like the rest say 'front page.'

Edit, and now it works just a tiny bit.

Can we get these in 1440x900, please? C'mon... you know you want to. :D

I don't understand why more wallpapers aren't made for 1440x900, it's one of the more popular resolutions, especially on laptops.

Ok everyone, grab your tricorders and let's start investigating this anomoly! :p

Should be working now.

Hmm... I'd like to put in my recommendation that Razor be promoted to Chief Science Officer... He got the anomoly fixed for us before I could even finish getting my tricorder out. :D

Anyway, they look sweet. Don't know which one to use, but I know I'll put all 4 into a cycle as my screensaver.

Arachnidus
10-06-2008, 03:51 PM
Small question, is there any chance of us seeing a 1440x900 resolution version of these?

Edit- Meant 1440x900

Someone has already put me in the role of Chief Engineer (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/Lord_dave/razorscotty.jpg).

What do I get if we make that? :D

Kidding aside, the aspect ratio for 1440x900 is the same as 1680x1050, so you can use that in the interim and set the wallpaper to "Stretch" in Windows (if it's not set to that already). Should still look okay :)

Tested it out, worked a little odd(I think Vista does it somewhat sloppily), so I re-sized it in Photoshop, works great. Still, stretch should work for everybody else.

Once again, great wallpapers.

Thanks for the wallpapers! I'm especially fond of the one that was used as the cover of Game Informer. Hope to see more soon!

EDIT: Any chance we can get some 1024x768 versions of these? I don't have a monitor that big and it looks really pixelated at a lower resolution.

Thank you very much for providing these! I had been using an older Star Trek Online wallpaper, but I already switched to one of the new wallpapers!

Concept Art... Klingon Planet... Borg Planet... Logo Art... well at least two of them look like screenshots so I can't complain.

Does anyone else think that house in the woods looks very similar to the house where Kirk was chopping wood in Generations? While he was inside the Nexus or whatever it was called?

I could get a background from the plain screan shots, but these are cool anyway.

Im posting a complaint. Generically. I don't want this to be the only thread where someone didn't point out something wasn't canon. It would be lonely. Somethings not right with one of those wallpapers, and I'm going to find it....soon.

Seriously, though, they are pretty sharp.

i know atleast one of them is a screenshot (or atleast seems like one) and that is the village in the woods :D


all in all they are awesome thank you!

The ships look dirty. Like they were parked on Vulcan during a storm and they couldnt find a car wash in orbit.

I know many people have probably pointed it out but if possible can we get 1440x900 please :D

I especially like how much this wallpaper (http://files.startrekonline.com/wallpapers/Wallpaper-03-1920x1200.jpg) resembles the concept art we saw from Perpetual:

Such as this bench thingy which you can see in the foreground of the wallpaper: http://ff.247xs.nl/startrekonline/conceptart15a.jpg
And the metal poles and buildings are taken from this concept art: http://ff.247xs.nl/startrekonline/conceptart7a.jpg

Very nice! :)

They are great wallpapers! Please keep them coming?!

Any chance of a fun-fan Wallpaper creation contest to see who can use currently released imagery from Cryptic of the STO game and create the best fan STO wallpaper? :)

I have to say I'm a tad disappointed that the ships could not be in game shots. But they are cool looking ships all the same. Definately a departure from the traditional style seen in the shows.

Great wallpapers!

Thanks for the third one (planet in space). I've always kept my icons on the left side of the screen, and yet every wallpaper I''ve seen puts interesting stuff on the left edge -- stuff which gets obscured by my icons.

Finally someone made a wallpaper which puts the coolest bits to the right, where I have the empty space to fill.

Thanks!

KOS

PS: Something with actual Starfleet characters in it would be welcome too. I'm just sayin' ...

Already got the ships one up as my background.

Razor/Kestrel/whomever, please give a pat on the back to the graphic designers for getting these together for us. =)

using the one with the building on it. it appears to be a klingon type place. if you look at the bottom left near the out-building there are 2 (npc's?) next to it, look like klingons to me. hard to say though.


i wonder if we are going to get any exclusive papers for being part of the community b4 launch. or veteran reward type things

Pretty neat wallpapers, but I'm confused about what the two starships are supposed to be. I know the one in the back is a Galaxy-refit, but what's the front one? A prototype for a new class in the game?

This is actually the same as the cover on the latest Game Informer as well.

The ship in the foreground looks like a refit Sovereign class ship, but the registry number begins with NX, which makes it seem like it's a prototype for another class. A mess up on the artist's part, or is Cryptic simply making another ship class that looks awfully like the Sovereign? We may never know until the game's launch. =)

I like the starship wallpaper but I could go without the border and maybe the label. Hope we get some more starship wallpapers.

The border around the wallpaper is too distracting and the STO label on top is too big. It could be made smaller and put in a corner or gotten rid of entirely. First rule of photography, make the picture all about the object(s) in it. Too much background or anything in the foreground will distract from what you want someone to look at.

Wow they look good!!!! I have the 2 starships set as wallpaper now :D

Sweet wallpapers! I chose the STO logo to start with. I think I'll keep that as background for a month or so then choose one of the others. Well done Cryptic Studios and thanks!!!

Any chance we can get some 1064x764 versions of these? They don't look good when they are scaled down, very pixelated. Thanks!

Hah, I'm gonna make that my wallpaper now Razor, muahhaha!

I do love the real wallpaper though. Is that a Klingon in the second one? Couldn't tell. Please give us more over time. Also more concept art.

Cool wallpapers.
However those Klingons are next to what looks to me like some Vulcan library from perpetual's concept art. Also the bench on the right with the green cushion is Vulcan too.
Check out this link to see what I mean http://startrek-games.com/startrekscreenshots/displayimage.php?album=164&pos=27

It's entirely possible that the Klingon's raided this Vulcan library

I've done the same :D and don't you think that skill would be better at Tactical? A good CTO would mean less redshirts dying from an attack because the Chief Tactical Officer is an idiot that can barely fire a hand phaser, much less fire the ship's phasers... but that's not very fun, is it? Squirm, little redshirts, SQUIRM!

Here is a gift to all the star trek fans out there that did not know about this new project. www.startrekofgodsandmen.com This is a low budget movie directed by Tim Russ who also played Tuvok. Considering that it is a low budget movie I found it very good. I don't want to spoil anything but you are going to find a lot of familiar characters in this movie. It is about one hour a thirty minutes long. Like I said, it is a low budget movie but it was done nicely. I am a big Star Trek fan and I have to be honest that I loved it.

Again the website is www.startrekofgodsandmen.com
