IAE 2952 Screenshot Contest by Drake Interplanetary

November 18th 2022 at 10:30 am

UPDATE:

We challenged you to prove your photography skills in this contest, and you all have certainly delivered! Below, you can find the ten winning submissions. Thanks again, everyone, for participating and for wowing us with your art. More than once, it was a tough challenge for our team to pick a winner!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ready to explore this IAE Drake-style, with action instead of queuing? Try out the ships for yourself and take on our daily screenshot challenges!
Welcome to the IAE 2952 Screenshot Contest by Drake Interplanetary!

Here’s how it works:
Starting on November 18 (8am Pacific / 4pm UTC), different ship manufacturers take over an expo hall every day. There’s something new to see every day, and nearly everything on display is available to test-fly for free!

We’re looking for the best screenshots that encapsulate each day of the IAE. However, each day features a specific Drake-style challenge for you to take on in your screenshots!

We have 10 days of challenges for you - that means ten amazing screenshots and ten times the chance to win a ship!
All you have to do is visit this thread daily and prove that you have what it takes to live life in Drake style!

Keep In Mind

  • Read the contest rules!
  • Submit your most epic screenshot highlighting the featured IAE manufacturer for the day, either in the respective submission thread on Spectrum or as a reply to the challenge announcements on Twitter using the hashtags #IAEbyDrake & #StarCitizen.
  • Each daily challenge will have specific requirements so please read carefully to ensure your submissions qualify.
  • Only post screenshots that include the requirements of the daily challenges. Entries focusing on other subjects will be disqualified.
  • Unless specified in the requirements of the daily challenges, where the screenshots are taken is up to you. They don’t necessarily need to be taken at the IAE venue.
  • You have 24 hours after each official challenge announcement to add your image to the corresponding Spectrum submission thread or as a reply to the challenge announcement post on Twitter using the hashtag #IAEbyDrake. Submissions posted after this cut-off will not qualify.
  • Images that include player handles will not qualify.
  • Consider turning off the HUD when taking screenshots as this might make for better composition. Check out an excellent screenshot tutorial by DigThat32 or Mr. Hasgaha.
  • Post-processing is allowed but remember that sometimes less is more.
  • Make it count: only one () entry per challenge.
  • No group submissions. You may include your friends in the screenshot, but only the one submitting is qualified to win.
  • Players can only win once during the contest.
  • Winners of the daily challenges will be announced on the day of the next challenge issued.

Decided to go Spelunking on Microtech with my Corsair.
Makes it hard to pick just one for my submission.
Therefore I had to share all of them here.
Also sucks I'm limited to 1080p by my hardware, but it is what it is.
Good luck everyone.

@Devoidsaren @Browork @ambiguities @DSC_Robbie @Beezley @FrankMurphy @Lechatpoteur @KuroHyou @DarthVain_Fleuren, you didn't post your screenshot to the official submission thread. Please check out the rules and post your submission to the submission thread for the day one challenge. Otherwise, we can't consider your great screenshots as potential winning entries, and you would miss the chance to win a Drake Corsair today.

Much better damage states then I could get on the eclipse. The eclipse just wanted to loose wings, this shows damage.
