If that's the case, I'm on board with that. (BotF did the same thing.)

I appreciate the apparent Birth of the Federation aspect as briefly seen in the trailer. I loved BotF and I've missed it terribly. However, I am still irrationally annoyed by the note that this game takes place "decades" before TNG, yet Galaxy-class, Intrepid-class, and other newer vessels are featured. (This would have been the best opportunity to feature ships from the "lost era" between the Kirk feature films and TNG, such as Ambassador-class, Constellation-class, and any number of ships seen as wreckage at Wolf 359.)
