Summary
The ship building scene inStarfieldhas a strong fascination with trains, and another player managed to design their take on a space-faring locomotive. While the game has seen its share of criticism on Steam and across social media platforms, there has been almost nothing but praise for theship builder inStarfield. Bethesda has seemingly created the perfect outlet for players to pour their creativity into, as the community has been passionately sharing theirStarfieldship designs since launch.
From the Millennium Falcon to the Normandy fromMass Effect,Starfieldplayers have adapted a myriad of popular starships from other sci-fi franchises. However, an underrated corner of its ship building scene has been the more unorthodox (and often bizarre) designs. Players havebuilt gunships inStarfieldthat resembled a gun, a sailing boat, and even a frog. The sleek modularity and wide selection of parts inStarfield’s ship builder has allowed players to construct both accurate recreations and original concepts, no matter how mundane or unusual.
To that end, RecordingFearless270 put forward a design on the officialStarfieldsubreddit inspired by theGalaxy Expressanime from 1978. The ship – or more accurately, the train – sits at five layers tall and has a very dazzling color scheme. Some players have noted a resemblance to Doc Brown’s train from the thirdBack to the Futurefilm, while others jokingly mentioned that a Thomas the Tank Engine build would inevitably be coming soon. The design is equipped with weapons and built for gameplay, but there is an important caveat to consider.
The ship’s height necessitates the use of ladders to walk from the landing bay to the cockpit, andladders inStarfieldare a special kind of hell for most players, as the slow animation of going up and down is tedious at best. Some fans have suggested that Bethesda could implement a 1x1 habitat module that functions as stairs to solve the problem, though chances are thatStarfieldmods will figure out a solution soon after the official modding tools release.
Ultimately, the community seems to be excited about the potential ofStarfield, as cruising through the stars and exploring the many planets of the Settled Systems evokes the unique addiction of playing a Bethesda sandbox experience. Even if a few aspects of the game have been a disappointment to theStarfieldfans who were hoping for more, the encouraging thing to keep in mind is that this will likely be the worst version ofStarfieldto exist, as the game will continue to improve withofficial content packs such asShattered Spaceand unofficial mod support besides.
Starfieldis available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
