I agree with Jack Emmert, if they do it right this has more portential to work out nicely than a MMO based on a comic universe or one based on Star Wars. In those things the story is always based around a core cast of very important persons (the super heros/villains/the jedi/the leaders of the dark side) so its difficult to do a mmo cause everyone wants to be or work with one of those few important and known guys which yeah, can´t work out. In Star Trek they have so many different crews on different ships/stations/worlds know to the masses that i imagine one could way easier position the player in one of the many sub plot areas and still make him feel important.

Hope they don´t screw it up.
