Starfield Player Builds Federal Corvette From Elite Dangerous

Summary

AStarfieldplayer attempted to recreate the Federal Corvette starship from Frontier Developments’Elite Dangerous. While the game’s ship customization options didn’t quite give them what they needed to make a perfect replica, the likeness is still impressive. Furthermore, theStarfieldplayer’s design looks pretty good in its own right.

Bethesda’s space exploration RPG launched earlier this month to mostly positive reviews. WhileStarfieldis not above criticism, it still delivered on what many Bethesda fans expect from the studio’s open-world RPGs. The PC version enjoys a respectable 87 on Metacritic, while the Xbox Series X version has a rating of 83. One of the game’s most popular features is its ship customization, which allows players to create unique designs by combining different modules.

Reddit user ActuallyGun is one suchStarfieldplayer and recently shared their ship inspired by the Federal CorvettefromElite Dangerous. TheStarfieldversion is a bit bulkier than its inspiration, as the game doesn’t lend itself to the sleek designs of manyElite Dangerousvessels. Still, ActuallyGun did a good job capturing the feeling that the original design conveys. The ship also looks good on its own, and unlike some of themore extravagant customStarfieldships, it fits in pretty well with the game’s aesthetic. One could almost believe that it was a default ship design.

ActuallyGun also seems to be quite a fan ofStarfield’s ship-building system. Some of their other designs include the Aegis Nautilus fromCloud Imperium’sStar Citizenand two versions of the Tempest fromMass Effect: Andromeda. They also recreated the model ship from the Constellation Lodge and the concept art from theStarfieldDirect.

TheStarfieldplayer didn’t go into detail about how they made theStarfieldversion of the Federal Corvette. However, the ship appears to consist of two main decks, with the bridge forming a smaller third deck. Fans on theStarfieldsubreddit were quite impressed with the design, with many praising its likeness to the original.

It also had a fewStarfieldplayers wishing the game would let them share their ship designs online. Fans will probably figure out a way to upload their ships asStarfieldmods, similar to what someFallout 4players did with their custom Settlements. Still, a proper share function would be ideal, and hopefully, Bethesda will add it in an update or as part ofStarfield’sShattered SpaceDLC.

Starfieldis out now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
