Summary
An extremely creativeStarfieldplayer managed to recreate an accurate version of the Planet Express ship fromFuturama. AsStarfieldcontinues to break player milestoneson Steam and beyond, Bethesda seems to have captured a wide audience once again with its latest release. Though there has certainly been a healthy dose of criticism from the community inStarfield, there have also been plenty of things to enjoy in the Settled Systems. For every criticism ofStarfield’s space exploration or lack of weapon variety, there has been praise for its physics engine or gunplay.
However, no feature has quite captured the heart of its audience the way the ship builder inStarfieldhas. Since launch, players have passionately shared their designs, whether original concepts or faithful recreations, all across social media.Star Trek,Star Wars,StarCraft,Mass Effect– theStarfieldcommunity has seen ship designs from just about any sci-fi franchise a person could think of, and the ship builder has been flexible enough to accommodate even the most ambitious of ideas, such asrecreating the Star Destroyer inStarfield.

For RoseWoman2020 the goal was simple: building the Planet Express ship fromFuturama, and then sharing it on the officialStarfieldsubreddit. She incorporated ideas from RADiCALRUX’s build, but attempted to make the proportions be more accurate to the design from the show. Though the build is undoubtedly impressive from a visual standpoint, RoseWoman2020 still thinks there is room for improvement, as the ship doesn’t have a C-class reactor, and it’s a bit on the lighter side in terms of weaponry.
While the ship builder is an excellent creative outlet inStarfield, its gameplay side shouldn’t be neglected, as grav-jumping through the Settled Systems isn’t without its fair share of excitement. Va’ruun Zealots, Spacers, and the Crimson Fleet alike will engage in random skirmishes with the player, and if their ship isn’t suitably equipped, it’s highly likely that these entanglements will results in a game over screen. Better lasers, reactors, engines, or evenshields forStarfield’s shipscan be found on higher-level enemies, but they can also be purchased at different docks across the Settled Systems, with each major manufacturer having their own exclusive parts to sell.
The Planet Express design made by RoseWoman2020 couldn’t have been more timely, as theFuturamarebootis currently airing the show’s eighth season. The original voice cast, including John DiMaggio, returned for the reboot, which has thus far received favorable reviews. While the base game version of the ship builder struggles to work with round edges, the eventual release of modding tools forStarfieldmay pave the way for new ship parts, and thus even more accurate designs in the near future.
Starfieldis available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
