Something Interesting
Design The Next Enterprise
Seriously. We're working with our friends at CBS and Intel to turn the design of the next canon Enterprise over to you, Star Trek's most dedicated fans. Just visit our special Design Hangar and submit your version of the universe's most iconic spaceship. We'll convert the best design into a ship in Star Trek Online, but that's not where it stops.

Here are the prizes available:
• Grand Prize: Custom, STO-painted Alienware M11x laptop; STO Collector's Edition; STO Lifetime Membership; and a 3-D model of the winning design.
• Second Prize: Alienware laptop (no custom paint job), STO Collector's Edition and an STO Lifetime Membership.
• Third Prize: STO Collector's Edition, STO Lifetime Membership and an Intel Core i7-875k processor.
• Fourth Prize: STO Collector's Edition and an STO Lifetime Membership.
• Twenty-one Honorable Mentions: Standard-edition copy of STO and a Star Trek Online poster.

    2nd, 3rd, & 4th place winners should be 10 each.

    and 50 5th place winners get a Hummer with an "I play Star Trek Online" bumper sticker and personalized front plate with your avatar's name!!!!

    WOOT!!!

    J/K :D

    I've mentioned this in passing but I'd like to see them go this route with uniforms too and aim for Season 4 and a big winners announcement for the ship and uniforms for the one year anniversary of the game. Maybe try to get an actor from the shows doing VO for a featured series that month too as part of the celebration.

    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.

    I got mine a couple of hours ago. thing is Dstalh has already said its open to the US, and since the prizes have a monetary value US law prevents them from being open to those outside the US. (at least by my understanding of US law.)

    For those waiting on the Email, make sure you have signed up to receive News from Cryptic, otherwise you will be waiting a long time for the 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.

    I did get the e-meow, however I didn't see any place where to create the new Enterprise on the website. Must still be in development, I guess.

    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.)

    Oh TRIBBLE! I'm gone for a couple hours and my thread has three pages!

    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! :D

    I want that 3-D model sitting on my desk!
