Monthly Screenshot Contest: April - Submit yours now!

Hi fellow Captains,

Many have wondered where the contests gone.. fear not, we are back, after a short hiatus!
And planning to stay around as well.

And with that out of the way - here's the theme for April!

April's Theme: "Time Travel"

Time travel... I often say "Do not fiddle with the time", really, just do not..bad, bad.. bad Jan! but we'll make an exception this month. The theme allows all of you to come up with the past & future themes; in any way you'd see fit. Ships? Characters? Locations? All flies just greatly.

For one F.A.Q. - To upload your screenshots, use a public hosting service, such as www.imgur.com and then post its' URL with the

To summarize:

• No need to limit yourself; you can go back in time and to the future as well! Ships? Your characters? Locations? All up to your preference.
• Tools like Photoshop or taking screenshots from Demorecord Tool, from the demos you recorded are perfectly within rules!
• Only one entry per one user.
• Entering the contest with more than one account, to bypass the "one entry per user" rule WILL get you disqualified.
• You can edit your entry throughout the month's contest at your leisure. Just edit your entry with another picture if you want/need to.
• Have fun!

Have fun!

PRIZES:

1st Prize = 1500 ZEN + Your screenshot gets made into an Official STO Wallpaper!

2nd Prize = 1000 ZEN

3rd Prize = 500 ZEN

FEW RULES:

• All images must be at least 1920x1080 for submission. Or larger.
• One entry per month per author. You can re-entry next month if you don't win.
• Images not meeting the size-requirement will not qualify for the grand- prize of being converted into a wallpaper!
• All images must be submitted in JPEG form. If you add any graphic elements to your picture, make sure you do keep the .PSD file, in case you win!
• Adding custom flavor to your image is encouraged! (Ie. editing in Photoshop)
• Absolute must - All images must be purely made by using Star Trek Online visual assets. Don't use any TV series/movies pictures!
• No usage of third-party 3D models. As above. Your entries must be done purely by using STO visual assets and/or your creativity. (Photoshop editing - it HAS to be your work)

A LITTLE HOW TO:

All entries must be at least 1920x1080. There are few ways how to get a good picture.

• Type "/renderscale 2" (or larger number, but needs stronger computer/GPU) into your chat window before you take the image.
• Type "/screenshot" to take image.
• This will create a large .TGA file in the directory, which you can convert in Photoshop, to fit the required size.
• Additionally, you can edit your screenshot, to add custom perks to it, you deem fit! The only rule here is, again, and this is emphasised - it must be your work!
• You can find your screenshot folder in "\Star Trek Online\Star Trek Online\Live\screenshots" - that being a rule of thumb on most computers

Good luck to every participant. Be Efficient!
