We've partnered with Intel to create the
Star Trek Online Architect, a web-based ship building game, hosted here on the Star Trek Online website. Head over to the
Architect section of the site, create and assemble your own ship, and enter a sweepstakes to win a replica TOS captain's chair, Intel processors and copies of Star Trek Online!

And I see you guys found a use for that Star Warsy music that we rejected during closed beta!
Next time you do something like this make sure that your customers outside the US can participate in it.
This action very very customer unfriendly. Especialy to those who do not live in the US.
Is that penalization for not being a US citizen gonna stop any time soon?
Hehe, to me it sound like they meshed Star Wars with the theme music in the movie Galaxy Quest. XD
Check it out for yourself at about 0:18 seconds in.

You know how long it took for them to add any other time zone to their messages other than PDT?
A really long time.
But anyways... The news should have a message about it only being for people in the US.
I always default directly to the rules before even bothering to check what it was all about... Then closed the tab.
Or to be more accurate Win prizes with STO Architect but only if you live within the 50 states we always put up competitions for
Whatever happened to We hope to offer contest to users outside the states the usual place cryptic puts stuff they want to do, but decide not to at the last minute?
Shouldn't this be called "Shipwright"? Last I checked, Architects designed buildings, not ships...
Last I checked, naval architecture is a field of human inquiry for thousands of years.
Depends whether or not you can sit in it.

Google. It's your friend
N.B. Woman does not come with chair.
Edit: OK, so Nigh****ch didn't work, but Blackwatch did? Is the Intellectual Property filter that touchy?
Oh, is that the problem then? I can type Night Watch but not Nigh****ch? Seriously?

lol i thought of that too... but in direct comparison... the Galaxy Quest one is a lot better
...i hope Cryptic didn't waste precious DEV hours on this horribly unprecise minigame?
I thought it was who can come up with the coolest Ship design contest thingy... but this is more like Tetris or something similar... and only Tier 1 Ships :-/
Though yeah... I think looking at it, Intel did most of the work. That being said. I haven't played IT Manager III: Hidden Forces since STO came out... BYE!
Once again, great pity that the European players are excluded.
Btw cryptic, your sweepstakes are once again a failure.
Once again you completely ignore your european fanbase.
Shame Sweden isn't one for the 50 states this contest is being offered to, Welcome to the EU Void buddy
Its not the Intellectual Property filter, its the profanity filter, take the last letter of Night and the first three letters of Watch, what do you get?
You mean they are going to be selling real physical items in the C-Store now?
