We first told you about Star Trek Online‘s new 3D-printed ship model program last month, and we’ve now got more details about the company’s plans and pricing for this new project!
Star Trek Online executive producer Steve Ricossa gives a brief overview of the program and options in the video which premiered online last week:
Pricing for the 12-inch starship models, 3D printed on demand, has also been announced, with final product options including unpainted, single-color, and full-color finishes, depending on users’ preferences and price range.
Collectible Version: Base Price: $350
Captains can commission one of the company’s master artists to hand-paint a premium, full-colored resin model of their starship, which includes detailed shading. Exceptional artistry and focus is placed on each individual ship.
Single Color Version: Base Price: $225
Captains can order a 3D-printed model of their starship, painted in either gold, silver, bronze or black. The model is polished, finished and ready for display.
Primer Version: Base price: $200
Model painters and hobbyists can order a primed model of their favorite starship, coated in a base layer of primer and ready to be painted.
Players who access Star Trek Online via PC will have the opportunity to upload their custom starship designs right into Mixed Dimensions’ servers, the production company building the models. For non-PC players, there will be non-customized versions “replicating 20 of the game’s most popular starships,” according to the official STO blog.
There are also a series of ships which will not be available for printing, including the Crossfield-class and Walker-class from Star Trek: Discovery, as well as the Vesta-class series (best known to Trek novel fans as the starship design of Ezri Dax’s USS Aventine).
All the details about the new program can be found at the STO news blog and the GamePrint.net ordering site. The team behind the model program also answered fan questions on Reddit last Friday to address more specific game and product inquiries.
