There are the other ones I mentioned, but ultimately you’re right–they’re ships in a narrative sense, but practically speaking they’re space stations. They don’t seem to be pilotable. ---

I captured a Spacer Raccoon and turned it into this monstrosity over time, raking up Starship Design in the process. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/EBzRruO.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/EBzRruO) We’re about to go out for a shakedown run. ---

Hm. Need to try having the workshop and docking mechanism swap ends. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > As far as I know, the game doesn’t have any actual ship with an interior that doesn’t look like a space shuttle occupied by frat guys. Hmmm. I find the game very repetitive, and this is just another example. There isn’t a lot of variety in what to see and do. ---

Well, I believe I am almost done. I collected the last artifact, killing a bunch of Starborns and then talking the last two guys into letting me just take it. Having grabbed it, Andreja, the last character I romanced - I dumped the other ones - asked to marry me, so we did that. Now I guess I can step into the Unity. What’s the point? ---

The first character I created is nearing the end of the main storyline. I’m thinking of not taking her into NG+ and leaving that to my others. I’ve enjoyed _Elite Dangerous_ and _No Man’s Sky_; I’m used to wandering around the galaxy, not really doing anything in particular. ---

Skip to 30:05 for a ship constructed to defeat NPC targeting routines. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Hx_MjJJX2NI/maxresdefault.jpg "Starfield - 50 INSANE Ship Builds! Ship Building Is Testing The LIMITS...") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx_MjJJX2NI) ---

I’ve seen that video. Some of those designs are amazingly imaginative. The “invincible donut” design is so cheesy though… ---

Beachballs in _Starfield_ sink. Sonny Di Falco’s Island, Maheo I; watch out for secret passages in the ceiling and pirates. Yes, they can be picked up but they can’t be put in inventory. ---

I’ve been playing as my third character, the Va’Ruun, lately. Haven’t seen any other special dialog options yet. Captured a decent Crimson Fleet ship that had landed and have been adding to it. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/p30u7wF.png "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/p30u7wF) Strange thing: second time entering orbit after taking over, there was a Spacer/Freestar battle and _everyone_ was hostile without me firing a shot. ---

I’ve finally given up on the game after running into the bug that empties everything out of your apartment. It was the last straw. I’m just glad I never actually spent actual money on this game. Bethesda clearly does not know how to make functional games anymore. ---

My modified Abyss Trekker, dubbed _Outrigger_.

I think I’ll tweak the [Abyss Trekker’s](https://www.starfielddb.com/wp-content/sites/starfielddb/2023/09/starfield-abyss-trekker.jpg) original cyan to be more like that electric blue on the fuel tanks and add some white highlights.
