The time has arrived once again. The feud of fighters and freighters, the conflict of craft, the next annual Ship Showdown is upon us. Will a newcomer like the RSI Scorpius sweep the competition? Or will a classic like the Aegis Reclaimer show them who’s boss? Will the Anvil Carrack recover from its defeat last year? Or will the Argo Cargo take the crown once again? You decide, starting with Phase 1 of Ship Showdown! Write 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. Submit your creations to the Community Hub or on Twitter using #SCShipShowdown by August 29th at midnight Pacific Time in order to make your voice heard. The 16 vehicles 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. Plus, our top ten favorite submissions during Phase 1 will win an in-game MISC Hull A, complete with in-game Lifetime Insurance! Don’t forget to upvote, like, and share your favorite creations, as a spot in the elite eight of this celebratory smack-down will assure that ship is available to test-fly for free starting September 8, with the final four competitors receiving a special paint option and in-game challenge coin for their manufacturer. Finally, the ship or vehicle that takes the #1 spot will be immortalized as a handsome, collectable in-game ship model. For all the details on Ship Showdown, the full contest rules, and to see the submissions so far, head over to the Ship Showdown hub to join in the fray. The showdown commences...now! Only one vehicle can be crowned the winner, will it be yours?
