Design Hangar - Where is it?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I received the email early this morning (Nov 17) that there is a contest to design the next Enterprise, and that we should visit the "special Design Hangar".

Problem is I have looked around on the website and forums, and cannot find a thing about it.

Making this available would be nice.
Making the Design Hangar easy to find if it does exist would be even better.


For those of you who don't get the email:
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.

    Does this mean that Dec 9th is the release of season 3?

    Yay! Looks like a marketing BOff went and used their ability at the wrong moment, hopefully this will be fixed in an upcoming patch note :)

    I wonder what the design hangar will be like. I don't imagine we can make the ship look like anything we want...instead, it's probably a hundred different parts that we can put together in whatever configuration we want and call it the ship.


    Similar to the current ship builder, but with maybe more parts

    Thing is though, there is nothing on the main page that takes one to the link you posted, nor does the email sent out state anything about the December 9th date.

    ...just something that maybe the powers that be can check the next time before sending out this info.

    Grand Prize: Custom, STO-painted Alienware M11x laptop; STO Collector's Edition; STO Lifetime Membership; inclusion of design in STO; and a 3-D model of the winning design.

    I'm also going to assume this is only open to US residents, and everyone else is excluded....at least from the prizes.

    I'm really interested in this. I'd love to know if we will be assembling pre-made parts in a create-a-ship type interface or if we will be able to submit images of original designs.

    Would definitely be nice if we weren't limited to particular parts...otherwise where's the real creativity?

    Maybe having some general guide lines might not be bad, just so the ship conforms to past Starfleet design logic.

    Is it just me, or does the word next canon Enterprise make any one think of a possiable new show.

    I think a TV show is unlikely.

    I could maybe see an online/DVD exclusive.

    Moreover, I'm thinking the word "canon" here means they plan to push the design into the books, other games, merchandise, and comics.

    Most likely - same deal as the Titan

    Don't get too wrapped up in the word "canon" guys.

    Stormshade already posted in another thread that it won't actually be "canon" as far as CBS considers such things (even the Luna and Vesta aren't canon, they only appear in licensed books and not shows)

    Its just a little bit of marketing speech, sort of exaggerating that fact that it will be "acknowledged by CBS" - which differs it from all of the really excellent fan-made designs already in existence out there.


    I hope the Design Hanger is more than a mix-n-match tool of existing parts. Too many talented people out there who can create good things from scratch to limit them to mix-n-match.

    I think my brain is going into meltdown over this. And I hope you’re right man, I’ve done too many sketches over the years of my own ships to want to be limited to “Does this look ok? No, insert Saucer Design 4 with Window Design 2” But still, this is too cool not to pass up. And I’ll be PO’d so much if the idiots at the courthouse pick me for jury duty that week. The measly compensation they give you doesn’t cover gas money for the week let alone make up money you loose at work to pay for bills.
