My apologies to everyone who submitted ships to this competition for taking so long to post the results. I am going to declare it closed, with a final score as follows:
No combat took place in the Volumetric division, not enough ships were entered for there to be any matchups.
Therefore, by dint of them not having competitors, the victors in Classes I and III respectively are the Dread and the Fear.
In Free division, lots more combat took place.
Class I saw no entrants, so nothing happened.
Class II saw the Soul Drone from
keptick take its second straight victory, edging past the SMMF by one victory out of seven contests. Well done!
Class III, I got a bit lazy. Considering the plethora of entrants from the Goliath Navy, I put the three of them into a runoff, with the Heavy (unsurprisingly) surviving every fight it was put into (by the skin of its teeth on several occasions). The Recon variant came second in the runoff.
I then fought through the Class III tournament using the Goliath Navy Heavy, the Viper, and the Scion. The Viper, probably due to its skinny nose taking up a lot of the dimension allowance, got broken in half with alarming regularity. It lost. I then ran it off against the Goliath Navy Recon for the Consolation Prize, in which the Recon unfortunately proved to be more than capable of delivering a can of whoop-ass direct to the Viper's engine superstructure. Repeatedly. Class III Consolation Prize: Goliath Navy Recon. Class III I-Feel-Really-Bad-For-It Prize: Viper.
The Scion and Goliath Heavy squared off in a best-of-seven matchup which saw the Scion and Goliath both do exceedingly well. It went back-and-forth, with the only deciding factor in the contest seeming to be my piloting rather than the AI's. Therefore, I announce the first-ever tie for first place in my competitions.
