 The Next Great Starship, the modding competition that gives fans a chance to create a space ship to be used in Chris Roberts’ upcoming epic space sim game, Star Citizen™, is just about to get real for 24 teams. The series kicks off on YouTube, January 31, and a handful of teams will be eliminated by judges at the end the first episode. Sponsors for the competition include Alienware, AMD, Autodesk, Crytek, Cologne Game Lab, Maingear, Wacom and YouTube.

The Next Great Starship airs Fridays at 6 pm Eastern/3 pm Pacific. Fans are encouraged to join the Roberts Space Industries YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/RobertsSpaceInd to watch. Star Citizen is the creation of Roberts’ Cloud Imperium™ Games studio, headquartered in Los Angeles.

A total of 270 teams representing 65 countries entered the competition. The judging panel includes members from Star Citizen’s art, design and animation teams, in addition to Chris Roberts himself. Celebrity judges will appear in later episodes. The judges already have narrowed the initial list of entries to the top 24 teams. Over the next three weeks that number will shrink even more with judges picking 15 finalists and the community having an opportunity to vote for one team that will make it into the final 16. Every week after that, each team will provide work-in-progress videos to the panel and face the possibility of elimination (judges can save teams and the community also has a vote on who stays and who leaves). It all culminates in The Next Great Starship finale airing on June 7 from Los Angeles where the champion team will be crowned and awarded $30,000 in cash in addition to many other great prizes.

Wingman’s Hangar will not be seen this week. It will return next week at a new time, Wednesday noon EST!

 The Next Great Starship, der Modding-Wettbewerb, der den Fans die Möglichkeit gibt, ein Raumschiff zu bauen, das in Chris Roberts' kommendem epischen Weltraumsimulationsspiel Star Citizen™ verwendet werden soll, ist gerade dabei, für 24 Teams realistisch zu werden. Die Serie beginnt auf YouTube am 31. Januar, und eine Handvoll Teams werden von den Richtern am Ende der ersten Episode eliminiert. Zu den Sponsoren des Wettbewerbs gehören Alienware, AMD, Autodesk, Crytek, Cologne Game Lab, Maingear, Wacom und YouTube.

The Next Great Starship sendet freitags um 18.00 Uhr Ost- und 15.00 Uhr Pazifik. Fans werden ermutigt, dem Roberts Space Industries YouTube-Kanal unter http://www.youtube.com/user/RobertsSpaceInd beizutreten, um ihn zu sehen. Star Citizen ist die Gründung von Roberts' Cloud Imperium™ Games Studio mit Sitz in Los Angeles.

Insgesamt 270 Teams aus 65 Ländern nahmen am Wettbewerb teil. Die Jury besteht aus Mitgliedern der Kunst-, Design- und Animationsteams von Star Citizen sowie Chris Roberts selbst. Prominente Richter werden in späteren Episoden erscheinen. Die Jury hat die Starterliste bereits auf die ersten 24 Teams eingegrenzt. In den nächsten drei Wochen wird diese Zahl noch weiter sinken, da die Jury 15 Finalisten auswählt und die Community die Möglichkeit hat, für ein Team zu stimmen, das es in das Finale 16 schafft. Jede Woche danach wird jedes Team dem Panel Videos über die laufenden Arbeiten zur Verfügung stellen und sich der Möglichkeit der Eliminierung stellen (Richter können Teams retten und die Gemeinschaft hat auch eine Abstimmung darüber, wer bleibt und wer geht). Alles gipfelt in The Next Great Starship Finale, das am 7. Juni in Los Angeles ausgestrahlt wird, wo das Champion-Team gekrönt wird und neben vielen anderen tollen Preisen auch 30.000 Dollar in bar erhält.

Wingman's Hangar wird diese Woche nicht gesehen. Es wird nächste Woche zu einer neuen Zeit, Mittwoch Mittag EST!
