Ship Showdown returns! The heated battle to determine the community's favorite ship of the year kicks off with Phase 1 on August 15! First time? Ship Showdown is a month-long multi-phase aerospace smackdown where YOU decide the best ship/vehicle in the 'verse. In the first phase, you'll be challenged to make as much noise as possible to champion your favorite vehicle. An original song, build something with Lego, take an epic in-game (or real-life) shot, make a trailer, music video... Hell - build the ship for real if you're up to it! The 16 flyable ships with the most activity will make it into the Ship Showdown finals, where they will go head-to-head in the ultimate tournament of aerospace champions. When the time comes, don't forget to upvote, like, and share your favorite creations, as a spot in the final four of this celebratory smack-down will open the airlock for some fun surprises coming later this year! For more info on Ship Showdown, check out last year's feud of fighters and freighters on the 2021 Ship Showdown page. We'll have more information for this year's big event soon, so stay tuned!
