New contest from Star Trek Online: Name That Ship

During the development of Star Trek Online, an underlying theme has begun to emerge from the powers-that-be at Cryptic: they want to know what the community thinks as they progress.

Now they are taking it up a notch and letting the community compete for naming rights in their "Name This Ship" contest. Cryptic has introduced three new Tier 5 Starship classes to their upcoming game, and they're feeling generous. They're asking the community to check out the images of the new classes, "squeeze a bit of creativity juice out of your brain and into your fingers, and submit a suitably awesome name you deem appropriate."

The winners will receive the Digital Deluxe Edition of Star Trek Online, a poster of their ship, and something that we love almost as much as tangible prizes: bragging rights. The winners will have the unique in-game title of "Starship Designer."

The winners will be announced January 8th, so check out the official site for the full list of rules and details, and good luck!
