Because over 25 years have past since Picard et al. (sans Riker and Troi) were on the E-E. I don't think anyone would question it. "We've all moved on" was the theme of S1, where it was established that Picard was promoted out of the chair.

Because over 25 years have past since Picard et al. (sans Riker and Troi) were on the E-E. I don't think anyone would question it. "We've all moved on" was the theme of S1, where it was established that Picard was promoted out of the chair.
So, the -F had an active service of sixteen years. It raises the question of why. An unworkable engineering nightmare, like today's F-35? Some sort of damage that makes the ship unflyable, so it's easier to just retire it than refit and repair it? The material and energy costs in the early 25th-century are now so low that capital ships are effectively disposable with planned obsolence in a short timeframe?So according to this new Star Trek Logs Instagram post, the Enterprise-F launched in 2386 and she's "scheduled for decommissioning... the Enterprise-F's final flight will be... during this year's Frontier Day."
So those clips of the Enterprise-F are of her being DECOMMISSIONED!? Why the hell even use the F then!? Reason #47 why they should have just stuck with the E!
The -D had a short life, but it was designed for a century-long mission. The -E and -F had short lives.
I think the F works better in this case.
But they're doing it in a very strange way. According to Star Trek Online the Enterprise-F was launched in 2409, not 2386. The Enterprise-E is still in service in STO until 2408. All the evidence points to Picard season three taking place in 2405ish so the E should still be going.
If they wanted to canonise the Odyssey-class, just have the USS Odyssey show up. This canonises an STO design at the expense of blowing all the surrounding continuity to hell and back. What's the point?
Why? Picard and crew didn't go their separate ways when the E launched. Kirk and crew didn't go their separate ways when the A launched. We saw Riker, Troi, Crusher, and Data already depart the Enterprise-E in Nemesis. The back story to Picard's first season had Picard himself leave the ship when he was promoted to admiral to manage the Romulus crisis. Geordi could have left the Enterprise to work on the Jellyfish with Ambassador Spock in the 2380s as part of Picard's Romulus task force. What Worf was doing on the Enterprise in Nemesis was never confirmed anyway, maybe he took a year-long sabbatical from being Federation ambassador to the court of Chancellor Martok and then resumed his post. It's all easily explained using existing information from the shows and movies. And let's face it, the fact that the youngest of the TNG characters is now pushing 70 is good enough a reason for them to not still be on the Enterprise anyway.
STO isn't canon, it doesn't blow up anything.
STO will just ignore this, as they've ignored other new canon stuff that contradict their lore in big ways.
Believe me, I'm very unconcerned about STO canon. I'd just as rather they avoided anything connected with it at all. Especially some of its really ugly ship classes!
It's not like other Odyssey-class ships can't appear in the future, it's just the Enterprise being put out of service due to extreme wear and tear. 
well now I really want to see a television movie about the Enterprise-F. It had fifteen years of service and granted we know its going to get Decomissioned in Picard Season 3, I still wanna see what they were upto.
The Dev's at STO may eventually just adjust their timeline dates to coincide with the shows.
They've done that before.
Which two?

I think the Odyssey-class is fantastically ugly and I'd be perfectly happy for it to never appear on screen at all. I just think it's really weird that they'd put it in the show to appeal to fans of STO and then bugger up everything to do with it from the perspective of STO.
Galaxy class, and Ambassador class.

Didn't have to wait long. There's another, maybe two, Odyssey-class in the background:
is this from one of the trailers? I don't recall seeing this shot beforeDidn't have to wait long. There's another, maybe two, Odyssey-class in the background:
I haven't kept up with the trailers and other stuff, but saw it on Twitter. Also, in response to how this might affect STO, Terry replied:

Uuuh, where did you get that screenshot from? Is it a new trailer or some kind of tv spot? I have to see it in motion lol
Do you have a link for the twitter page?
Had to remember, it was funnily enough in a thread started by Thomas Marrone, but posted by another user:

No idea where they got it, and I don't have a twitter account to ask.
