Summary

  • Starfield players have the ability to build unique and creative ships using a variety of modules, resulting in monstrous vehicles that can withstand combat in space.
  • In order to combat space pirates and protect cargo, players must strategically combine ship modules to create well-balanced ships that offer both mobility and firepower.
  • While players can build their own custom ships, there are also opportunities to obtain free ships through completing specific missions in the game, providing alternative options for traveling around the galaxy.

One Starfield player has completed a fun challenge: building a practical space submarine in the game. In Starfield, players can give full rein to their creativity when making ships with a catalog of modules. One of the best features of the game is the ability to glue these advanced machinery parts to something else, such as the USS Enterprise from Star Trek, a giant hotdog ship, or the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. The community keeps getting more creative with Starfield's ship-building tool, crafting monstrous vehicles that can survive any combat in space.

Starfield takes place in a hostile frontier where space pirates plunder ships and size their cargos. The only way to get rid of these robbers is to defeat them with top-class ships that combine mobility and firepower. Starfield features dozens of ship modules, such as habs, weapons, and gears, that make a vehicle either practical or impractical. Players should combine these parts wisely to create the most balanced ship, which can be used to travel around the galaxy and win dogfights against pirates. As they progress through the game and complete more quests, they will earn enough credits to build the ultimate ship on their imagination.

Bizarre Starfield Mod Turns Every Ship Into Thomas the Tank Engine

The Thomas the Tank Engine mod from Skyrim makes its way to the stars, as all ships in Starfield can now become Thomas, even the Starborn vessel.

A Starfield player known as L4westby on Reddit has created a functioning space submarine, which consists of habs, landing gears, reactors, and a cargo section. The vehicle bears an uncanny resemblance to military submarines, and it can be used for a wide range of purposes, including combat and space research. The outer hull of this bulky ship is decorated in red and black, with its overall design reminding some people in the comments of Kotatska submarine from GTA Online. In comparison to other custom Starfield ships, it has a higher base cost of 408, 849 credits.

This multicolored space submarine has seven crew capacity, 2400 shield, and 27 jump range, which are average stats for a custom ship. However, the total weight of the vehicle is 3000, which could make it harder to control in combat. On the Reddit thread, fellow Starfield players have expressed their admiration for the submarine's accurate design, with some claiming that it gives the vibes of battleships from the Star Blazers series.

Players who can't afford expensive vehicles can try their hand at free ships, which have their own inspirational designs. There will be moments in Starfield's story where they can obtain ships by completing a specific mission. Despite not being as unique as custom vehicles, these space vessels can be used to travel around the galaxy.

Starfield is available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
