Summary
OneStarfieldfan with some seriously impressive engineering skills managed to recreate the Brotherhood of Steel’s Prydwen zeppelin fromFallout 4in Bethesda’s latest RPG. Their astonishing achievement thus extends the ever-growing listimpressiveStarfieldshipsthat the fans put together since the game first hit the market in late summer.
WhileStarfieldis by no means lacking in compelling activities, its shipbuilding mechanics have so far proven to be one of its biggest allures, at least as far as the tinkerer’s among the fandom are concerned. As a result,Starfieldplayers already constructed some truly incredible custom ships, ranging from entirely unique designs to high-effort recreations.
The latest example that falls in the latter category comes from Reddit user lolsforalls23, who recently managed to put together a faithfulStarfieldreplica of the Prydwen fromFallout 4. Their spacecraft does a great job at mimicking the design of the gigantic zeppelin from the latest single-playerFalloutgame, not least because of its massive hull and cargo bay that span seven levels in total. Although most ship modules inStarfieldshare a similar futuristic look, lolsforalls23 still managed to combine them into a faithful recreation of the Prydwen’s iconic steampunk design. The player also nailed the original vessel’s color palette, which is dominated by shades of black and dark gray.
Bethesda’s galaxy-hopping RPG limits custom ships to 130 modules, which makes a 1:1 recreation of the Prydwen impossible to engineer without mods. In order to circumvent that restriction, lolsforalls23 advised players to either mod their game or use console commands to raise the vessel module limit, albeit without clarifying which of the two options they themselves used. Reflecting on their achievement, the fan opined that a similar build should still be possible in the vanilla version of the game, so long as the player is prepared to sacrifice some scale. For clarity, apart from the aforementioned module limit,Starfieldalso limits the width and length of custom vessels to 131 feet (40 meters) each.
This impressive spacecraft is the first knownStarfieldrecreation of one of themost breathtakingFallout 4locationsthat is the Prydwen. And while its creator was clearly aiming to nail a specific look, that’s not to say that they ended up sacrificing function over form. On the contrary, their take on the Prydwen boasts an immense cargo capacity, holds ten crew slots, and packs enough shielding to withstand some serious punishment. It also comes with enough firepower to make short work of pretty much any enemy vessel, on top of having the maximum Grav jump range of 30 light years.
This Prydwen replica adds to the list ofFallout-inspired spacecraft that Bethesda fandom managed to build since early September. Another such vessel surfaced online last month in the form of aStarfieldship shaped like the Cazador insect fromFallout: New Vegas.
