Monthly Screenshot Contest: October - Submit Yours Now!

edited November 2015 in The Art of Star Trek Online
Hi fellow Captains,

October has dropped on us. The Iconian War may be over, but our duty never ends. Which means it's time for a new theme for our Monthly Screenshot Contest.

And since Captain Jan is not fond of irrelevant discourses either, without further delay, here is your theme for October:

October's Theme: "For The Empire - On Duty"

It is a good day month to honor our Klingon warriors and their allies. I want to see your Klingon (KDF-faction character, not limited to Klingons, of course), or otherwise with KDF allied characters in action. There's no limit as to how you will express that - It can be the ships, your characters, as you go through the missions, and play the content.

Again, Photoshop alterations and other creative means, such as Demo Record Tool are encouraged, but remember, it has to be your work and no usage of 3rd-party content.

To summarize:
  • Post a screenshot/picture of your KDF character/ship, as you run through any content of your choice.
  • KDF-Allied Romulan characters/ships welcome.
  • Try to be a little creative; pick good shots from your space/ground missions!
  • Tools like Photoshop or taking screenshots from Demorecord Tool, from the demos you recorded are perfectly within rules!
  • Only one entry per one user.
  • Entering the contest with more than one account, to bypass the "one entry per user" rule WILL get you disqualified.
  • Have fun!

I expect you to do your best on your missions and share some of the glorious moments with me and the rest of the community team, through the screenshot contest, Warriors.

PRIZES:

1st Prize = 1500 ZEN + Your screenshot gets made into an Official STO Wallpaper!

2nd Prize = 1000 ZEN

3rd Prize = 500 ZEN

FEW RULES:
  • All images must be at least 1920x1080 for submission. Or larger.
  • One entry per month per author. You can re-entry next month if you don't win.
  • Images not meeting the size-requirement will not qualify for the grand- prize of being converted into a wallpaper!
  • All images must be submitted in JPEG form. If you add any graphic elements to your picture, make sure you do keep the .PSD file, in case you win!
  • Adding custom flavor to your image is encouraged! (Ie. editing in Photoshop)
  • Absolute must - All images must be purely made by using Star Trek Online visual assets. Don't use any TV series/movies pictures!
  • No usage of third-party 3D models. As above. Your entries must be done purely by using STO visual assets and/or your creativity. (Photoshop editing - it HAS to be your work)

A LITTLE HOW TO:

All entries must be at least 1920x1080. There are few ways how to get a good picture.
  • Type "/renderscale 2" (or larger number, but needs stronger computer/GPU) into your chat window before you take the image.
  • Type "/screenshot" to take image.
  • This will create a large .TGA file in the directory, which you can convert in Photoshop, to fit the required size.
  • Additionally, you can edit your screenshot, to add custom perks to it, you deem fit! The only rule here is, again, and this is emphasised - it must be your work!
  • You can find your screenshot folder in "\Star Trek Online\Star Trek Online\Live\screenshots" - that being a rule of thumb on most computers

Good luck to everyone who enters, looking forward to seeing your entries, Warriors! Qapla'!

    I know I'll get disqualified since I'll add more than one image.
    But to at least get this started, I dug deep in my vault:
    Raid and pillage and kill any opposition!

    I have a bad feeling about this.

    Look at all this beauty.

    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Can we submit pics of Klingon FED captains, or is it faction-specific?

    Nope, only KDF this month. You'll have your chances again, at a later time! :)

    OK guys, i must go public with this as @pwlaughingtrendy is ignoring me totally.

    I have won 2nd place on august screenshot contest and after the announcement of winners i waited for some time till i send a msg. to @pwlaughingtrendy on her arc wall...she answered me that she take care of it and that i should have it...but i still did not have it, so she done something and there was 1000 ZEN in my history ( http://i.imgur.com/2muNG5g.png ) but no way to transfer it to the game...so i told here that and she again told me that i should have a blue button to transfer the zen in game, but i do not have it, so i send here a msg. again that i do not have it and this S.S. that is showing that: http://i.imgur.com/AH4ABjA.png and from that time on there is no msg, from here...she is writing to other peoples msgs but not my.
    Last msg. i have received was on September 24, and yea i have try to contact her on reddit but without luck.

    They probably try to do something but it still did not work...cuz now in my history there is no zen, but 10$...that i again cant use.
    http://i.imgur.com/CEefUfv.png

    So yea i now do not know where is the problem...dose pwe/cryptic do not know how to solve this, in this case she should contact me and say so, or dose someone do not do the job that should do.

    LLAP.

    Awww... I know this doesn't qualify, but I didn't know (yesterday, when I took the screen shot) that it didn't take full size monitor screen shots. :s:'( Still, I love the shot, and doubt I could replicate it very easily, so I will post anyway. Maybe I might vie for Honorable Mention.

    So, this is my Reman-KDF toon running around the Dyson Sphere trying to help out with the cause.

    I'd recommend to upload your screenshot on imgur, that way you can have it directly in the post too. :)

    Hi, @goodscotch.

    Thank you for posting, but - Please just one submission per month, per user. Also aim to have your entries with size of 1920x1080 or higher, as in case you'd win, that's the minimum size required, to be made into a wallpaper. :)

    I kept one and removed the rest and also changed the size to 1920x1080.

    Thanks!
