How come we have "ship", "sector", and "combat"? Where would a station or complex belong into? It is not a ship, and closeup of one is not really scenery either. Or would it be combat, Don Quijote facing ferocious Free Argon Trading Centre? IMO, stations are underrepresented in SOTW. Just a thought.

I've put one of Dave's images up for the time being.

Did you resolve how to choose a winner?

Good choice. I reckon we shall stare at you and the last one still standing wins. :wink:

Anyway, is this ship enough?

I am going to let everyone vote. I'll open the "poll" when the deadline ends.
The rules will be what I've posted before...
I am thinking there'll be a simple scale, so that every screenshot gets a score. Highest number wins. Since the rule will be that you have to vote for all, or none, the mathematically, the winner can be determined by both average and sum - the result will be the same.

The grand prize is - Abyss will be taking the winner to lunch.

Ah - the democratic means of reforming the UK House of Lords voting system... :p

Sure - if you're anywhere around I'll shout the winner a lunch. It's a fairly safe and hence cheap offer to make :)
