Ship Showdown 2956 Phase 1 Contest

Once again the 'verse gathers to nominate its 16 favorite vehicles with incredible and creative submissions, ranging from artistic murals and cinematic masterpieces to home-brewed crafts and insanely catchy musical renditions. All of this helps secure 16 vehicles a place in a super-intense single-elimination tournament of champions to determine the undisputed fan favorite of the moment, and earning it a permanent place in the annals of vehicular veneration. Fans and pilots of the final four combatants also rejoice as all four semi-finalists are treated to celebratory special-edition paint jobs and accessories themed after those vehicles deemed the best-of-the-best.
