Star Trek: Discovery V3.0 (First Trailer Released)

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Dominion has retreated back to the Gamma quadrant, and was really devastated by the war. The Jem Hadar have some freedom post war but are still part of the Dominion. There was actually a Jem Hadar representative who lived on DS9 for some time. Sisco comes back years after being in the wormhole, and starts a new family and lives on Bajor. Prophets tell him his family will die if he stays with them, so he abandons them, and rejoins starfleet. He is currently Captain of a Galaxy Class ship. Kira becomes a star fleet captain and runs DS9 after the war and Sisco disappearing. Years later she becomes a Vedek, and after a few years is sucked into the wormhole by the prophets. Ro Laren from TNG, rejoins star fleet after the War, and Bajor formally joins the Federation. The Maquis were largely destroyed, but the survivors were offered amnesty. Laren becomes Chief of Security of the station, since Odo leaves to help his people. She becomes Captain of DS9 when Kira becomes a Vedek. DS9 is destroyed at some point, and after a few years they build a new Star Fleet built DS9.

Star Fleet is just starting to re-explore the Delta quadrant, after the development of Slipstream ships.

If your interested in catching up with the Trek Universe post Nemesis, Read the Destiny Trilogy by David Mack. It will fill you in on everything.

Ro Laren is still alive? Don't get me wrong, she was a hottie with super sexy resting bitch face, but I'm pretty incredulous to the prospect that as a Maquis that she would have survived the dominion massacre. Colour me unconvinced.

The Maquis were basically wiped out by the Jem Hadar, after Cardassia joined the Dominion. The survivors kinda scattered, and she rejoined the Bajoran defense force. Star Fleet tried to court marshall her after the war, but Picard intervened. Once Bajor joined the Federation she was allowed to rejoin Star Fleet, and was assigned to DS9. She became security chief and then first officer after Kira left. A few years later she was promoted to captain after the DS9 captain was critically injured. DS9 was destroyed by Andorian separatist, and now she commands the new DS9(which was designed and built by Master Chief Obrien, and Lt. Cmdr Nog)

Here's is DS9 v2 if your interested. As always Memory Alpha(Tv and movie) and Memory Beta(everything else Star Trek) is an amazing source of information.

is that the original CGI or the remastered one?

Not sure because I took the screenshot from the internet. I hope it is the old one, though, because it looks like on my DVD.

Edit:
This seems to be the remastered edition. Hmm

[The Clinch]

Cool. Whatever the race or gender of the captain is has never been important to me, the person just has to be able to act the part. If they really want to look at the captain and try things racially, it may be time for an Asian captain though.

Captain ratings:
1) Picard
2) Sisko
3) Janeway
4) Kirk
5) Archer

Although Janeway and Kirk are almost interchangeable.

Sisko might've been able to make a serious bid for #1 had he been Captain on a starship.

What has happened to Elim Garak? He was my fav from DS9.

What has happened to Elim Garak? He was my fav from DS9.

Leader of the Cardassian Union. Cardassia has joined the kithomer accords treaty. Federation, Klingons, Cardassians, and Ferengi all signed the treaty and are now allies. Romulans, Gorn, Breen and several other powers have formed a rival group, the Typhon Pact. Now its a big old cold war.

USS Discovery teaser.

This shit is so fucking terrible. Depressingly terrible.

Oh well. At least I can look forward to the next episode of Star Trek Continues.

I think the music is good. The ship design is oldschool and seems to fit the time they are going for. The CGI looks bad, but it is obviously far from the final product.

 

[Adamant]

I would like to see all Federation ships equipt with quantum slipsteam engines. It'd be nice if exploration expanded out farther than we've ever seen it before, and starships could travel 10,000 lightyears an hour, rather than being primarily restricted to a small part of the Alpha Quadrant. At the very least the series could much more thoroughly explore the entire galaxy.

Damn, that looks really good! .....for 1997.

I agree that it would be nice to have a series that explores new galaxies. Maybe through a portal or wormhole and then have a fleet of ship explore truly uncharted territory.

