To Hell with the continuity.
Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

Year One.
There are plenty of Constitution-class ships in the fleet, yes.
Speaking of which... how about using the New Jersey, then?
Perhaps the final episode of such a series could show how succeeding generations interacted with the ship and its legacy, once it was added to the Fleet Museum.
I was also thinking how nice that would be. Just give us a fresh new crew on a different Constitution-class ship, off at the other end of the Federation. Occasionally, we can run into one of our old friends from the Enterprise, but mostly it's a new crew handling their own stuff. Give their mission a slightly different premise but keep it mostly episodic, in a VOY-ish way.
I think we're unlikely to get it, because culturally everyone still seems obsessed with resurrecting classic characters in everything (and I certainly like that too). But it would be nice to have a fully new slate of characters.
Honestly, with as precarious as Trek's position feels right now, I'm prepared to be thrilled about any Trek show greenlit post-merger, regardless of the topic.
So you're onboard with my 'don't set it in the prime timeline' idea then? The idea of giving the series its own continuity.
You completely missed Mudd’s point.
I don't understand Mudd's point. Why does he care so much about something he doesn't care about?
Why is it so important that this be Prime Timeline if he doesn't give a damn about the Prime Timeline?

Go sign the Star Trek: Legacy petition.
So, much like Terry Matalas and his Star Trek: Legacy series pitch then
I know you're joking, but I'm really not keen on this Star Trek: SNW fans vs Star Trek: Picard fans thing that's going on where it has to be one thing or the other. I'm on team Star Trek.
It's TOS vs TNG all over again. Literally, since one is a TNG sequel and the other one is a TOS remake/prequel. You know, I don't think there is actually a name for what "Year One" is if it overlaps the original episodes. A revisit?
That's just how fans are.
I wouldn't care to watch Star Trek: Legacy as Terry Matalas and some fans have pitched it; but I've mostly voiced that opinion in response to comments made in the SNW forum or SNW threads where others express their disdain for more 23rd century TOS era stuff.
I'm still on the fence as to whether I'll take a look at the Star Fleet Academy series as the 32nd century era really doesn't interest me.
And you're perfectly entitled to express the opinions you have on the various Star Trek projects and productions past and present - there are no 'wrong' opinions.
But yeah, I'll continue to express mine in replies too.
Sadly, that's been built in for a long time, since TNG.
