Are STO Steam Achievements on the way?

I see over on Steam they are advertising the
STO Deluxe Edition & to the Top Right it
states: "Steam Achievements". Price is
$7.50 for the game. Cheap!

I've known for some time that Steam Achievements
are not available in STO. Is this changing? If
it is then I'll happily buy the game for the low
low price of $7.50 to get the achievements
feature. But if it is not, I guess the advertising
is in err.

They got the Steam Champions Online version for
$9.99 & it has Steam Achievements. I've actually
been waiting for a sale to buy CO off of Steam
to get those achievements. :)

    P'shaw! I like having them. It gives a mark of where I've
    been. I subscribe to giantbomb.com & from there you
    can see all of your combined achievements from 360,
    WoW, and Steam. It's nice to have a record. It's like
    a mini-game in & of itself!

    Not everybody likes it, but I don't tell everybody they should. ;)
    They did it for CO, seems fair they should have an
    STO one as well. Especially if Steam is gonna advertise
    it that way.

    Errata: the "steam achievements" ad is on the top left of
    the STO deluxe edition ad, not the top right on the steam
    sale page.

    Unavailable in the UK unfortunately, or I'd have bought copies for as many friends as I could! Unless you know a way - I'd really appreciate if you do. I tried a proxy (not very secure but a moot point considering it didn't work at all) but that was no good.

    Extremely unlikely.
    As STO already has an in-game achievement system that does not require a junky third party program.

    Exclusive items definitely work, and you get 500 C-Points.

    I _think_ the days would work as well, assuming you haven't bought the Digital Deluxe version elsewhere.

    hmm, i don't think i'm gonna risk buying it then, i don't think just the items and the c-points are worth it.
    I have the regular retail version.

    edit:
    according to the pre-order faq the game time stacks as well if i've read it correctly.
