from what we've seen of the mid 22nd to the start of the 25th century (hell even the 31st but I pretend that doesn't exist), Star Trek is consistently based around warp, transporters, phasers, photon torpedoes, shields, saucers, and nacelles. progress is surprisingly slow, almost like the Star Wars universe where thousands of years don't really mean much for how things look or behave.
I think they can tell good new stories in any of these eras as long as they don't keep bumping into the Skywalker family, I mean Kirk and Picard's crews.
