Will Cryptic tell stories too when the new TV serie launch in 2017 or visa versa ?
Will they respond if there will be an new enemy pops up ??
What do you think as a player ?

So, who knows what may be in the works at this time...
I love how you coincidentally mention this in the past tense, as befitting for something that died.
This should be avoided at all costs in the future. I predict it was someone who no longer has employment that came up with that concept in the first place.
Trek is classically episodic, but episodic shows don't work very well anymore. I think it should have an A plot and B plot. A plot is "problem of the week", B plot is a greater thing that is always going on in the background, some mystery this ship and crew are on a mission to solve.
Think of how the first 4-5 seasons of Burn Notice were structured, and I think that's a good model for a new Trek show.
Also one of the benefits of canonizing STO is that STO already has a lot of high quality models of numerous new ships that would look damned beautiful on the screen.
Under no circumstances should they try to turn Star Trek into a mindless action fest like "Renegades" which is the most un-Trek Trek I've ever seen.
We don't need commandos and mindless explosions, we need it to feel like Trek again. It should be about exploration and solving the mysteries of the universe (and the human heart).
It's pretty much this hard to keep just one timeline intact. ♪
Cryptic and WotC with the Neverwinter game... the recent Mods have been coinciding with D&D book releases.
Abrams Star Trek movies... I forget the name of the game, but it was intended as a link (lore-wise) between the first 2 movies.
K'ymara, Orion Engineer. Caedera of Borg, Liberated Borg Tactical, Elyza Vix, Joined Trill Scientist. Christina Bellona, Augmented Human Tactical.
T'Lana, Vulcan Scientist. Arbol, Martian Tactical. Ayzer Bryn, Joined Trill Engineer. Hawke, Betazoid Scientist. Karna Valkras, Klingon Engineer. Beth Parker, Human Tactical
Sarel, Romulan Engineer (Federation). Yazuri, Reman Scientist (KDF)
Come on Marty! We've got to send you BACK... TO THE FUTURE!
Even that is a step up from where we are atm... with the exception of Midnight the writing around here has been a special kind of garbage. Considering how the Klingons and Romulans got handled by Cryptic.. the LAST thing I want to see is more of this in a canon environment.
actually I think the one thing we got sorta-confirmed was that it was NOT in JJverse
The JJ Verse=Paramount
Pretty sure the new show will not be in the JJ Verse, they are run by 2 different studios. It'd be cool if there was a crossover between the game and the show, though. That would require CBS communicating with Cryptic what is involved in the storyline, and the last bit I read, CBS is playing it pretty close to the vest...
Yes, because CBS is adverse to cross promotion and would never partner/cross-promote any aspect of the JJ Abrams films (like including the Hobus Supernova and destruction of Romulus storyline from the ST09 film by Paramount into an online game licensed by CBS to an MMO developer, such as STO and Cryptic Studios, ...oh, wait... )
My point? Until more official info Is released about the new 2017 Star trek series, we won' know for sure; but a cross-pollination between Paramount/CBS is not all that impossible given the cross promotion CBS/Paramount have done with Star Trek since 2009.

Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
*shudders....*
JJverse production company (Bad Robot) is not involved with the series. This is being produced solely by Kurtzman's company which is Secret Hideout.
The new series will be in what's called "J.J. Trek".
Wow. So you appear to be a Star Trek fan, yet you wouldn't pay to watch or support the first new Star Trek show in years?
This actually makes me sad. Pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with people on the internet these days.
This, Nothing else on that service interests me. So I would be paying for one show. Not interested. I'll wait for Hulu to get it like every other trek show.

Oh and from what we've been told so far, it won't be in the JJ-Trek Universe.

I haven't seen *any* official(key word) comment about the setting of the series. Link?
Michael Dorn actually said it *was* in the JJ verse, but later retracted that.

I guess it's more speculation than fact, but they have been quoted as saying that it is "...not related..." to the next Trek movie "Beyond".
Based on that, it might be reasonable to believe that it won't be set in the JJ-Trek Universe.
Until we have something more concrete to go with..., that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I am hopeful the new show will be a third reboot; like they're doing with the DCCU and DCTV; one universe for the films, and another for series. We'll see anyway, in time.
