If I ever get something off the ground, I won't be messing with canon so much as the players. My idea is to run a campaign set early in the NG era, about contemporary with the launch of the Enterprise (uncomfortable uniforms and all).
The premise involves an Admiral with an axe to grind regarding the legendary James T. Kirk and his exploits who assigns the PC's ship the task of re-visiting the worlds Kirk's Enterprise encountered on its original five year mission, in order to verify his reports and provide situational updates. As such, I'll play with canon in regards to some things not being quite what the players remember from the original series, while other things would be a straight-up tribute to the old girl.

'That may be the case, Commander, but here's the truth of it: My great-grandfather was in Starfleet back in Kirk's time. And the fact was that Kirk had some very staunch supporters. That served him well, because he also had any number of people whom he angered with his constant glory-hounding and disregard for regulations. And it was widely believed in Starfleet that, every so often, he would file utterly preposterous reports, just to tweak those individuals whom he knew didn't like his style and his way of doing things. Such as the incident with the giant killer amoeba. And that totally ridiculous alleged occasion in which his fist officer's brain was stolen. I mean, come on people. Clearly, these things could not have happened. Every time you heard uncontrolled laughter ringing up and down the hallways of Starfleet Command, you could tell that Kirk had filed another one of his whoppers." - Admiral Edward Jellico
