Ive been getting a lot of Star Trek: Alien Domain ads on my facebook recently. And I dont know if ST:AD is designing their own ads or what but Ive been noticing a few STO images being mixed in to the ads.
Just today I saw an ad with STOs old sector space as one of the images. Its quite distinct and easily identifiable as STOs sector space prior to the changes.
Im sure ST:AD is licensed by CBS but I cant believe theyd be allowed to utilize images from STO to promote their game.

Since ST:AD is licensed under CBS this actually makes me wonder if CBS owns designs made by Cryptic, since they have to go through an approval process (or at least they did some time ago, don't know if that's still true). If it weren't for the licensing I would have assumed it was just another knockoff game trying to cover its lack of creativity by taking it from others.

Target marketing.
Over time your PC picks up small tracker from various places, those trackers track were you have been, since you play STO those trackers target you with related ads.
Dont get around the net much do ya? There are WAY worse out there. I will agree its a reskin of a very popular money sink p2win browser game genre though.
Im aware of that. You completely missed what I was talking about. It wasnt even that long of a post.

Theyre using images from Cryptic to advertise their game. Im aware that they have nothing to do with Crytpic. The point I was bringing up was that theres a company out there using imagery from Cryptic to draw players in. Possibly damaging Crtypics image in the process.
Every trek fan needs to watch Legend Of The Galactic Heroes.
