An accomplished Starfield enthusiast has displayed remarkable engineering skills by recreating the Brotherhood of Steel’s Prydwen zeppelin from Fallout 4 within Bethesda’s latest RPG. This accomplishment adds to the growing collection of impressive Starfield spaceships that fans have assembled since the game’s release in late summer.
Starfield offers a wealth of engaging activities, but its shipbuilding mechanics have proven to be a significant draw for fans with a penchant for tinkering. Starfield players have already created an array of extraordinary custom ships, ranging from entirely original designs to meticulous recreations.
The most recent example falls into the latter category, presented by a Reddit user named lolsforalls23, who has successfully crafted an authentic Starfield version of the Prydwen from Fallout 4. Their spacecraft closely emulates the design of the massive zeppelin featured in the single-player Fallout game, particularly its extensive hull and cargo bay spanning seven levels. Despite the fact that many ship modules in Starfield share a futuristic aesthetic, lolsforalls23 skillfully melded them to recreate the Prydwen’s iconic steampunk design. The user also accurately captured the vessel’s color scheme, predominantly characterized by black and dark gray shades.
Bethesda’s interstellar RPG imposes a limit of 130 modules for custom ships, making it impossible to create an exact replica of the Prydwen without the use of mods. To overcome this restriction, lolsforalls23 suggests that players either mod their game or use console commands to raise the module limit, although it’s not clarified which method the creator employed. Reflecting on their achievement, the fan believes that a similar build can be accomplished in the unmodified version of the game, as long as players are willing to compromise on scale. It’s important to note that aside from the aforementioned module limit, Starfield also restricts the width and length of custom vessels to 131 feet (40 meters) each.
This impressive spacecraft is the first known recreation within Starfield of one of Fallout 4’s most breathtaking locations, the Prydwen. While the creator aimed to capture a specific appearance, they haven’t sacrificed functionality for aesthetics. On the contrary, their version of the Prydwen offers substantial cargo capacity, accommodates ten crew members, and features robust shielding capable of withstanding substantial damage. Additionally, it boasts ample firepower to effortlessly deal with virtually any enemy vessel, along with a maximum Grav jump range of 30 light years.
This Prydwen replica joins the growing collection of Fallout-inspired spaceships that Bethesda fans have constructed since early September. Last month, another Starfield ship resembling the Cazador insect from Fallout: New Vegas emerged online.
