An electric motor and gas engine. It's the first line.

Oddbin , to Star Trek in Paramount Has A Plan To Bring Star Trek Back To The Big Screen, Says Roddenberry Entertainment Exec

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I’d like more Trek out beyond the current lore, it’s own thing that is in the same universe but not directly tied to anything we’ve got. Star Trek is running into that Skywalker’s everywhere issue that Star Wars has.

The best idea I’ve seen so far (IMHO) steals from Stargate by sending a ship via a transwarp one way-esque jump to another galaxy. That lets you star fresh but still dip into the existing lore if/when. Then as the series goes on slowly but surely Starfleet gets more of a foothold, builds a star base/outpost, transwarp link-thing, you get more ships, more people, more spinoffs etc.

Struck me as a “clean” start of sorts.

Oddbin , to Star Trek in What are your favourite TNG episodes?

Deja Q because it’s Q being probably his most fun alongside the crew still championing the core tennants of the Federation. Given all the trouble he had given them and all the trouble he brought they could have just kicked him out but they didn’t. It’s a fun episode that works because at this point we know all the characters well.
