    /screenshot_ui_jpeg

    That should do it.

    Or, if that doesn't do it, then the alternative:
    /screenshot_ui_jpg

    Hit "Print Screen" on your keyboard, paste into Paint, and save as your chosen picture file.

    'Print Screen' removes the hud and puts pics in your STO screenshots folder.

    For a time, I used FRAPS and that captured the HUD.

    Problem I an having just now is I get 'blank' jpg with no content!

    You can always use a program like Xfire, that keeps the hud in the screen shot and you can make in game vids too.

    Simply using the Print Screen key takes a screenshot without the interface. This method ignores any windows and other elements related to the interface instead of the environment.

    You can use the various /screenshot commands in the chat box. Typing "/screen" without the quotes should display a list of the various screenshot commands. You can toggle the interface as well as change the format of the image file saved.

    For example, /screenshot_ui_jpg will save a JPEG file with the interface included.

    Wait a minute, if you hit print screen it removes the UI? Dammit i've been flying around with alt-f12 up to take pretty screenshots!
