    I've got a question. Recently deleted my character and started over. Before I post the new crew, is there a way ingame to change the default size of the screenshots? I've seen some posted here that are larger than the default, but wasn't sure if they were enlarged in photoshop, or if I can change the default.

    I'm not sure, but I do believe it will take the shot at whatever resolution you have set.

    Up in the top-right corner, click on Game Menu (computer icon)
    Click on Options
    Click on Video

    Set your resolution at the highest that your computer will support. That should get you the largest screencaps possible. You can mess around with the other settings in there to adjust the quality.

    Some people are just taking screencaps and then cropping them and resizing them larger though. Doing that will only give you a pixelated image. You don't want to upsize an image as it'll create pixels that don't exist, resulting in "jaggies".

    Hope that helps.

    I'm running STO at 1920x1080 which is my native desktop resolution, but I'm resizing them a little smaller to help quality (and download times) a bit. This one was taken at 1920x1080, resized to 1280x720 and exported at 100% quality in Photoshop. Decent size/quality/filesize trade off I think.

    To get this look with the starfield background, visit the tailor and take screenshots from there. If you want the spacedock background, you can take the screenshots at the login screen. The 'tailor' method is the only way to get a good screencap of your BOffs without savign their config and creating a new character and loading up the cofig.

    Ok, thanks. I'll try that.

    I love the character editor and started on a theme for my first toon Science Capt. Alice's crew of the USS Jabberwock:

    alicescrew2.jpg

    Then I started my borg Engineer Captain - her crew of the USS Detroit:
    Whosmycrew.jpg

    and I'm already planning the crew for my 3rd tactical toon Dorothy (USS Tornado):
    dotscrew.jpg


    They may not be totally trek but it adds a twist of fun.

    My BF started doing it too but he does Batman Villans: His Joker and Riddler are totally awesome.

    That's true, it's not really "trekky" but it's very well done nonetheless and I like your ideas a lot.

    Lieutenant Commander T'Paar (chief of security)

    And then just to see if I could, I made this guy. His name is Thrawn and his ship is the Chimera.

    Awesome uniforms, best I've seen yet! I'm really jealous that most of you have good systems to crank up the visual settings. I'm on low settings so I don't get to see the shiny leather or rubberized uniforms. :(

    You guys are so generous with your positive feedback. Thank you!

    Like many of us, I spent a LONG time in the character creator playing with uniform options. I love many of the designs. It was tough narrowing them down.

    I've been amazed by the creativity of these postings. This is definitely a subscriber worthy thread.

    I know my character and my first officer look alike. I'm not very good at getting the character editor to make people look exactly how I want them to.

    As for the three female members of my command crew, I left them as I got them from Starfleet Command (with some small modifications, like height). I didn't touch their facial features at all.

    I have a question. I've noticed some people change the link to their characters name, instead of the long link. How do you do this? Sorry, I have no computer skills.
