Won't happen for a few years; Abrams is currently the designated caretaker of Trek and so a series won't even be considered until after his ST2 is done.
Foster envisions his series as a return to Roddenberry’s original concept. “[W]hile Star Trek has moved on with other series that were not exactly in line with Gene’s original vision, the roots are there to tap into,” he said. Don’t expect something too old-fashioned, though — Foster also lists Joss Whedon, Ron Moore, Manny Coto, and J. Michael Straczynski as his inspirations on his site.
Timeline-wise, the new series will very definitely be moving forward. The show will take place in the post-Voyager era, and will remain faithful to pre-2009 canon as well as Star Trek: Enterprise canon. (Since Abrams’ 2009 film took place in an alternate timeline, Foster’s story would not be in conflict with Abrams’.)
It looks interesting. Though I'm not sure CBS would really be happy with two totally different series of the same franchise going on at once...especially when they basically ignore each other, canon wise.
At least for the overlap of DS9 and Voyager it could be said that they really had nothing to do with each other (even though there was a small amount of overlap in a couple of places). Unless Foster can somehow indicate that he has taken the 'present' events of Abrams into account (i.e., something like how STO has handled nuTrek), I can't see how that would work out. It would just confuse the casual viewer.
I'm not saying that there's a problem with changing the franchise; I'm saying the problem is running two separate versions of the same franchise simultaneously in two different unique continuities.Franchises get violated all the time and it's never a barrier to success, such as when Abram's made the 11th movie.

You'd have Star Trek: The Movies and Star Trek: The TV Show that are totally and utterly different and don't even pretend to share anything between them. I think that's where the problem would lie.

Annnnd the first XF thread by SBs has been derailed after just 4 pages. It's a record!
Doesn't the Odyssey get a lot of wacky upgrades later on in the series? If so, it possibly wins. If not, the Ent-E phasers it to death.So the question now is.
Enterprise E
VS
USS Odyssey
Who would win
