Your Starfield ship might be great, but there isn’t even the slightest possibility that it’s as great as the Planet Express Ship. We can fix that. User SP74 has shown on Reddit the process for creating the iconic electric mucus-colored, goldfish-shaped spacecraft.
The Planet Express Ship (sometimes known as Old Bessie) first appeared in the pilot episode of Futurama. It was designed and built by Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth as a replacement for the previous ship piloted by one of his many doomed crews. It is often portrayed as either a technological wonderment or a slapdash jalopy, depending on the episode.

The one created by SP74 is a pretty decent likeness. It’s sort of chunkier, less sleek, and it kind of lacks the retro sci-fi fins. I guess it’s the NASA-punk version. But you can definitely tell what it’s supposed to be, and it even includes the window placement. You could make some pretty wiz deliveries with that bad girl.
I’ve paid so little attention to Starfield’s build-up to launch that I missed the fact that you could build your own ship. I still haven’t reached the point in the game where it lets me play around with ships, but I’m pretty excited to have the opportunity. I’m sure I’ll make a few butt-ugly configurations before finally saying screw it and just building the Planet Express Ship, even if it has a mobility rating of zero. So, thanks SP74, this looks great.
Just a heads up, though, it might be hard to build with an un-modded parts merchant. “It will probably be a huge pain in the ass to try and build this in vanilla…” says SP74.
Starfield is available right now for Xbox and PC platforms. There’s a good chance that you’re already playing it, considering it seems like half the world is currently enraptured.
