Summary
AStarfieldplayer has constructed their ship to be so tall that the ladder connecting the ship’s floors looks like it comes straight out ofMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The preposterously tall ship is just another example of howStarfieldallows players to build the spaceship of their dreams, even if that dream is to build a flying apartment complex.
Shipbuilding is a key part of theStarfieldexperience, as it gives players the option to turn their ship into whatever they want, from Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter from theStar Warsprequels to theBatplane from Tim Burton’sBatmanfrom 1989. The system can be daunting at first, but once players learn the ropes after some trial and error, their patience is rewarded with the ability to craft a ship of their own design that best fits their in-game needs.

The footage comes from a member of theStarfieldsubreddit who goes by the name of Hostgr. The video begins with the player already a few floors up the ladder, then continues for another solid 30 seconds of ladder climbing before reaching the top. They even tossed in theJames Bond-inspiredSnake Eaterthemethat plays as Big Boss climbed the interminably long ladder in the PS2 classic.
It appears the ship is eight or nine stories tall, and all told it probably takes close to a full minute to get from the bottom floor to the top. That’s a lot of cargo space. In response to a commenter asking to see a picture of the ship from the outside, Hostgr said they’d post one some other time, as the build isn’t quite done yet, but that they are trying to build aStarfieldversion of a Naglfar,a dreadnaught-class ship fromEve Online. Naglfar are massive ships that look like jagged swords that slice through space as they move. Where the classic idea of a spaceship seen throughout the history of science fiction imagines the ship’s body extending horizontally like an airplane, Naglfar ships are vertical, essentially making them look like floating skyscrapers that might otherwise populate a city skyline.
Some players are making their ships look like they were ripped straight out of the handful ofmega-popular sci-fi properties likeStar Warsthat everyone knows and loves. However, there’s at least oneStarfieldplayer out there taking a different approach by finding their influence in starships of more niche science fiction universes.
Starfieldis available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
