Before you scroll down the page to see if you're the lucky person(s), I need to thank a few people without whom this article series and contest would not have been as successful as it has been. Back when the conversation started about starship design, I had no idea how far it would evolve, or how you would react to it. As the process grew and it evolved into a contest, the support I've had from Cryptic has been wonderful.
  • Thank you to Thomas (aka @Cryptic_TtC ), without his eager and in-depth replies to my questions, this process would never have been possible;
  • A HUGE hug to Morrigan (aka @LaughingTrendy) & STO for her shepherding the review process and wrangling the Zen bonus for the prizes;
  • I can't thank the guys at The SHOW enough for their highly vocal support in raising awareness of my blog and the contest;
  • /r/sto for allowing my frequent and sometimes bothersome posts in the Reddit forums;
  • YOU for following along through this journey.

So without much more, here are the Winners:

Third Place - 900 lobi ship of your choice + 500 Zen goes to: @nak3dsnake

Second Place - Jem'Hadar Strike Ship (you pick the variant) + 1000 Zen: @sentinel64

Drum roll please.....

First Prize - an Annorax Science Dreadnought + 1500 Zen: @kiriamaya

Winners will be notified in game to arrange a time to receive the ship; @LaughingTrendy will reward the zen in-game.



Thank you everyone!

    Congratulations to the winners.

    And a thank you again for the blogs. They were interesting and gave a good insight into what it takes to get a ship ready for play. At least from the artists side. MIght be interesting to know how long it takes on the game designer side... ;)

    Very cool. Grats to the winners!

    The blog series was quite interesting too. I do love reading about the behind the scenes stuff like that every now and then.

    Congratulations to winners! It was an interesting blog, especially because it was about starship, and I do like to design my own starships too. Hope something like this happens in the future again, soon :smile:

    Will be posting a post-mortem about the contest later this week for the analytics fans out there. Touch base on what we learned form the answers, how to run it better next time, and some background on the people who read the article.

    I learned quite a bit.

    If you need any idea for future blogs with dev involvement: I would really like to know what all goes into the creation of a new item - something like the Warhead Console of the Defiant or a new reputation set item. Who is involved? What steps are required? How long does it take from the idea to the first actual start of work, to the end when it is finally ready to go into the game.
