Rumors are flying that CBS is going to get political and make veiled references to current politics and if that happens the show may die quickly. I do like the show, not sure how I feel regarding how it rates compared to the other five live action series over the years, but it is good entertainment. As for now the arguments rage on and on over this controversial new Trek series. I am confident however that we will likely see something down the road, I imagine that Cryptic needs to wait until the series develops and the tie ins to TOS become more clear. I haven’t heard of any in-game additions that align with Discovery other than uniforms. Remember the experiments with augmentation? Yet this show doesn’t give us those Klingon but rather JJ Klingons? Interesting, maybe the Augment experiments will become part of this series? As for the ‘spore drive’, my only guess is that something horrific will have to happen to eliminate the technology as viable if they are to align this series with TOS and the events of the prime timeline. Interesting that great detail in the canon of Trek has been laid out to clarify why the Klingons depicted in TOS had no ridges and such. In the Alternate Timeline, AKA JJ-Verse, Kirk was in command much earlier as the trilogy of movies detailed. Remember this show is ten years before TOS and that means Kirk is roughly 20 years old. So if we are to trust CBS, then future Captain, James T Kirk is probably at the academy, right now and Captain Pike is in command of the Constitution Class U.S.S. Furthermore, CBS has said their intention is to run this series right up to the point that it aligns with the TOS era. CBS insists this is a prime timeline story, yet we have the JJ Klingons and some unexplained futuristic tech that does not seem to align with 10 years earlier than TOS. The confusion is fair since the Klingons are depicted very similar to the JJ Klingons and nothing like the Klingons of any of the post TOS TV shows or any of the ten prime timeline movies. Was this in the prime timeline or the alternate (AKA JJ-verse) timeline. Enterprise despite all the hulabaloo ended up being a pretty good show.ĭiscovery however started us off a bit confusing. I feel like it may be even more controversial than the Enterprise launch. This show has created quite a stir among the legions of Trekkies all over the world.

Rivera has been in the games industry since the Sega Dreamcast and a Star Trek fan longer than that it was great to chat with him about this dream merging of his two worlds! Does Rivera get to see the show’s script in advance, or work with the show’s actors for original voice acting? How do characters and ships from the year 2255 show up in a game set in 2409? What unique gameplay mechanics do the spore drive and Crossfire-class ships present? Will next month’s DS9-themed expansion, Victory Is Life, include any Discovery content? The debut of Star Trek: Discovery marks the first time in the MMO’s eight-year history that it has a current television show to work off, and we chatted with Al about all the opportunities and challenges that presents. Al Rivera, aka Captain Geko, is the Principal Lead Designer at Cryptic Studios, developer of Star Trek Online, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set 30 years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis.
