I think a new standard uniform, a new Enterprise announcement, and a big Featured Series 4 launching with the revamped ground combat in Season 4 with an actor featured as part of the celebration would catapult this game into overdrive if that was the one year anniversary event and might get people who held off or left to treat it as a "second launch".
Besides, most Trek series start off rocky and then have a uniform change as they get better (particularly TNG, DS9, and Enterprise).
I think a uniform design contest would be exceedingly simple compared to ship design, since we'd just have a white paper doll in three varieties and maybe a box to design the combadge in -- and they could limit it to a standard prefab silhouette so it's just a new texture for an existing model.
For which time period are we making the new CANON enterprise
aye. still waiting on mine too.
I'm in the states and I haven't gotten mine either, I don't think it's a geographic thing..
hopefully not.
give me a C, givce me a R.
Ahh whatever, Go Cryptic, score one for that email.
Also I was searching the interwebz for Ideas for ship design, and there's a ton out there. I hope to see some originality, and not rip off's of stuff people have already done. Not saying any of you would do that.....Just sayin! :P
Well, the official contest rules should shed more light but the wording here coupled with Dstahl's shift recently towards calling it the Enterprise-F and "the next Enterprise" seems to imply 2409/2410.
Yes, your personal Email.
The page at the website says their upload tools will go live December 9th. I would like clarification on whether that means we should go ahead and draft formal designs (I have sketches already) or whether the tool will have prefab art that we place and deform, kinda like colorforms or GoAnimate cartoons, to create our design. (I could actually see it being something where we can place, resize, stretch, and deform assets to make the contest more accessible to more people as well as to ensure it has the right "look" to be quickly added in-game, as I could see Cryptic wanting it to show up February 2nd for the 1 year anniversary.)
Man this is gonna be gooood...
Win or not, just being able to participate in designing the next Enterprise.... wow...
I've been thinking about what design I'm going to submit and I think I'm going to go with something along the lines...hell, like I'm going to tell you!
I want that 3-D model sitting on my desk!
