Starfield players are known for constructing some incredible ships but this fan managed to create one that will make budding Space Cowboys incredibly jealous. While players are largely divided on Starfield‘s mechanical gameplay, building ships always stands out as a point of praise given the robust nature of the modular system. It may initially appear limiting due to the interlocking nature of the pieces, but with the help of a handful of mods and some creativity, it’s possible to recreate some of pop culture’s most iconic ships.
Posted to Reddit by L4westby, the player shared their Swordfish II build from the beloved anime Cowboy Bebop and the design is staggeringly accurate.
Everything from the massive weapon underneath to its bright red paint job has been authentically recreated; several side-by-side shots further illustrate the ships in action and the attention to detail is impressive. Unfortunately for Starfield players who prefer playing without mods, this Swordfish II was designed with several add-ons installed but one can’t dispute the fact that the result is clearly worth the extra effort.
Could Starfield’s Ships Get Even Better?
One Can Only Hope That’s The Case
Now that Shattered Space is finally in players’ hands, the Starfield community is turning toward the future, and one of the major requests is more ship customization options. The modular nature of the system means Bethesda could potentially expand it by releasing a patch that adds more parts to the game, providing users with more incentives to return and collect all the attachments they may have previously missed. Alternatively, the studio may also add additional ship fittings as Creations, although fans may not be happy to pay for these extras.
Given the number of mods that explicitly add more ship parts to Starfield, one can’t help but believe that Bethesda could officially do the same. Even as a DLC or expansion, building upon the game’s most popular aspect would be a strong move in the eyes of its audience, as long as the package was worth the price. Users always want additional customization options, so providing even more in an already stuffed game seems like a safe choice.
Why Players Want Iconic Ships In Starfield
It’s All About The Fantasy
Flying around in a Swordfish II in Starfield may not be what Bethesda intended but for Cowboy Bebop fans wanting to role-play as a smooth-talking bounty hunter, there’s no better way to achieve the dream. Hunting down targets and bringing down outlaws is already a major part of the experience so taking it further by picking up gigs as the iconic Spike Spiegel could only make it better. Mods are a powerful thing, especially in the hands of a competent space cowboy.
