The most memorable space ships in the world of games are the ones that really feel like home. Whether it be the Normandy in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the Milano in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, or the Unreliable in The Outer Worlds, these ships become so much more than a means of transportation. They're a base of operations, a shield to protect you from the hostile elements of space, a place where you can bond with crewmates, and, more importantly, a home you can return back to after venturing far and wide. The ships in these adventures feel like real lived-in spaces that are designed to both propel your journey forward, and offer intervals to take a breather between story missions.
This September, Starfield is promising to let us buy, create, and customize ships to turn them into a flying homestead of our very own. With an extensive suite of customization options, Bethesda is giving us the tools to bring to life our "home among the stars", as lead ships artist Ryan Sears put it in the Starfield Direct. Since space exploration is such a huge part of Starfield, the myriad choices on offer that allow us to personalize, upgrade, and tweak our ships is easily one of the most appealing aspects of the new RPG.
