Designing custom ships is one of the most exciting features of Starfield, and players are taking full advantage of it by recreating their favorite ships from iconic video games, movies, and television series. The ingenuity and time spent building these ships are remarkable, and the players should be recognized for their efforts. So, we have scoured Reddit users’ posts, and here are the 10 best custom ship designs in Starfield for you to enjoy!
The best custom ship designs in Starfield
Here are the 10 best custom ship designs in Starfield!

Reddit user alvalvalv recreated the White Base, a pegasus-class assault landing ship, appearing in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin and the OVA adaption.
9. Borg Cube

Reddit user InginousIdiocy made a Borg Cube used by the Borg Collective in the Star Trek franchise. Don’t mind that when flying the ship in 3rd person, the Borg Cube takes up the entirety of the screen. Just the sight of the Borg Cube is enough to frighten away any would-be attackers due to its sheer destructive powers.
8. Swordfish II

Reddit user ZUPER_CHEF recreated Spike Spiegel’s ship, the Swordfish II, from Cowboy Bebop.
7. UNSC Pelican

Reddit user SecsHaven12 recreated his favorite ship from the Halo franchise, the UNSC Pelican. This also looks like the drop ship from Alien, which the Pelican was based on when designed, so this is a two-for-one!
6. Kilrathi
Reddit user emperorkestahl recreated the Heavy Fighter ships used by the Kilrathi from the Wing Commander series.
5. Millenium Falcon

Reddit user Krunkstep77 recreated the Millenium Falcon from Star Wars. Since you can smuggle goods in Starfield, who would want to emulate the most popular smuggler in history, Han Solo, by flying his iconic ship?
4. Firefly Class

Reddit user neok182 made a faithful recreation of the Firefly Class ships from the hit TV series Firefly.
3. Prometheus

While Reddit user SFM_Hobb3s admits this is still a work in progress, we would be happy to fly around in the Prometheus from the Alien franchise. Now, we need a mod to create custom companions to have David onboard.
2. Dauntless Star

Reddit user A_Retarded_Alien wins the award for the most unique custom ship not based on an IP. He calls it the Dauntless Star, featuring three decks with a large crew of seven. I could see this ship being the basis for a sci-fi series like Star Trek.
1. X-Wing

My absolute favorite custom ship build in Starfield goes to Reddit user Fudgie_Brown, who made a fantastic recreation of the iconic X-Wing from Star Wars. This should be called the XXXL-Wing because it is a big boy! The Rebels would have swiftly won the war if they all flew ships of this size!
Author’s Note: I wrote this guide while playing Starfield on Xbox Series S.
