However, things are now getting extremely serious, as the ultimate Vesselmania moves full-thrust ahead into Phase 2 of Ship Showdown 2954. The upcoming daily votings are ruthless battles of two in, one out, and your voice will decide either victory or defeat. Here are the head-to-head matches of phase 2: August 15: Freighter Division (Transport): Crusader C1 Spirit VS Crusader Mercury Star Runner August 16: Road Warrior Division (Ground Vehicles): Greycat STV VS RSI Ursa Medivac August 17: Pathfinder Division (Exploration): Origin 890 Jump VS Origin 600i Explorer August 18: Underdog Division (The Little Guys): Anvil Terrapin VS Anvil Gladiator August 19: Speed Demons Division (Racing): Mirai Fury LX VS Origin M50 August 20: Heavy Duty Division (Industrial): Aegis Reclaimer VS Drake Vulture August 21: Alien Division (Alien Vehicles): Gatac Syulen VS Banu Defender August 22: Run & Gun Division (Combat): Anvil F8C Lighting VS Anvil F7C Hornet Mk II* * Please note that, as an exception to the usual Ship Showdown rules, if the F7C wins, the F7A will also be allowed to use the paint. Although the F7A is an earnable in-game ship and not technically eligible, we want to honor it by permitting it to benefit from the potential rewards. You now have the power to crown the ultimate victor, elevating them to the ranks of legendary champions in the grandest annual space showdown. Keep in mind that the final four competitors will receive a special in-game paint and poster, and the winner will be honored with an in-game championship pennant commemorating their 2954 win.
