Summary
- A Starfield player discovered an interesting detail about the Mantis suit - the helmet's glass visor is actually the source of its light.
- The discovery of this detail sparked a discussion among fans about the potential addition of a suit builder feature to Starfield.
- While a suit builder seems unlikely, fans speculate that future DLC and updates may introduce more creation tools, such as the ability to build space stations.
A Starfield player discovered a neat detail about the Mantis suit that may have slipped by many other fans of the game. Starfield is very similar to Bethesda's previous games and so boasts many of the features that fans have come to expect. This includes the ability to switch between a first-person and third-person perspective.
Like Elder Scrolls and Fallout before it, Starfield gives players the freedom to choose if they want to play in first-person or third-person. However, it's safe to say that the vast majority of Starfield players choose to play through the game in first-person. Third-person has its perks, like being able to see whatever special Starfield armor one has equipped, but the game just seems to cater more to first-person gameplay.
Starfield Player Has Warning About Fully Leveling Gymnastics Skill
A Starfield player cautions their fellow spacefarers with a post that details the risks and dangers of using the gymnastics skill in the game.
Since most fans play through Starfield in first-person, they may have missed an interesting detail about the Mantis suit. As pointed out by Reddit user DocHalidae, the Mantis suit's light is actually from the helmet's glass visor. It's a neat detail that has gone largely unnoticed, with many Starfield players surprised by the discovery. This detail makes the Mantis suit in Starfield that much more special. Anyone interested in obtaining the suit for themselves will want to complete the Mantis side quest, which nets players not only the suit but the Razorleaf starship as well.
This Starfield Mantis discovery kickstarted a discussion among fans about how the game could benefit from a suit builder. Starfield offers extensive customization options as is, with players able to create their character and design basically any kind of ship they can think of. However, Starfield does not let players build their own suits. If such a feature were added, one can only imagine the kind of off-the-wall creations the community would dream up.
A Starfield suit builder seems like an unlikely addition to the game, but if it were ever added, it could potentially be introduced through paid DLC. Bethesda has at least two Starfield expansions in the works, and fans know very little about them at the time of this writing. Fans shouldn't hold their breath for a suit builder to ever make its way to Starfield, but the DLC should still make some exciting additions to the game.
Some fans believe that future Starfield DLC and updates will indeed add more creation tools to the game. There is a theory that Starfield will one day let players build their own space stations, but that remains to be seen.

In Starfield the most important story is the one you tell with your character. Start your journey by customizing your appearance and deciding your Background and Traits.
