What we know at the moment

Since the collapse of Perpetual Entertainment in Feburary 2008, many people have been wondering what the fate of Star Trek Online is.

Perpetual stated at the time that devlopment of Star Trek Online had been passed to another bay area developer, however since that time, we have not seen or heard anything about our beloved MMORPG.

Speculation has been arife about who could possibly have the development rights to Star Trek Online - with some people suggesting Bethesda or "Blissovision" - however the hot favorite until now has been Cryptic Studios.

Well, it appears that we may well be on the road to getting an answer of sorts to the question - "Are Cryptic Studios Developing Star Trek Online" with the appearence on the Cryptic Studios homepage, of a mysterious countdown timer, with an unmistakeably Sci-Fi Esque background picture - which some people have speculated is very similar to some of the early concept art for STO from Perpetual.

UPDATE:  Thanks to some help from Demosthenes, former owner of the now shut down STOnet, we are now able to confirm that the image used on the Cryptic Timer is from Perpetual Entertainments Concept Art for Star Trek Online.

Here is a scan from the Gamer Informer Magazine from an article on STO from Perpetual, publisehd shortly before the closure of Perpetual.

It would appear that we now have some concrete confirmation that Crytic is developing STO!!!!
