New Star Trek Series

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

Ironically, a lot of the examples given at that site are situations where having a lot of stuff is not bad for the series.

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

That I am playing FO (which is a non-commercial fan-project and not another novel, movie or TV-show) doesn't mean I wanna see more Star Trek in general. And if you would have read more carefully; besides STO I mentioned none of the ST-games which came out (and there are only very few I haven't played at least once).

well if you dont make a tv series about the future star trek time line then there is nothing left to cover it s all been done .....unless they did a like 7-9 eps mini series on the last season 5 of enterprise well there is nothing left to do.....and if you read some of the plot for season 5 of enterprise well with todays CGI and the romulan earth war i think it would have been a very cool season.

Well, there are decades between STar Trek VI and VII you could make a movie about(they had the best uniforms, I'd like to see them in a series ) and there are 100years between Ent and TOS, and there are 150years between today and Ent - I don't think there is nothing left . 300years we know little about. However, I'm not really a friend of making a step backwards, it always ends up with inconsistencies.
Although a series about Klingons would be something only Star Trek could do, I don't think sth like that could turn out well. It would either end up with peaceful Klingons or warlike Star Trek, both would be crap.

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.

Actually they did add Star Trek to the title in Enterprise starting with season 3. And even though the earler seasons didnt call it Star Trek it would still be considered Star Trek. And I dont think there shouldnt be another show, but I think it would be wise to wait a while, let people actually miss Star Trek, I mean since TNG started there had been new Star Trek episodes comming out for 18 years! Not to mention 6 movies through that same timeframe between TNG and the end of Enterprise. It just got to be too much. Let the franchise cool down and recharge, it WILL be back someday in TV format.

I wish they would just do movies for a while but with the whole "reboot" thing none of the movies will be about people i care about so idk.

Well they could do WW3 on earth and the period following the end of the war, the warp flight, first contact, etc etc. If done well it could be quite nice. However based on the way trek always does that period, it'd just be a 'modern IRL in Trek' show, so I'd not want it done unless done right (IE: a 60s view of the 90s, with some modern tech, but nothing brand name), and with JJ arround, I dont see that happening.

Another option would be a non-enterprise show. Pick some random ship from an era, preferbly TOS era (I admit the Enterprise spinoff did a nice job with their mirror universe episode). Prehaps on a smaller ship even, and have it ramp up from exploration and near the end of the series pick up action wise and have behind the scenes handling of the Klingon/Fed war that the Organians averted.

Another option would be to have Earth's early exploration, their meeting the various races that would become the core of the Federation, ramping up as they come across an unknown species called the romulans that launches a viscious attack on them, leading to a war fought with lasers and nukes in space. Basicly, scrap Enterprise, and do it right.

well season 5 was planed to do the romulan war and with a movie direct to dvd on the climax of the war but the movie main character was not enterprise crew but a member of kirks family his great grampa of something, and im a fan of CGI and enterprise had some good stuff, too bad the romulan war would have been kool to see.

enterprise if this is what cyrax is talking about would of had the borg queen, how she came to be, charles tucker a section 31 agent, shran who joined the enterprise. it would of been cool, i just hated that those tv station network fatcats dropped the bomb that it was cut.

a new series: based on the period between enterprise and TOS or between TOS and TNG eras, then after VOY/DS9 say the war with the sphere builders from ENT where the federation fight them, the Klingon inception into the Federation and maybe some other stuff. it should prove an interesting twist on all three.

i digress i would like to see a star trek based entirely off near the very end of the dominion war and based completely around the cardassians and their fight against the dominion, how they view everyone else, more on their culture, and the rebuilding efforts, like a ds9 on cardassia but only more action orientated and more cliche behavior since we are talking about cardassians here .

I would personally like a new series to have a bit of a darker theme. And to be a bit more realistic, so one can never really know what to expect, like Christopher Nolan films, and ( surprisingly ) sometimes, Enterprise.

The 'exploration' days of startrek, like TNG and TOS, were cool. Id like to see the old Picard days back, but to be honest, I think that all the ideas concerning this kind of Star Trek have been used 5 times over. Enterprise didnt really have anything to add to the 'explorer' theme, except episodes based on old ideas.

No, I would like to see DS9 sort of stuff, only executed in a better way. Less cheese. Less
*the Jem 'Hadar are scary supersoldiers, 4 times as strong as humans*
*Sisko procedes to mass murder Jemhadar in single combat*


It should be like an HBO series...more..addicting. A dark (mini?)series about soldiers in the dominion war? With some of those oh-so-awesome mirror universe episodes? A series based on the mirror universe? f*ck yeah.

Would love to see the Cardassian comeback, sort of a rebirth if you will. Id like to see them come around and like the episode where the Romulan's said were back, and we dont want you around, sort of theme.

a mirror universe series would have to deal with the implausibility of the mirror universe where everyone has an evil bearded duplicate etc. it was a universe sized cliché 

i like the idea of a dominion war ground troops series, could still see big space battles and lazor spam in space cos thats how they get to the planets. it would start with the main cast being good guys and having all their morals, and each between-season-cliffhanger ep would have a new low for them losing who they are. 3 seasons in would have them as bad as the soldier who shouts at jake not to let him die with his face in the dirt. maybe 5 seasons in they would be about as bad as the dudes on ar558. then in the 6/7 (near the end) they would be nearly psychotic. would need to have more secondary characters than stargate universe in order to allow enough deaths to be realistic for war. main characters would have to die 1 every couple seasons too.

You and me, we are talking on the same level here my good man.

Ahhh, thread necro.

I actually have a pretty well developed story for the next Star Trek series: the first holographic starship.  The ship itself is a small cube-shaped or spherical device (borg inspired) with only one emergency area with life support.  It generates the entire rest of the "ship" using holo-emitters and force-fields.  A crew consisting mainly of holograms with a few flesh-and-blood crewmembers trying to improve relations as the first holographic nation is founded.

A distinct feature of Star Trek stories is the enemy that disables the entire crew except for one robot/hologram/shapeshifter/vulcan, who is immune.  This series could have cases where the holograms are knocked out and the "real" crew need to save them, and other times when the life support is disabled and the holograms must take over.  The story can present new and exciting stories that feel like they're just out of our reach, but maybe our children's children could see it happen.  Just like Star Trek has always been.

Characters could include:

-The ambitious "real" captain, intent on furthering his own career but displaced to be in charge of the ship because people weren't comfortable with a holographic captain.  With the series taking place after existing canon, he could totally be a Romulan.

-The holographic first mate who was supposed to be the captain, and holds the true loyalty of the crew.

-The real "hologram doctor", who is actually a programmer.  He understands how the holograms work, and believes they are NOT sentient beings, but is willing to be quiet about it and pretend that they are.

-The hologram that became obsessed with a great Klingon general from the past, and patterned itself to be exactly like them complete with memories.  He now believes he IS the Klingon general, or at least acts like it most of the time.

There would be plenty of time for exploration, but also the founding of a new nation and many diplomatic missions inside known space.  They could be drawn into conflicts between races, asked for favors that only they can help with, and taken advantage of.  Good fun all around.

If they felt like it, they could have the holograms appear in any form.  Imagine a little 10-year-old girl as the chief engineer. 

So that's my idea, what do you think?
