I went to a random ship meetup in my server last week and won 1st place!
This streamer is doing ship meetup contests weekly on Fridays if you want to try your luck, with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd best ships:

There weren't too many ships at this one, so chances were stacked in my favor :D
Ship meetups are always fun, but even more fun if you're making money!
