Its a Showdown of Ships!

Looks like the little turtle Terrapin has enough voting bite to take out a Gladiator.

F8C vs F7C MKII ... Who will be the winner of this dogfight in the end? It'll come down to the ship with the most vote bullets.

Well, looking at the current ranking I predict...
...with 50% accuracy...
that an Anvil ship will take the crown.
If the Lighning and the Terrapin win their respective next rounds I am willing to double up to a nice, even 100...

Don't be so sure, the Syulen can still pull this one off.
Only 12.000 votes behind with 1 hour left to go, that's still anything goes this round ... ... ...

CIG's 'Ship Showdown' feels like a dying event to me. No all that much dialog in the CIG forums or here on it. Seems like another ship variant sale might be more exciting?

It's more that the whole community is growing bored with the state of the game. Even Morphologis just did a video about him thinking about taking a brake and his viewership numbers plummeting. I think if they were able to get 4.0 or by citcon things would be better but as it stands we will not see it until mid next year at the earliest and we are pushing 5 years on 3.0? Most released games don't last this long.

I honestly don't know what the future holds for sc but in it's current sandbox lite state it's a buggy laggy mess.

Take a dog.
Tell it it can have a steak, if it is a good dog.
Show it a picture of a steak.
Let it sniff a steak.
Give it dry food instead because you burned the steak.
Rinse and repeat for a few weeks, see how exited the dog is about the steak it never gets.

I do have to insist that CIG continues the proud tradition of the 'Ship Showdown'.
Some of my more colorful liveries stem from owning one (or more) of the Top4.
So please... don't take away my free paints...!

Aaaand some people enjoy the free-flight.
but I'm not one of those...
:-P
