ASGARD VS URSA MEDIVACShip Showdown has long been known for delivering unexpected matchups, and this year is no exception. 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. One ship delivers the pain, while its opponent was designed to soothe it. Your votes will determine who rises above, and who is forced to take their medicine. The battle for the Final Four begins here!

RAZOR VS GLADIATORThe quarterfinals continue with two competitors bringing the heat as Mirai's blazing-fast Razor takes on a battle-hardened vet, the venerable Anvil Gladiator. During every year of Ship Showdown, the Gladiator's devoted fans have sought to elevate their champion to take the crown. 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. Whether through explosive performance or an explosive payload, each of these competitors is capable of tearing up the track, and only your votes decide who takes the checkered flag.

ZEUS MK II VS VULTUREHaving bested the Corsair in a wild upset, a surging Zeus Mk II ES now takes on another Drake staple, the scrappy Vulture. Paying homage to the ship that first launched humanity to the stars in 2140, this modern incarnation of the RSI Zeus features a robust radar package and living quarters suited for exploration in the deepest reaches of the 'verse. Good thing, as we're headed into uncharted territory with this match. The Vulture is one of the most popular industrial ships and has already chewed up the workhorse MOLE. The winner here will advance to the semifinals, so make your vote count!

PROWLER UTILITY VS POLARISWe close out the quarterfinals with a matchup no one saw coming: RSI's mighty Polaris trains its guns on an exotic challenger, Esperia's weirdly versatile Prowler Utility. 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. May the best ship win, and we'll see you in the semis!

Schiff-Showdown-Preise



Die Final Four des diesjährigen Ship Showdowns werden auf der Intergalactic Aerospace Expo im Laufe des Jahres mit ihren brandneuen Best-In-Show-Farben für 2955 sowie einem Poster mit Herstellermotiven vorgestellt!

Eure Stimmen werden ein Schiff zum ultimativen Sieger krönen, das sich in die Reihen der anderen legendären Champions der größten jährlichen Weltraumschlacht im Verse einreiht. Der Gewinner erhält außerdem einen Wimpel zur Erinnerung an seinen 2955-Sieg im Spiel.

Mit dem Live Showdown Free Fly, der heute beginnt, kannst du die acht besten Schiffe auf eine Probe stellen!



Vom 26. August bis zum 2. September kannst du um 20:00 Uhr UTC in das weitläufige Star Citizen MMO-Universum eintauchen und die Elite Acht Schiffe, die unsere Community zu ihren Favoriten gewählt hat, kostenlos fliegen. Wie auch immer du spielen möchtest, es gibt ein Schiff, das darauf wartet, dich in dein neues Abenteuer zu katapultieren. Bestehende Spieler können auch auf die Schiffe zugreifen, indem sie auf den Button "Fly For Free" klicken.



ASGARD VS URSA MEDIVACShip Showdown ist seit langem dafür 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 Unterstützungsfahrzeug, die Ursa Medivac, an. Beide Kontrahenten sind erst seit Kurzem im Verse und haben trotz ihrer gegensätzlichen Ziele eine große Fangemeinde. Ein Schiff bringt den Schmerz, während sein Gegner ihn lindern soll. Eure Stimmen werden darüber entscheiden, wer sich erhebt und wer gezwungen wird, seine Medizin zu nehmen. Der Kampf um die Final Four beginnt hier!

RAZOR 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 küren. 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 zerreißen, und nur deine Stimmen entscheiden, wer die Zielflagge sieht.

ZEUS 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, verfügt diese moderne Version der RSI Zeus über ein robustes Radarpaket und Wohnräume, die für 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!

PROWLER UTILITY VS POLARISWir schließen das Viertelfinale mit einem Matchup ab, das niemand erwartet hat: Der mächtige 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 ausmanövrieren, um weiterzukommen und sich ein Ticket für die nächste Runde zu sichern. Es sind keine anderen fremden Schiffe mehr im Wettbewerb, und von hier an wird es nur noch härter. Möge das beste Schiff gewinnen, und wir sehen uns im Halbfinale!
