It begins. The fantastic feud of freighters, fighters, and frigates has begun! Who will take the crown this year to become the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo’s Best in Show? Well, that’s for YOU to decide.
Phase 1 Has Begun!
Make some noise for your favorite pilotable vehicles in the ‘verse, as that’s what they need to make it to Phase 2: a tournament bracket for the Top 16, chosen by you. How do they make it there? Create an original artistic creation and upload it to the Community Hub or Twitter with the hashtags #ShipShowdown and #StarCitizen.
The sky is the limit, any sort of creation will be considered! Film an epic machinima, flex your painting skills, build a model out of paper mache, write a jingle for your ship’s commercial, it is completely up to you! In addition to your contest entries, we’ll also be looking at total flight and drive time of vehicles in the ‘verse; take to the skies (or roads) to help tip the odds. It could be the difference in a close race.
Also newly added this year, your chosen vehicles of the ‘verse will enter the Top 16 in a bracket that matches their role and style:
Heavy Duty Division (Industrial)Speed Demons Division (Racing)Run & Gun Division (Combat)Pathfinder Division (Exploration)Freighter Division (Transport)Alien Division (Alien Vehicles)Road Warrior Division (Ground Vehicles)Underdog Division (The Little Guys)
For all the details on Ship Showdown, including the full contest rules and the submissions so far, head over to the Ship Showdown page, and submit your creations!
Act fast, you only have until August 13, 2024 at 1 PM Pacific / 8 PM UTC before Phase 1 ends. May the best vehicle win!
UPDATE: Congrats to our winners!
