I use Steam's built in screen capture gizmo when I want to take screen shots while playing STO, but my problem is I can't figure out how to make the UI not show. I've tried looking on line but I haven't had any luck, so could someone here help me out?
A Trill, a Gorn, a Jem'Hadar, Bejoran and a Voth walk into a bar, and the Bartender asks "What is this a Joke?"
"Nope, just my away team" the trill replies before ordering a round for the bar.

    Alt+F12 deactivates the UI, but it is hard to play while it is off.

    I actually like Delta Rising.

    I'm a bit wary of hitting the F12 key, as on my laptop that's the one that controls my wifi, but if that's what the trick is, so be it.

    Using steam's screenshot gizmo that's the only way. You can use the game's screenshot commands to get a UI-less screenshot without having to turn the UI off, but then you won't get auto uploads to your steam cloud.

If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.

    This is what I was getting until I changed my screen shot key to a different keybind: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/487824553619982104/59A628B039D94DAD47334B1490BBE61E297D2FDA/

    I changed mine from the f12 default to f10 since it isn't being used on my computer. This is how it is now: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/486698014822341461/AE2673A795819D88E100818855DE4111FB7463C4/

    On your steam home page:
    View -> settings -> In game -> Screenshot shortcut key
    Any change made you'll have to restart steam for it to take effect.
