Well, it was certainly leaps and bounds more of a "professional" (whatever that means anymore) response than what came from Robert Meyer Burnett over at Axanar!
"Whatever"
Deadline reporting new Trek series, what about fan productions?
- Thread starter DCR
- Start date
"Whatever"
We were told their contact with Viacom prohibits them airing a new series until after the third film (STB) comes out. We had hoped that by continuing Renegades we could still have a chance to be in consideration when they were ready for a new series.
I found out later from other sources that CBS and Viacom had been working to clear there legal hurtles and prep for a series to be launched in 2017. I expected them to announce after or around STB's release but they moved that annoucement up, most likely for marketing reasons.

No, the post he made on Facebook is still there. There's another tweet where he mentions that he has nothing to do with the new series however:
Considering he is collecting a paycheck, while paying in the CBS Sandbox, when CBS isn't getting any of that money.... I actually do expect more....
How long did they think their master plan would last if CBS ever got off its butt and decided to do something?
Their Indigogo, is still on In Demand mode.. I don't see why they don't craft up a nicely worded email,saying they are excited for this new series, and that they are thankful CBS is gracious at allowing people to play in that sand box, but point out, that with Beyond coming out next year, and this new series, there is a lot of interest in the franchise, and so maybe if everyone could reach a little deeper, donate now, so we can get this film finished before this new series comes out..... yada yada yada....
They may be able to knock another 150-200 bucks from the trees, and get the film finished....

Thank you for the clarification. May I take this opportunity to thank you and everyone at Renegades for everything you are doing for us? I loved your pilot and will continue to support your upcoming episodes. I just hope I can have the best of both worlds and watch Star Trek 2017 alongside Renegades. That would be so cool.

Yup....
I dunno, could be maybe they're just honestly excited? Just as Burnett is clearly not? I kind of assume someone who was in terror of being crushed under the iron heel of Les Moonves would be doing their best to blend in with the cosmic background noise and not be issuing statements about anything.

Probably on account of they don't need to, because the imminent boot of the CBS lawyers is yet again (rather tenuous) speculation that's irrelevant to anyone off TrekBBS?

Axanar has stated on several occasions that they've had "conversations" with CBS lawyers. I'd imagine that should CBS start cracking down, they'd have a fair warning before C&D's start flying.
I think Mr. Burnetts answer is very honest. He did not diss it and he did not praise it. And how could you? - since we know basically NOTHING about the new series.
The praise from STC to me reads just like a generic answer, with a bit of lube.
I´d take the honest answer over that any time.

Conversations with corporate lawyers doesn't mean anything. It's very likely, the lawyers they spoke with, weren't on the "in" with this announcement, nor the direction the Studio was taking with the property.
At any point, CBS has the legal footing to shut them down, all of them, and the Lawyers have also made that clear, they exist only at the graces of CBS, and with this endeavor, it's very likely those graces will change. Specifically, because now CBS is, in effect, crowd funding the next Trek Series.....
If someone is gracious enough to let me play in their sand box, I am going to be gracious in my comments about said sand box.... It's decency and common sense.
