This might just be the coolest Star Trek Online giveaway we’ve ever done, and we’ve done a lot of ’em! In celebration of the epic sci-fi MMORPG’s 10th anniversary, Perfect World and Cryptic have granted us some amazing prizes for our readers, including Federation Fleet Admiral Faction Packs for PC, T6 Europa-Class Heavy Battlecruiser keys for PC, and Federation Elite Starter Pack keys for PC, and – best of all – a real-life, physical Limited Edition STO Anniversary Badges.
You guys, there were audible sobs from MOP’s writers when they saw how geeky-cool these badges are. Two of them threatened to quit just so they could enter the sweepstakes. Lucky for you (and for me), they were kidding! Read on to enter to win and get the details on all the prizes!
For this giveaway, we’ll be using Rafflecopter to count the entries for us! You can earn entries in the giveaway by completing different steps in Rafflecopter; the question field is mandatory, but following us on Twitter, tweeting about this giveaway, and leaving a comment are optional and result in more entries. Rafflecopter uses javascript, so you’ll need to enable it to see the entry widgets below:
- 3 gold-prize winners selected at random from the total of entries submitted to Rafflecopter will be contacted via email by Massively Overpowered to receive a Star Trek Online Limited Edition STO Anniversary Badge (physical prize) and a code for the Federation Fleet Admiral Faction Pack for PC (digital prize).
- 50 silver-prize winners selected at random from the total of entries submitted to Rafflecopter will be contacted via email by Massively Overpowered to receive a code for a Star Trek Online T6 Europa-Class Heavy Battlecruiser for PC (digital prize).
- 500 bronze-prize winners selected at random from the total of entries submitted to Rafflecopter will be contacted via email by Massively Overpowered to receive a code for a Star Trek Online Federation Elite Starter Pack for PC (digital prize).
Entrants are subject to our official contest and giveaway rules and cheaters will be disqualified. Entries will be accepted until the sweepstakes’ end on Tuesday, February 18th, at 12:00 a.m. EST (midnight Monday night). We’ll draw the winners and send out keys and redemption instructions by the following Wednesday evening (EST), so make sure you’ve submitted a working email address in Rafflecopter. Gold prize winners will be contacted by Massively OP for name, mailing address, email address, and phone number for dispatch to Perfect World, which will be shipping the physical badges. If we receive no response after a week, we’ll move on to the next consecutive silver winner until all three gold prizes are claimed.
International gamers, I have good news for you: PWE says it will ship anywhere in the world, so this sweepstakes is open to everyone. (Digital items, of course, will work only in the regions where STO currently operates, and only on PC.)
Here’s a run-down of what’s in all the packs!

T6 Europa-Class Heavy Battlecruiser: The Europa-class Heavy Battlecruiser is well-suited to the frontiers of the Federation, whether the mission is one of exploration or defense efforts.
