Summary
A talentedStarfieldplayer is boldly going where no one has gone before in a replica of the legendary USS Enterprise fromStar Trek.Starfieldallows players to build their own custom spaceships to explore a vast universe filled with procedurally generated planets. This in turn has led to players remaking vessels frompopular sci-fi franchises likeStar Warsand sharing them on forums and other social media outlets sinceStarfieldlaunched on PC and Xbox Series X/S systems in September.
It should come as no surprise thatStarfieldplayers have drawn inspiration fromStar Trekas well since the long-running science fiction series reportedly served as a major inspiration for Bethesda while crafting the game’s look and feel. Fan-made tributes toStar Trekhave ranged from direct recreations of iconic ships likethe dreaded Borg Cubeto more original craft modeled after various ships from the many movies and television shows, and it would only be a matter of time before someone decided to remake the most famous vessel to ever explore the final frontier of space.
Reddit user willhamlink recently posted a series of screenshots showing their latest creation in action: a replica of the original USS Enterprise fromStar Trek. Everything aboutthe classic Starfleet flagshipis faithfully recreated, from the disklike saucer that houses the Enterprise’s many crewmembers and their families to the glowing blue thrusters that propel it across the stars at warp speed. Willhamlink noted that they had to use a mod to help capture the Enterprise’s signature design, but other users have praised them for their work all the same.
The original USS Enterprise and its various replacements are among the most iconic spaceships of not onlyStar Trekbut the science fiction genre as a whole. It was the primary focus of boththe originalStar TrekseriesandStar Trek: The Next Generation, and fans have been able to take command of the vessel once helmed by such legends as James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard in several video games over the years. Others still have used creation tools in titles likeThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KingdomandNo Man’s Skyto bring the Enterprise to life.
Now the USS Enterprise is taking flight inStarfield, a title that arguably owes much of its own existence to theStar Trekfranchise the great flagship hails from. Like the far reaches of space itself, the possibilities brought on byStarfield’s ship crafting suite appear endless, with imaginative players like willhamlink constantly showing off near-perfect renditions of famous spacecraft from across the worlds of gaming, television, and film.
Starfieldis available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