Yeah they really need to make sure the CGI is up to par. I miss the days when real models were used.

I never got into Babylon 5, partly because the CGI was so horrible.

Yeh thats largely what the books are doing now. New ships are being built with slipstream, and most ships are smaller and sleeker. Larger ships like the galaxy are currently to bulky for slipstream, so they are focising more on smaller, mission specific ships, and making squadrons with science, medical, exploration, engineering, ect vessels. I thought it could be a neat idea to follow a squad of several smaller ships, exploring a new region.

In today’s second-quarter CBS Corporation earnings call, CEO Les Moonves spoke to the current status of their CBS All Access streaming platform, the United States’ exclusive home of next year’s STAR TREK: DISCOVERY series.

Our CBS All Access and Showtime OTT streaming services have surpassed two million subscribers, about evenly split, well ahead of where we’d thought we’d be this early in the game.

We’ve licensed our ‘Star Trek’ franchise in the international marketplace, guaranteeing our new series will be profitable even before it launches and begins driving [subscriptions] here in the US on CBS All Access.

Moonves previously predicted that international sales of DISCOVERY would cover about 60% of the production costs of the new series, and as reported a few weeks ago, STAR TREK: DISCOVERY will be distributed via Netflix to 188 countries – not counting either the USA or Canada.


CBS president and CEO Les Moonves.
It seems that his prediction has come true, as Moonves revealed today that the new series is already profitable, ahead of either production or premiere.

We also struck a significant international deal with Netflix for ‘Star Trek,’ licensing our new series ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ to 188 Netflix countries around the world – virtually everywhere but North America.

In addition, we licensed all 727 previous episodes of our ‘Star Trek’ library. Plus, we struck a similar deal with Bell Media for Canada.

As a result, ‘Star Trek: Discovery,’ our new series, is profitable – and we haven’t even begun production.

We still have additional windows to sell the show in second and third cycles down the road. It’s also safe to say that ‘Star Trek’ will lead to a significant bump in subscribers for CBS All Access here in the US.

Joe Ianniello, CBS’s Chief Operating Officer, spoke to the choice to license DISCOVERY to one international outlet – Netflix – rather than dozens of local distributors in different countries.

We looked at the marketplace and decided what was best for the franchise. Netflix obviously had the previous seasons before… it was one [licensing] deal as opposed to executing a hundred different deals in different countries – and by the way, it was a lot of money in US dollars.

So when you summed it all up, it just kind of made sense.

Moonves expanded on those comments, with both Netflix’s success with Trek – and hints toward a yet-unofficial longevity for the new show.

The reason the Netflix buy was so healthy [is because Netflix] has already seen what ‘Star Trek’ is doing on their service. From day one, it performed extraordinarily well. That is one of the reason we decided to put it on All Access, obviously, to help build our own [subscriptions].

Going forward, obviously, we’re doing thirteen episodes initially with ‘Star Trek,’ we are fairly certain – although we haven’t done one day of production – that the series is gonna go on for a while.

We have spin-offs of spin-offs, you know? It’s a very, very valuable franchise that can turn into hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for us.

Also look at this space dock concept. Looks like a certain asteroid from the trailer...

Here is Ralph McQuarrie's concept art from 1977, which seems to be what most are comparing the new ship too.

I will be keeping my eye on this just in case, but so far, not feeling it. I think it's safe to say this wont be a post-Nemesis series, huh?

'Safe to say' is pushing it, but a lot points in that direction.

 

[sverre054]

'Safe to say' is pushing it, but a lot points in that direction.

The ship has elements that date it around the time of ST:VI but also things from ships like the Sovereign class and Akira class ships. Its sounds like John Eaves(created some of the best trek ships) is involved in the design, and has said expect some major changes and updates to the design, but they are basing it off this old school concept. They are trying to reimagine the Star fleet look, without just JJverwsing the ships by taking the classic ships and making them sleeker and giant.
