Star Trek Online going where Del Taco lovers have gone before: Del Taco

by David Hinkle on Jan 21st 2010 11:20PM

CUUUUUUUPS

It's going to be a long time before mankind invents Replicator technology. Until then, we're all forced to fill our Geo Metros with dead dinos and drive on down to the Del Taco for sustenance like jerks. But, the usual reward of a scrumptious combination of tortilla, beef and spices won't be the only thing to greet you at the end of your trek: Star Trek Online is teaming up with Del Taco to offer some collectible game cups. You know, the same kind that you got for every other thing that ever launches ever. Oh, you also get a free game trial, but oh man cups with ships on them!

In addition to this megaton news item, we've also got two new Star Trek Online trailers, featuring the Cardassians and the Vigilant Class Starship. Set your mouse to click and you'll find them past the break.

I don't have any Del Taco's near me :(

They're only in sixteen states. Most are east of Texas.

Still, they're insanely popular. They make more money per store than Taco Bell.

Oops, that's West of Texas. Sorry.

Yeah, I haven't seen any around here in Texas, but they were all over the place when I went to visit Los Angeles.

Just like how most of the southern/western states have Jack in the Box, but a lot of northern ones don't

How successful are you in life?

No matter how hard you try, Premature Ejaculation Man will ALWAYS beat you to the punch (except this time- he's also very lazy).

Oh man, I LOVE Del Taco. Ironically, their burgers are spectacular.

Really? I love Del Taco(their macho combo burritos are insane), but I thought their burgers were gross. It tasted funny to me.

well, brb, i have got to go get a double beefy cheesy burrito.

And now I have to find out if one is close to me.

I'll stick with my burger king Star Trek glasses thank you!

I went last night.. the cups are silly, but every cup comes with a code to get a Type 8 Shuttlecraft pet! startrekonline.com/deltaco WELL WORTH the trip.

Like moth to the flame...

I kinda want to get one because I'm a little bit curious about the game.

Argh, I'm falling for this marketing ploy hook line and sinker. But I won't cave in, you won't get my subscription! See you in hell!

Honestly, I wonder how big this chain must be in the developer's area, because they aren't on the East coast, at all.

I mean, which would you rather go for? A chain that is exclusively West-coast, or a national chain? I guess it would depend on whether or not a chain was interested, but it still pisses me off that a promotion like this is exclusive to the West coast.

Well, not only are they huge in the west, I'd guess it was easier to get a deal with them than say, McDonalds or Burger King.

They're in 18 states.

You East Coast guys get everything, quiiiittt complainnninn'. You guys get White Castle, so its fair.

Everything? Excuse me but when a convention is brought up, who usually gets it? LA. Name a gaming convention, and it takes place on the west coast. We get one, PAX East, and it took a few years for that,

White Castle? North and extreme South of me.

Look, how about this?

You east coast guys can take Bush off our hands here in Texas, we'll build 1 Del Taco in every state on the east coast, and you can order these cups online... and did I mention you have to take Bush off our hands?

In exchange for that, you agree to spread the White Castle wealth and let us have David Caruso. Deal?

Hey fuck them, we east coasters get Sheetz and Sheetz kicks ass.

Yes, Sheetz is awesome.

You can have Caruso. Although, for the record, Miami doesn't have White Castle. Or Sonic. Or Jack in the Box. Or Fazolis. Let alone Del Taco and In & Out.

It is the home of the Home of the Whopper after all.

I like tacos.
I like Star Trek.
I like video games.
I like this.

Your avatar compliments your post so perfectly.

They're also offering a Type 8 Shuttlecraft in-game "pet" as part of the codes promo...which is the REAL reason to get the collector's cups.

You might have posted THAT in the article above, but that would have required someone to do some actual research or reading.

God forbid.

Two Star Trek fans, one Del Taco cup.

THERE ARE... FOUR... CUPS!!!

I'm upvoting as hard as I can. UNGH!

I went to del taco once. It felt like the bastard child of Burger King and Taco Bell. and their "hot sauce" tasted like pepper mixed with ketchup. but I guess everyone deserves a second chance I suppose.

Del Taco is F-ing GOOD !!!

Del Taco fish tacos are yummy. That is all.

There were no Del Tacos in the Chicago area until about 2 years ago when one opened near me. It didn't do well...and now they're gone again.

so yeah
