Star Trek Online releases Destiny class starship video
Back in January, Star Trek Online announced the winners of their ship naming contest. The winning ship classes included the Destiny class, which are Tier 5 science vessels. Cryptic recently released a handy video showing off the Destiny class going through its paces, and ZAM.com was lucky enough to get some stats on the ship as well as the video. You can take a look here for all the details, but the short version is this: it's a huge ship with the capability for long term solo missions or shorter term fleet support. It supports a crew of 500. Check out the video of this new class after the jump, and then visit the Star Trek Online site to keep an eye out for more information on the new ship classes!
Winners announced in STO's ship naming contest
Cryptic's gone and announced the winnings names (and prizes!) for their ship naming contest. You can see all three Tier 5 ship name here, and of course there's friendly screenshots to go along with the name. If you're just looking to know the names for each of the three ship archetypes, we can help there. T5 Cruisers will be known as Emissary Class, Escorts have been named Dervish Class and Science vessels of the T5 variant are named Destiny Class. Each winner of the contest is set to receive a Digital Deluxe Edition of Star Trek Online as well as a poster featuring the ship they've named. For everyone else who submitted a name, the special in-game title "Utopia Planetia Staff" will be given. Wearing it will tell everyone in the game you've participated in the contest, which we have to admit is a nice consolation prize. There's certain to be future naming contests as well and we're looking forward to that -- especially since it means new ships for the game!
