    Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts and his development team Cloud Imperium Games announced a new design and modding competition, in which fans create their own starship for Star Citizen. Called "The Next Great Starship," the contest will award one team of three people with a $30,000 prize along with their winning entry being included in the game. Starship designers can register for the contest starting on October 31 until December 31. The first challenge tasks teams with "the making of a fully designed wave particle cannon," submitted via YouTube. The entries will be narrowed down to 16, leading into weekly episodes of The Next Great Starship, slated to air on the Robert Space Industries YouTube channel starting January 31, 2014. The final live competition between two remaining teams will commence on June 8, 2014 in Los Angeles.
