The first bout of the Elite Eight sees Anvil's newcomer vehicle-dropship, the Asgard, take on RSI's frontline medical support vehicle, the Ursa Medivac. Both of these contenders are recent additions to the 'verse, and despite their opposing purposes, each has its share of diehard fans.

Now that this bombastic brawler has advanced to the Elite Eight, the Gladiator won't be going down without a fight. Don't count out the Razor just yet, though, as this speedster has left countless foes in its wake, most recently passing the M50 to earn this spot against Anvil's fighter-bomber.

After crushing the potent Starlancer TAC in the previous round, can anything stop the Polaris on its rise to victory? The Prowler Utility will need to outmaneuver its opponent to advance and deliver a ticket to the next round. No other alien ships remain in the competition, and things only get more fierce from here.

Wir haben unz\u00e4hlige unglaubliche Einsendungen erhalten, darunter Screenshots, Videos, Lego\u00ae-Kreationen, Originalsongs und sogar 3D-gedruckte Modelle. Tausende von Einsendungen wurden ausgewertet, um unsere Top 16 zu ermitteln, die in der ersten Runde gegeneinander antraten. Jetzt, da wir in die ELITE EIGHT eintreten, k\u00f6nnen alle verbliebenen Teilnehmer KOSTENLOS fliegen!

Bestehende Spieler k\u00f6nnen auch auf die Schiffe zugreifen, indem sie auf den Button \"Fly For Free\" klicken.\n\n\n\nASGARD VS URSA MEDIVACShip Showdown ist seit langem daf\u00fcr bekannt, unerwartete Begegnungen zu liefern, und dieses Jahr ist da keine Ausnahme. Im ersten Kampf der Elite Eight tritt Anvils neues Fahrzeug-Abwurfschiff, die Asgard, gegen RSIs medizinisches Unterst\u00fctzungsfahrzeug, die Ursa Medivac, an. Beide Kontrahenten sind erst seit Kurzem im Verse und haben trotz ihrer gegens\u00e4tzlichen Ziele eine gro\u00dfe Fangemeinde. Ein Schiff bringt den Schmerz, w\u00e4hrend sein Gegner ihn lindern soll. Eure Stimmen werden dar\u00fcber entscheiden, wer sich erhebt und wer gezwungen wird, seine Medizin zu nehmen. Der Kampf um die Final Four beginnt hier!\n\nRAZOR VS GLADIATORThe quarterfinals continue with two competitors bringing the heat as Mirai's blazing fast Razor takes on a battle-hardened veteret, the venerable Anvil Gladiator. In jedem Jahr des Ship Showdowns haben die treuen Fans des Gladiators versucht, ihren Champion zum Sieger zu k\u00fcren. Jetzt, wo dieser bombastische Raufbold in die Elite Eight aufgestiegen ist, wird der Gladiator nicht kampflos untergehen. Allerdings solltest du den Razor noch nicht abschreiben, denn dieser Flitzer hat schon zahllose Gegner hinter sich gelassen, zuletzt den M50, um sich diesen Platz gegen den Fighter-Bomber von Anvil zu verdienen. Ob durch explosive Leistung oder explosive Ladung, jeder dieser Konkurrenten ist in der Lage, die Strecke zu zerrei\u00dfen, und nur deine Stimmen entscheiden, wer die Zielflagge sieht.\n\nZEUS MK II VS VULTURENachdem die Zeus Mk II ES die Corsair in einem wilden Kampf besiegt hat, tritt sie nun gegen eine andere Drake-Klassikerin an: die rauflustige Vulture. Als Hommage an das Schiff, das die Menschheit im Jahr 2140 zum ersten Mal zu den Sternen brachte, verf\u00fcgt diese moderne Version der RSI Zeus \u00fcber ein robustes Radarpaket und Wohnr\u00e4ume, die f\u00fcr die Erkundung der tiefsten Regionen des Universums geeignet sind. Das ist auch gut so, denn mit diesem Spiel begeben wir uns auf unerforschtes Gebiet. Der Vulture ist eines der beliebtesten Industrieschiffe und hat bereits das Arbeitspferd MOLE verschlungen. Der Gewinner dieser Partie wird ins Halbfinale einziehen, also gib deine Stimme ab!\n\nPROWLER UTILITY VS POLARISWir schlie\u00dfen das Viertelfinale mit einem Matchup ab, das niemand erwartet hat: Der m\u00e4chtige Polaris von RSI richtet seine Waffen gegen einen exotischen Herausforderer, den seltsam vielseitigen Prowler Utility von Esperia. Nachdem er in der vorherigen Runde das starke Starlancer TAC besiegt hat, kann nichts die Polaris auf ihrem Weg zum Sieg aufhalten? Das Prowler Utility muss seinen Gegner ausman\u00f6vrieren, um weiterzukommen und sich ein Ticket f\u00fcr die n\u00e4chste Runde zu sichern. Es sind keine anderen fremden Schiffe mehr im Wettbewerb, und von hier an wird es nur noch h\u00e4rter. M\u00f6ge das beste Schiff gewinnen, und wir sehen uns im Halbfinale!","zh_CN":"Ship Showdown 2955\nThe Elite Eight\nEvery year, Ship Showdown challenges the community to champion their favorite vehicle.
