Star Trek Ships

On Star Trek day, the official Starfield Twitter account shared Star Trek ship designs made by Reddit user u/GrungeCowboy73.

Animal Ships

In most media, a spacefarer's ship will always have a huge impact on the story to the point that the ship becomes a character in itself. You can take this idea one step further in Starfield by making your ship look like animals or insects, giving it personality, and allowing it to act as your giant, high-tech pet.

Mechs

Mechs and mechas have been a staple in science fiction for a long time. Live out your childhood Super Sentai dreams by designing your ship to look like a menacing giant robot.

Swordfish II

The Swordfish II is an iconic space ship owned and manned by Spike Spiegel in the neo-noir space anime series Cowboy Bebop. This high-performance ship was used for racing, and was modified for combat.

Best Ship Designs For Function

Purchase Most Expensive Parts for Function

If you care more about function than aesthetics, the best way to design your ship will be to upgrade the parts you need to the most expensive option that you can afford. There are a lot of shops and spaceports you can visit in the game that sell different parts that can suit your needs.
