A few hours in and only 787 votes separate our contenders - will the early lead carry the Valkyrie to victory or will, as more time zones awaken round the world, lend their love to the Drake staple?
It won't matter... the Carrack will clean either of their clocks. But I'm happy either way, I bought my ships for reasons... some of which I can't remember... but they were there.

Original post updated! The Valkyrie proves itself to be a Giant Slayer as it sends the Cutlass, one of the darlings of last year, home in pieces!

But now, the Final, the Valkyrie stands in front of not so much a Giant, as a Mountain: The Carrack, the ship of love, the ship of life, the ship of GIB - the craft so many waited so long for and which did not disappoint when it made its debut!

These two behemoths of fandom now knuckle down in the ring as they meet head to head! How can the underdog possibly prevail?! Today, Round 4, The Final! Bout 1 of 1: The Carrack vs The Valkyrie!

This match was concluderd yesterday as soon as it goes live: Carrack has so far always gain a fraking amount of support, all well deserved IMHO.
This match was concluded when the Carrack was listed on the roster.

"You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your ship."

the smoke clears... And the favourite claims the title! If there is a name you're gonna be sick of hearing for the next 12 months, that name is Carrack! Bringer Of GIB!

Quick question, in the newsletter from the 22th they announced special prize for the last 4 ships and the winner.
"Prizes for the Final Four will be revealed soon, and the #1 ship will have a bonus prize. So keep voting, and remember to fly the top ships in the ‘verse before the Ship Showdown free fly event ends on September 23! "
What does that mean exactly? I'm confused since the store does not show them anymore since yesterday, but the competition was not over yet until today. I though it would meant some shiny standalone ships :) Can someone enlight me? ;)

from the winners page:

"Owners of the four ships that made it to the Semi-Finals will get a free limited-edition ship livery and themed shirt for their character! These will be revealed in November at the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE).
[...]
The Anvil Carrack, our ultimate winner, influences the design of a new, officially licensed in-game helmet available for free to all backers at the IAE."

I think the next time they'll be available now is the IAE.

The only ship I was interested in grabbing fell out of the competition before payday, so I get to eat this month :)
