The man responsible for many of the starship designs in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/star-trek-online"><em>Star Trek Online</em></a> has left orbit for a different company. Lead Ship Designer <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Adam-Williams/">Adam Williams</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/CapnLogan">announced over Twitter</a> that he's given his two-week notice at <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/cryptic/">Cryptic</a>, and will be departing for a role at <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/bungie/">Bungie</a>. He presented it as a good news/bad news scenario to his fans:
<blockquote class="bq-standard">
	"I have bad news and good news. Bad news is I'm leaving <em>STO </em>and Cryptic in two weeks. Good news is I'm going to Bungie to work on their new title. Ian Richards will be replacing me permanently. Thanks for the wishes all. Ian is highly skilled. Trained in ships by yours truly."</blockquote>
