    I can't name a single person who does for the TV shows, the movies yes but not the shows, and not even all of the movies.

    TOS

    TAS

    TNG

    DS9

    VOY

    ENT

    DSC

    Not a single "ST" in the bunch.

    TMP

    TWOK

    TSFS

    TVH

    TFF

    TUC

    Still none.

    GEN

    FC

    INS

    NEM

    Nada.

    ST09

    STID

    STB

    The Kelvin films are the only ones.
    Everyone you can name must spend an awful lot of time explaining WTH they're talking about, then (or only use ST-exclusive forums).

    Incidentally, I don't think I've ever seen most of those abbreviations for the movies at all. The TOS movies other than the first are almost always known by their number (sometimes even the first, though it doesn't officially have a number). Nor have I ever seen the TNG movies shortened to anything other than STG, STFC, STI and STN.

    The Star Trek brand is so famous that I can just say TNG, and even people who haven't watched trek ever know what I am talking about.
    Not to my experience.

    I'm curious if the game will get a bit of a visual reboot. With the new show taking place around 10 years before the STO timeline - will the Odyssey uniform be replaced with the now canon Picard show uniform for example?

    given the show takes place 10 years before STO and star trek has changed uniforms - multiple times - in as little as a year...no​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    In the new Picard Lockbox, you mean?

    I used to hate the way sto did these eras like a short mini series, but the more I thought it about it, the more I realized it made sense. Think about it your going to split your population each time if you go full blown in one era. This being said I still think they should have made the Romulan Republic a stand alone faction, as for the pvp issue, my thought has always been to have the Romulan players play the winner of a Fed vrs Kdf pvp match. I know that time has long sense passed. I agree if they do do something it will most likely be ships/costumes.

The Picard show seems like its going to be even more of that then Discovery is.

    From what I've heard about in reguards to lower decks, with the major events the ship experiences being in the background, and the star characters focusing on minor stuff, it would likely have tons of unresolved plot hooks to explore.

    Its too early to say for Section 31, but spies usually are surrounded by secrets.

    Starfleet Academy we know too little about, almost nothing more then showrunners and name.

    I'm not sure that they have any plans to do Ceti Alpha V anymore.

    The Nicklodeon Star Trek could have some exploitable plothooks.

    But either way they likely will wait to do a Picard season till at least closer to Picard season 2, with the next plotlines for STO revolving around Mirror Universal Admiral Leeta.

    They didn't put all the Discovery costumes in lockboxes, so I doubt they'll do that with costumes from Picard.

    Wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of Section 31 faction or Picard Reputation dropping around this time next year.

    On the academy thought, while they are unlikely to send player captains back for training (unless very specialised for some new threat), they might well send us back as trainers. The captains who beat the iconians, the hurq etc... All valuable experience for the next generation...

    A bit irrelevant but next years is STO's 10th anniversary too. Since 10 years is a big milestone they could be planning something big for next season

    what little i have gleaned about Picard is that Stewart is not interested in another starship captain gig. he's an admiral disenchanted with what happened.. and presumably retired. i suspect it will be more of an ambassaor to the recovering Romulan star empire or fledgling Romulan Republic
