How about the "Not-Ready-For-Prime" Universe?
I think it would be a bad idea to establish two or more separate generational focal points in any new Trek. That's how the continuity got impossible.
I hate the idea, but if it happened here's a few things:
-Enterprise D should be 50 km long, with 7 trillion extra-heavy turbolasers and 6794 torpedo and concussion missile tubes, in addition to having a super laser than can destroy anything, even planets, and near-impenetrable shields that only super beings can damage with neutron hull, and warp 10 ability of being everywhere in the universe at once. This way, all the silly star wars geeks can self-combust in a blaze of hatred and patheticness, and the ones that survive can get a life.
-Political officer Troi played by Sirtis with constant conflicts with Picard - formal name should still be councilor, she's there in advising capacity
-Navigation officer
-Separate Tactical and Security officers
-First Officer should have a job in one of the departments mentioned here, just like the 2nd officer does
-Expert on alien races -first contact expert or "Diplomatic Officer"
-Leave Chief Engineer and Operations Officers as they are
-Possibly add intelligence officer
-Shrinks and Doctors are minor characters
-Captain Picard has some experience with all of these fields and is sort of jack of all trades.

^ And of course Captain Richard Robau III.

No, the same Robau from Trek XI, having found a way to survive death itself and continue living into the 24th century.
TNG? Why not? We gotta have Worf though. I really didn't mind Wesley Crusher. He was just made a deux ex machina for too many episodes. Have WC be brilliant but not always right and an enlisted crew member. Data? Great!!
Captain Picard? A good actor that's bald. I was going to say Michael Hogan..
Riker? Gerard Butler or one like him. Make him butt heads once in a while with Picard.
Troi? I like the idea of a Starship counselor, but it should be an officer, like the ship's surgeon, that can over ride the Capt. in specific instances.
With an altered timeline why not have a regular Romulan crew member? EVERY alien race on Trek has had a regular character. The Romulans have had no regular character. BTW Dukat/Garak count as a regular Cardassian. So...why not have the Romulan as Enterprise's or Voyager's security Officer?
In the rebooted Voyager Tuvok and or Vorik may not exist, they could have a Romulan characters in one of those slots as well. it might even be interesting to have a Romulan Engineer having to work with B'Lanna Torres. Who's to say the rebooted Janeway would make B'lanna the Chief?
With the reboot Cardassians, Romulans, and even the Vorta(ship's counselor anyone) could be brought in. I'd like to see Abram's take on the Borg.
DS9: I had Andre Braugher in mind as Capt. Sisko. The 1st officer could be a female Cardassian instead of Kira.
Even change the premise to a Federation/Cardassian Alliance.
Just some ideas on a reboot.

Data will be able to transform into a Moped!
Agreed.

Good point...
In that case, I would think about doing an Abrams "Star Trek: The Next Generation" being exactly that: one generation after Kirk and crew. Use the Enterprise-B instead of -D, make it an Excelsior or Ambassador class, slightly change the premise and background of a few episodes. In fact, with the humongous nuEnterprise design you might even get away with having 1701-B be an actual Galaxy class at the turn of the 24th century.
And if you think about it, with some really simple modifications, TNG could easily fit into that paradigm as-is. If Kirk's last act as a Starfleet officer is rescuing the Khitomer conference from Federation/Klingon machinations, the alliance between the Klingons and the Federation would be pretty recent and exactly as tenuous as it appeared to be in TNG/DS9. Picard's tour on Stargazer would coincide with Kirk's career, in fact you could even arrange a flashback where Lieutenant Picard actually met Captain James Kirk on one of his voyages. Hell, you could even come up with a neat background for Worf in this version, either as a long-term exchange program with the Klingons or even as a Klingon defector who joined Starfleet while they were still at war.
Obviously, this wouldn't be feasible until the TOS set had officially run its course, but then you'd avoid the problem of a big hundred year gap between the two periods and continuity would be a little easier to follow.
I can buy the new TOS crew; decent acting and good faith can make me believe that I am seeing Shatner, Nemoy, and the Gang; but the fact remains that when it comes to a long-term series, different actors are different actors no matter what. I personally would like us to move away from the tradition of employing actor impersonators (even if they are good ones) before it becomes a steady habit.
A new crew aboard the Enterprise E in the conventional universe would peek my interest more than a continuation of the XI storyline. Additionally, the 1701-B and C remain very poorly covered in canon; why not jump at the opportunity to tell their stories in more depth?
In any case, I will support the producers as they forge onward with upcoming releases.

I like that idea. Picard retires or gets promoted, a new crew is assigned to the Enterprise.
