They're most definitely trying to do it cheaply. 13 episodes of a well produced Star Trek series would cost near $100 million dollars per season, which is Game Thrones money.
TNG went off the air in 1994 because it cost $4 million an episode to produce. VFX aren't any less expensive today and as I calculated earlier, the CBS All Access app is going to need millions of subscribers every month to even pay for this new series, unless they do the shitty thing and throw advertising into each viewing.
I'll be shocked if this isn't a complete and utter failure.
