I Cant believe it, its freaking true!!!

YES!!

Cryptic is a great company, and I believe they can really do this thing with Star Trek, the right way.

This seriously almost 100% confirms it.

O and BTW nice find man, I believe we should use this thread to start speculating on how the game wil lbe done. Go ahead!

I almost couldn't believe it myself when I saw it. I stared at it for about 5 min before it really hit me LOL. Ive been watching there site since rumors broke out that they bought the IP.  If this is what it looks like then im really excited about the future of STO.

In case anyone else hasnt heard Cryptic recently anounced that they are adopting a full skill system, with levels for champions online. Basically You get to choose any skills you want at the beginning of the game, and further diversify your character later on by choosing more. Making it limitless in the types of classes you can create.

I think this will be a great mix of traditional leveling and skill based leveling.

With this said, I think they have seem through the champion online community that people dont like levels, or for the most part they dont like being confined to one class, and have listened to them enough to change the core design of their game.

This to me speaks very highly about their personalities as developers.

In my opinion, i believe the game will feature a robost skill based system, and feature avatars and ship interiors as the community wanted.

Forgive me for being killjoy but I don't see how you came to the conclusion that the countdown timer has any thing to do with STO. Are you all see something isn't obvious to others? If so please explain. I know it has been rumored that Cryptic has picked up the STO licence but that's about it.

Meh, let us STO nerds have a few seconds of speculation fun :P

There has been tons of sources telling rumors of Cryptic picking up the title for months.

The thing im seeing that I guess your not is The Picture of Space the FInal God Damn Frontier right behind the countdown!!!

I mean, yes your right it could be anything it could be a sci-fi mmo thats original for all we know but we have been hearing about this STO mmo being transfered to cryptic for months now.

Its just simple deduction, Just because It isnt 100% doesnt mean it isnt the most logical assumption.

I could be wrong, yes, but I doubt I am, and if I am wrong, you can put this post in your sig ok?

If you look at the Pic that the Ticker is on its VERY close to pics that were released when STO was being done by Perpetual. Granted its not a given that its STO, and you cannot click on the link nor is there any info given at all on the site, but its the first real tangible evidence that all the rumors pointing at Cryptic as the company that bought the IP. Only time will tell.....in about 45 days

It may or may not be Star Trek related but I think I'll wait the 46 days and then know for sure before getting my hopes up. I got all fired up when PE first announced the STO project and we all know how that ended. Believe me, there is no one who would love to see Star Trek made into a killer MMO than me, but as Scotty once said, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Until there is official news, I'll keep the champagne corked.

It is the announcement of STO being in development.

Nothing new that we don't already know.

ZZZZZzzzzz....

Hah! Just as I thought. Another STO dead-end. Too bad. Save the confetti and bubbly for later. No party today or in 46 days.

They have on it on the main site for CO yes, and it says "Meanwhile" in comics normally meanwhile means "Batman is killing baddies" meanwhile... "This guy is doing this".

In other words for the CO site its saying "This is Champions Online" Meanwhile "We are also developing Star Trek Online".

The Fatal flaw in the asumption that the countdown has to do with Champions is that on the Cryptic page it clearly already has a Development tab under games for CO, and then another tab for the new game still under the games tab.

Why wouldnt they just put it under the appropriate CO tab if it was for CO. Also why doesnt it say Meanwhile on the cryptic page? O yes thats right becauce its relevant to the page because they are the one making it.

People need to use some simple deduction and logic before they jump to conclusions on these types of things. And just in case you hadnt seen, this STO Cryptic Idea isnt new, it was unoffically confirmed by TreKmovie.com, the same site that knew the new Trek Movie would be a prequel months before the rest of the press, and also confirmed the new line of Trek Themed events in las vegas before they were announced publically.

Here is the link.

Im open to discussion on this, but to disprove that it is in fact a STO MMO im going to need you to provide me with some hard evidence.

  Rightio...    Can't believe you just lashed out at me for posting a link.  Then of all things wanted to talk about who is assuming what !?!   All I did was post a link that you so obviously overlooked.   Then you get into talking about whos assumeing what.  then to top it off you want us to provide YOU with proof.  Who are you again? were't you making the claim? 

I actually was focusing my post on Keltic not you man, but either way, jut incase you cared, I just discovered the exact picture amoung concept art from Perpetual so its offical.

http://gaming.trekcore.com/startrekonline/downloads.html

Here the video that contains it,

and heres the screen itself wit hthe rest of the concept art.

http://gaming.trekcore.com/startrekonline/conceptart.html

There ya go guys its offical!

Also Heres a link to a magazine with the same picture

http://www.earth-force.net/Images/sto2.jpg

I fail to see how your associating Cryptic with that interview.   Everything I come up with on Ryan Dening associates him with PE.   The same for Greg Fallace.   It also appears that interview is from 07. Or rather in the area of  07  - Jan 08. .



As far as the renders go.  A lot of those are renders from PE while they were still hyping the game.  And before they pissed off the majority of the community with their changes.



While I have no reason not to believe Cryptic is not the developer.  A lot of reputable sites supposedly got leaked information from fired employee's and what not.    I do fail to see how your coming to the conclusion as those being evidence that they are in fact the developer.

 Ok so first question.   How are you tieing that interview to Cryptic when In 07 - Jan 08  PE I believe was still the developer but on its last leg.

Second question.  In case I am just blind, what screen shot on that page provides you with un questionable proof that Cryptic is the developer?

Nice find on the magazine pic. I guess we will find out in 45 Days. My hopes are up .

Ok..  The background from the timer is taken from the article( the top picture).  The article itself is old and worthless which is why I couldn't find the relation.  I was looking in the wrong spot.  Good find or whatever. I still don't think the timer is for ST:O.  Maybe an Easter Egg. 

Why would they hype it to compete with their current project? Its surely not a beta anouncement after only a few months.  If it is the game hasn't changed much from PE's design.

Beta....lol no. It'll just be the announcement that they are developing it. As of right now there's no official word on who if anyone is developing it. This could just be Cryptic's way of hinting it to start the hype.

Why wouldn't they hype all the projects they are working on? They are in the business to make money...you don't get money unless you generate interest in your product. This is just the start of that.

The two games would be targeting the same general market, MMO's...but they target different niche markets within the larger MMO market. EVE Online and SWG would be direct competitors for STO...among other Sci-fi MMO's. For Champions Online the only direct competitor they have is City of Heroes/Villains as they are the only comic book MMO I know of.

With that magazine shot it pretty much confirms Cryptic is the STO developer or at least are tied to it in some way. That much is clear from the use of the image.
