A Starfield player has created a ship that could offer a huge advantage in combat. Starfield is finally out after a five-year wait, and is the biggest game launch in Bethesda's history. Starfield players have been praising the RPG, from the space combat and impressive graphics to the high level of exploration and customization.
One of Starfield's main features is the customization of ships, letting players unleash their creativity. Creating a ship in Starfield is best suited to late-game players, as they should have plenty of credits, which are needed to get parts. Still, players who have just started their journey in Starfield won't be left helpless, as the game offers affordable options. While Starfield's ship creation system is pretty straightforward, players must analyze how the new parts affect the ship to make the construction viable. This is important because while Starfield offers players a high level of freedom, not every ship can work. If the ship builder finds errors in the player's schematics, Starfield will show what's wrong on the screen. The player must correct these errors to finish their design.
Gamer Morfalath created a Starfield ship that reminded players of the "donut ship" from Kingdom Hearts 2, one of Square Enix's best PS2 games. The player's design consists of a square ship with an open center. Since enemies try to fire at the center of the ship, they will miss most of their shots. The same strategy became popular among Kingdom Hearts 2 players back in the day with the aforementioned "donut ship." To show how their creation works, Morfalath published a video on YouTube and revealed that it has the maximum dimensions of length, width, and height.
Starfield's ship builder has been a hit, with players using it to recreate several classic sci-fi ships. Examples range from the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars to ships from Mass Effect, Halo, and the Borg Cube from Star Trek. Another player went a bit further and recreated Thomas the Tank Engine in Starfield. Other Starfield players took a more authorial route, building ships such as the "flying condominium" and a ship in the shape of a capybara.
Creating ships in Starfield is one of the most engaging activities in the game, along with the character creator. While the feature has already been impressive right from the start, the expectation is for it to get even better with new Starfield mods released in the coming months. Some examples already exist, such as the mod that improves ship building in Starfield by giving players more control, making the experience easier and more responsive.
Starfield is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
