Summary
- Starfield players are using the ship-building tool to create unique and recognizable vehicles, such as a chicken ship.
- The ship-building tool allows players to customize every aspect of their ship, including the cockpit and weapons, using modules purchased with in-game credits.
- While the chicken ship may be slow and challenging to control in combat, it can be used for cargo transportation and exploration in the game.
One crafty Starfield player has built a ship that looks very similar to a real-life chicken. Starfield players have been pushing the boundaries of the game's building system to make one-of-a-kind vehicles, from Boba Fett's Firespray-31 and the Vulture Droid to the Planet Express. Also, some have spent a certain amount of time turning famous Le Mans cars, including the Shelby Cobra 427, into space vessels that can be used for interplanetary exploration.
Of all the gameplay features in Starfield, the ship-building tool is brilliant at encouraging players to show off their creativity and build a vessel from scratch. Despite having some limitations, it allows them to recreate their favorite vehicles within the game's massive world. With a wide array of modules at their disposal, players can change every aspect of their ship, including the cockpit and weapons, to their liking. All they have to do is find a technician in populated Settled System areas and buy machinery parts by spending their hard-earned credits.
One insightful Starfield player known on Reddit as kageric has gone through the effort of building a chicken ship in the game. The vehicle has a conical beak alongside the main tail feathers, flight coverts, and a comb on top of its head, capturing the appearance of a real-life chicken. It's composed of a cockpit, engines, landing pads, and habs that probably cost at least 100,000 in-game credits, which is an average price tag for custom Starfield ships. The original poster didn't share this vehicle's stats, but it's safe to assume that it's a bit slow due to its sheer size.
On the Reddit thread, fellow Starfield players poked fun at themselves, with some claiming that the ship looks like the famous Muppets character Camilla the Chicken. This funny-looking space vessel should be hard to control in combat, as it consists of many modules that decrease its speed and maneuverability. However, players can safely use it for transporting cargo and exploring beautiful planets in Starfield.
In Starfield, players who have enough credits can purchase various ship modules to build a spacecraft of their own. Ranging from cockpits and weapons to reactors, these machinery parts either increase or decrease the effectiveness of the vehicle. In addition to standard versions, players can get their hands on superior, cutting-edge, and experimental modules by maximizing the Starship Design skill. They cover a variety of functions, including storage and crew capacity, that are essential for space exploration.
