New Star Trek Series

to each his own

Is the rumored 3rd federation avatar not Starfleet Intelligence. Perhaps that avatar could make use of modified versions of older designs (such as the Steamrunner) to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

Anyway, this is not about FO

There must be mystery, there must be action, there must be exploration. Hot females (or "character interaction"/"copulation" in a narrow sense), everydays boringness, funny spice ups and unimportant story side jumps are minor requests from my side... yeah... to have some nice tits running over the screen now and then would surely increase my interest.

Hehehe. Human nature.

what about a series set in the temporal cold war/war and they could have episodes that connect with all other star trek Temporal episodes with lots of guest stars and races from all era's both new and old races.

Was the temporal cold war not averted with the destruction of the spheres?

Anyway, IMO such a series would be located too far into the future. It would lose the connection to the existing series which would make any new star trek series unattractive.

Also temporal cold war, one could get a major headache if every episode was focused on (preventing) yet another temporal incursion.

Yeah, the war never happened. A series would have to be set in an alternate timeline.

Yeah, time travel and manipulation tends to do that.

I think any new series to survive in our era of ice road truckers and keeping up with the kardashins would have to revolve around the latest trek with movie with lots of boobs and explosions

Although i do not know if this is canon or RPG the history at The Starfleet Museum - A Report by Masao Okazaki would make for some interesting series.

E.g. located between the TOS and TNG
Perhaps even the Ambassador could make a frequent appearance (probably going to win a few hearts and minds with that idea )

Isn't there more than enough Star Trek around on DVD already? Especially considering that DS9 and Enterprise were basically Star Trek in name and universe only, while Voyager was "star-trek-formula-based" again but awfully bad (if ever) thought out.
11 movies (with at least one more coming), 5 shows on TV, tons, tons and... tons of fan-fiction and novels and entire novel-series and a pay-to-play-MMO is way too much stuff. The oldschool-trekkies only needed TOS to be hardcore-fans. So I assume that a cult-classic does need quality, not quantity.

I prefer "All good things must come to an end." instead of "And the beat goes on..."

If you consider 2/5 of the series of Star Trek to not be true Star Trek, then I think you need to change your definition.  It may not match what you want it to be, but it is still Star Trek.

I don't see what's wrong with having so much stuff (12 movies, 5 series, dozens of novels and games, a MMO, etc.).  It follows the basic formula of capitalism: if it makes money, keep doing it.  If people like Star Trek, what's wrong with making more of it?

Star Trek has progressed far beyond the "cult-classic" of TOS.

Technically, the early Enterprise isn't Star Trek because it doesn't have it in the name. That's about the only thing about that isn't 'true' Trek.

Having too much stuff runs the risk of it tiring out.

    Lol first of all, not all movies are about the "goddie good guys", and I'm sure the Romulans have their own perspective on the Federation that makes them out to evil, and good cause for what they've done. Star Trek bad guys aren't just evil people who do bad things just for the sake of the plot, but because they have true motives and their own perspective/reasons for doing what they do. Second, the temperal cold war ended with the defeat of the flying space Nazis, not the spherebuilders. Third, all of you out there that hate the new Star Trek movie and think that all good things must come to an end, you should know that legends never die, and that the new Star Trek movie did a lot more good than bad. In fact its not even the prime universe it takes place in. Two Star Trek histories can be even better than one!  And Finally, yes quality is very important, and if we don't get a new series, I don't see why they can't make a new movie every half a year like the silly Twilight franchise... Sigh...

Phew!

And here you are playing a RTS mod for a Star Trek based game.
