star Trek games, books, comics, shows & movies, are on their own little island that was built on the foundation of Star Trek. They are similar but they do not build off of one another.
Same as your friend claiming that it could fall in line with STO and take place around the same time or afterwards. Only difference is that the JJ's verse rumor has much more reliable sources than your friend does.
Either way, my points still stand.
My friend never claimed that. He said. wouldn't it be awesome if.... and then told me his idea. And I said omg. I never thought of it. But if CBS is smart they already have.

Since they want to charge a price just to watch the series. That already killed me from watching it. I refuse to pay extra for a show when I'm already paying for access on TV shows through my cable provider.

CBS Television Studios announced today it will launch a totally new Star Trek television series in January 2017. The new series will blast off with a special preview broadcast on the CBS Television Network. The premiere episode and all subsequent first-run episodes will then be available exclusively in the United States on CBS All Access, the Network’s digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service.
The next chapter of the Star Trek franchise will also be distributed concurrently for television and multiple platforms around the world by CBS Studios International.
The new program will be the first original series developed specifically for U.S. audiences for CBS All Access, a cross-platform streaming service that brings viewers thousands of episodes from CBS’s current and past seasons on demand, plus the ability to stream their local CBS Television station live for $5.99 per month. CBS All Access already offers every episode of all previous Star Trek television series.
The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.
Alex Kurtzman will serve as executive producer for the new Star Trek TV series. Kurtzman co-wrote and produced the blockbuster films Star Trek (2009) with Roberto Orci, and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) with Orci and Damon Lindelof. Both films were produced and directed by J.J. Abrams.
The new series will be produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout. Kurtzman and Heather Kadin will serve as executive producers. Kurtzman is also an executive producer for the hit CBS television series Scorpion and Limitless, along with Kadin and Orci, and for Hawaii Five-0 with Orci.
Star Trek, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2016, is one of the most successful entertainment franchises of all time. The original Star Trek spawned a dozen feature films and five successful television series. Almost half a century later, the Star Trek television series are licensed on a variety of different platforms in more than 190 countries, and the franchise still generates more than a billion social media impressions every month.
Born from the mind of Gene Roddenberry, the original Star Trek series debuted on Sept. 8, 1966 and aired for three seasons – a short run that belied the influence it would have for generations. The series also broke new ground in storytelling and cultural mores, providing a progressive look at topics including race relations, global politics and the environment.
“There is no better time to give Star Trek fans a new series than on the heels of the original show’s 50th anniversary celebration,” said David Stapf, President, CBS Television Studios. “Everyone here has great respect for this storied franchise, and we’re excited to launch its next television chapter in the creative mind and skilled hands of Alex Kurtzman, someone who knows this world and its audience intimately.”
“This new series will premiere to the national CBS audience, then boldly go where no first-run Star Trek series has gone before – directly to its millions of fans through CBS All Access,” said Marc DeBevoise, Executive Vice President/General Manager – CBS Digital Media. “We’ve experienced terrific growth for CBS All Access, expanding the service across affiliates and devices in a very short time. We now have an incredible opportunity to accelerate this growth with the iconic Star Trek, and its devoted and passionate fan base, as our first original series.”
“Every day, an episode of the Star Trek franchise is seen in almost every country in the world,” said Armando Nuñez, President and CEO, CBS Global Distribution Group. “We can’t wait to introduce Star Trek's next voyage on television to its vast global fan base.”
CBS All Access offers its customers more than 7,500 episodes from the current television season, previous seasons and classic shows on demand nationwide, as well as the ability to stream local CBS stations live in more than 110 markets. Subscribers can use the service online and across devices via CBS.com, the CBS App for iOS, Android and Windows 10, as well as on connected devices such as Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Roku players and Roku TV, with more connected devices to come.
The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016.

This makes no sense since in STO new story episodes are free to play and Cryptic/PWE has given us a pile of free ships this year.
Are you confusing STO with SWTOR where they charged $20 for expansions even for subscribers?
It is assumed because the production team worked with bad robot. I think I read a new ship and new crew. Hopefully it will be in the ent b/c timeframe, or even tng, but a different ship. Maybe something like Peter David's final frontier
It's not the same production company/team. Bad Robot did the reboot movies. Kurtzman's new company Secret Hideout is producing this with CBS.

I mean, they did host that one official Design the Next Enterprise, and own the rights to that design in its entirety. So it wouldn't be unusual if we got a large Enterprise this time around (still smaller than the fugly J, but much larger than a Galaxy or Sovereign).

So, they're producers on current vacuous, formulaic, flashy, brainless television shows. That doesn't sound very good. At all.
It might not be JJverse, but it'll be written for the lovers of flashy and brainless, so JJverse-style. They said nothing about being true to the spirit of the *previous series*.
It was a corporate announcement of a new revenue generator; for shareholders and potential shareholders.
LOL, no it doesn't. They gave out free "lightsaber" swords and bat'leths when TOR launched. They do that kind of thing because the devs are nerds(not a diss, so I am I) and like to have fun.

that's my prediction.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
If the new series in set in the JJ-verse, then we definitely won't see anything from it in STO. However, if it is set in the "prime" universe, Cryptic will almost definitely want to be able to sell whatever new types of ships appear on the show(whether it actually makes sense or not is a completely different issue, and we already have tons of ships that make no sense). The only question is whether CBS would allow it, but in the end, if it makes them money they probably would.
