Highlights
- A Starfield player created a massive space shark ship, pushing the game's ship-building limits.
- Starfield's versatile ship-building feature allows players to create various designs, including recreations from other franchises.
- The space shark build caused the game to crash due to its massive scale, highlighting the game's limitations.
A talented Starfield player online has put the limits of the game's ship-building feature to the test by turning their ship into an enormous space shark. While Starfield allows players to create some big ships, this particular creation has to be among the biggest created by the community so far.
There's no doubt that for many gamers out there, Starfield failed to live up to some lofty expectations. However, it's universally accepted that Bethesda did a fantastic job with the ship-building feature, which allows players to bring their wildest ideas to life and send them flying through the cosmos. Each player has a different approach — some try to make the coolest-looking ship possible, while others look to recreate their favorite ships from other franchises. One player even recreated Anakin's starship from Star Wars in Starfield, showcasing how versatile the ship-building really is. The creations have been awesome up to now, and it'll be interesting to see how far players are pushing the ship-builder in a few years' time.
Redditor davidshelly showed off their epic Starfield ship build, which looks exactly like a hammerhead shark. The sheer scale of the creation is massive, and it massively surpasses the grid in the ship-building UI. It would be interesting to see how it actually flies, given how massive it is — it would certainly be a sight to behold, watching this float by in space. It seems that on this particular occasion, davidshelly asked a little too much of Starfield. After the awesome screenshot was taken, the game crashed due to the scale of the build, causing them to lose all progress.
Space Shark Build Breaks Starfield
During the marketing for Starfield, Bethesda showed off a ship that looked exactly like a platypus. It was a cool visual intended to show off just how versatile Starfield's ship-building features are. In the wake of its release, it's only natural that many gamers out there have recreated many creatures from the real world. A while back, one Starfield player even built a ship that looks like a chicken, and there's no doubt that gamers will try to recreate just about every animal on Earth eventually.
While many at Bethesda have now moved on to the development of The Elder Scrolls 6, some at the studio continue work on Starfield content. It's set to be a big year for the game — the recent release of the Creation Kit should be a huge moment for the game's modding scene, and Starfield's Shattered Space DLC looks awesome. Shattered Space is set for release later this year, taking a darker tone that could help the game finally live up to its potential. Whether that comes to fruition remains to be seen, but the signs from the footage so far are promising.
