    while in game press alt+f12....this will remove the hud.
    then press print screen key on keyboard.


    paste in any photo editing program and save

    The Print key is your friend...
    Pressing it saves a screenshot (without interface) into your STO folder :D
    edit: At least, it was that way in beta.

    You dont have to remove the HUD first.

    Just pressing Print Screen will take a screenshot with the HUD auto removed.

    Thanks. What if your keys do not actually say "Print Screen"? I am using a MAC keyboard

    Okay. Thanks. I was able to take a screen shot. Does alt-F12 work on a Mac to remove the hud?

    do /screenshot

    it should hopefully come up with an auto list and one being screenshot_ui or screenshot_ui.jpg

    that should do it :)

    Can someone tell me where this mythical screenshot folder is in the STO folder? I can't seem to locate it.

    For Vista; search for "public", click the folder, games, cryptic studios, STO, live, then screenshots. Creat short cut, paste to desktop. Admire your uber pwnage.
