Discovery looks like something that was vomited up by the special effects team that worked on the Transformers movies ... and then some idiot executive at CBS said, "Throw the words 'Vulcan' and 'Klingon' into the script and call it 'Star Trek' so we can sell this trash to idiot fanboys."
If this is the future of Star Trek Online then I'll quit playing now while this game still resembles the Star Trek I've loved since I was 6 years old.
Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
I kinda like the seth series, looks like a fun version of a TV galaxy Quest.
As for discover, I could see some missions where you cross over via daniels and you help out a time or two maybe bring one of the actors over for a Voice Over cameo and tie it into a episode or something. Maybe you get a ship or two in the zen store from it like how the JJ verse ships were brought over.
I would play that though, having about 15 episodes where you are starting off in the discover tiem frame / line and end up in 2409 TNG starfleet, heh heh
the rest looks fine.. if it ruins your trek, it's ok your trek never existed in the first place. remember kirk was a outerspace cowboy player who shot from the hip.
oh and if you can't see the video:

this is the star trek channel one.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

STO acknowledges all the different major points of Star Trek. TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, even a few nods to TMP-era movies (wish there were more). JJ-Trek is now officially part of STO. So Discovery will be a part of the game eventually. It'd be foolish to believe otherwise.
Visually, I think they're doing it to cut the franchise off now from the previous shows and go with a totally new look for a different generation. I'm not fond of it, but looking at it coldly, I can understand why.
Of course, if they had set the show long after anything shown in the TV shows, movies, i.e. decades or even 100 years after the end of the Dominion War, we wouldn't be having this "Everything looks too damn different!" drama. Well, maybe except for the Klingons...
Maybe... Just maybe...

So I wonder how they ended up with this instead:
Random mutation, small Klingon sect that tried to restore their former appearance, Klingons who successfully evaded the mutagenic virus...???
Though I wish the trailer didn't look so much like JJ Trek, I'm curious to see more.
They look like a TNG klingon and a Alien Xenomorph got wild one night after too much blood wine.
Barring some exceedingly stupid lighting and some of us having quibbles about design decisions, I will admit the show looks pretty good with some serious backing. It does not look low budget that's for sure, which is a thing sci-fi TV shows often face.
Of course I’d love to see the new series being adapted into the STO universe one way or the other. Let it be ships, stories or characters.
I think the past five years I spend more time playing STO than I ever spend watching the various screen incarnations of star trek, not to mention books or other games of the franchise. I’m confident whatever cryptic is allowed to come up with will be cool and hopefully contribute to a long life of Star Trek Online.

With 2009-STiD we had to wait a bit before getting it, and Beyond is still pending. However, that was Paramount and Discovery is entirely within CBS' domain. Perhaps they are planning on a launch-day tie-in provided there are no spoiler items? Not impossible, but not likely I suppose.
I'd consider it HIGHLY likely. STO represents a good sized nest of internet connected fans to be woo'd for the new streaming service and the TV show is a mass media presence for the IP. Cryptic seems to have finally been allowed to at least sit at the big table and I'm sure all parties concerned grasp how cross-marketing helps all of them rake in the quatloos.
So basically:
This doesn't work in the Prime Timeline, put that in the Kelvin Timeline and the vast differences of technology in only 10 years will be more credible.
The Klingons' redesign is not only pointless, it also damages more than just continuity.
If you make a prequel to an old movie, at least TRY to be coherent. Star Wars did a far much better job at bridging eras with Rebels and Rogue One with recent movie-making tech.
Isn't that all to be hoped for? If something's made for the fans it relies on an intimate knowledge of the series (which in part is what defines the fan). That precludes thoughtful development of elements which we fans take for granted, since that would be taken as fans as slow, plodding, and unnecessary to their interests. Ex. just who are the Klingons? That, in turn, can result in truncated story arcs (at the front end) which only a few can truly engage with (ie. series fanatics.)
Star Trek has always tried to be appreciable to a wide audience. That's what made the first few series such a powerful cultural touchstone. It seems rather selfish to me, to now claim that Discovery isn't doing the IP justice because it's taking a new path (apparently) on even the most familiar things to the franchise. That's the best case scenario. Maybe we old/crusty fans can have that thrill of discovery again in learning about the Klingons and the FED in this era, while everyone else can have a new series to latch onto (without first having to take an introductory course in Star Trek fandom).
It's a fine line but I think the Discovery trailer shows that CBS is walking it sufficiently.

Ship, sign me up!
But those TRIBBLE "Klingons" need to be erased from existence, not added to STO ... how the frak do you mess something like that up so badly!?
What I'm starting to think is that they aren't typical Klingons, ie. members of the KDF looking to promote their gov's political interests. "Religious sect/cult" (especially given that sarcophagus) is my guess, a new entity that spells significant complications to official relations between the KDF/FED.
Ep 1. Shenzou finds these Klingons up to no good, tries to stop them before they retrieve the in-stasis body of an ancient warrior, but gets destroyed (leaving the Klingons to escape with their prize.)
Shenzou survivors reassigned to a new ship: U.S.S. Discovery with the remit (from both FED and KDF) of pursuing these Klingons into uncharted space.
