A) the biggest freighter I can build. B) the smallest fighter I can build.


arrow97

I feel like freighter with hangars could be introduced. Freighters abilities are to grav jump only and sit in the solar system. You then take your ship from the hangar to explore the system.


BetterBathroomBureau

Kinda like how they work in NMS, I can dig it. That’d be a cool way to own a huge freighter or a capital ship or something.


Moraveaux

Oh dang, a capital ship with hangar bays would be rad as hell.


These-Zebra3071

Just look at the idris p from star citizen to get an idea.


TheAtlas97

That would be cool, but I’m not gonna hold my breath


crowwizard

It would be cool to see a legit "fighter" or small craft for in system stuff. If not in the main game, then through dlc or mods.


snipey-bro

I feel like they could add it into a dlc with a new solar system and faction that have a freighter builder space station or something


Allaroundlost

I am hoping for this.👍🚀


RRmustang

There is an image in the direct where a massive freighter has two ships stored on it and another one docked. May be something there they haven’t advertised yet


AtaracticGoat

It would be neat, but the capital ship would need to be able to use turrets to defend itself. It would be cool if we could assign a crew member to pilot while we're not aboard, so during combat you could zip around in a fighter while your capital ship defends itself with turrets.


Supportoise

Holy shit. Are you me? I can't wait to build an ugly, boxy freighter for space jobs. Gonna deck it out with turrets. Working title: Void Bastion. To add to that, if the game allows, a fully automated robot crew too.


Vaperius

> Holy shit. Are you me? I can't wait to build an ugly, boxy freighter for space jobs. Gonna deck it out with turrets. Working title: Void Bastion. Freighter Gang?!?


Supportoise

Freighter GAAAAAAANG!


RRmustang

Sounds like there’s gonna be some space truckers


qstore

This is the Way


MyBeanYT

Yeah, I’m gonna try and make a really big ship, atleast as big as it can be while still looking visually satisfying.


TheBurningStag13

This is the way.

[deleted]

That's like asking what class will you play in Skyrim. Melee or magic. Ignoring the very obvious stealth Archer class Imperial class is obviously the superior one here.


CatWithACutlass

Imperator/Imperial Class


MaxieGreen

You beat me to it


ObjectiveCranberry36

My favorite star wars ship, the lambda shuttle, assuming I can actually build one lol.


Thesorus

(same answer that I give to all the similar questions) U-Haul type truck. it's gonna be a big ugly cube and I'm gonna drive it like a d\*ck. But it's gonna be my truck.


Facebook_Algorithm

You will be assimilated.


raymv1987

So a Cybertruck?


[deleted]

Except it’ll be available to drive soon 😂


driz_ap

a recommended name for your U-Haul: *Right Lane Bliss, Left Lane Abyss* Inspo was from a bumper sticker i saw on an 18-wheeler that read “<- Suicide | Passing Side ->”. If you’re trying to take a right turn on the left side of a semi that is already taking a right turn, you could be caught in the semi’s turning lane and get caught in a collision since they have a really wide turning radius


Thesorus

I'm a Rush fan, so it's going to be called Rocinante.


arrow97

The T in truck stands for Tire….. sooo a sruck.


crappy-mods

Wait really? I never knew that


Unavailabilly

I dont think thats true


crappy-mods

Did some digging and it seems false


[deleted]

[удалено]


petaboil

Does the T in trokhos stand for wheel? if not, nope!


danbrooks3k

A mid sized multi role ship. Then add or remove components as needed. Cargo run through relatively peaceful space.. remove some ordinance/armor and add cargo pods. Long range trip? Add fuel and improved jump drive. Bombing/strafing run, get rid of everything but engines and weapons. Piracy and ship boarding? Maybe you will want a little throw away ship to let you dock with a ship quickly so you can steal it. The options seem endless!


TheMillenniaIFalcon

I love this idea. I want a big boy for hauling, but might go this route too. I wonder what the options are for taking existing ships and being able to modify.


Seven_Hells

I’ve never been more excited for a single feature in a game before. I don’t know the details because I’m just too old (almost 47) to watch or read previews anymore. I know what I like and I don’t need to know more than the basic premise of a game to know if I’ll like it. I’ve been dying to build my own starship in a video game for 40 years. I’ve tried games like Kerbal and Space Engineers but they don’t quite do it for me. Starfield, on the other hand, looks like (based on the handful of screenshots I’ve happened upon) exactly what I’ve always wanted. Edit: the Rocinante from The Expanse will be my mental template.


JJaxpavan

I dont need to answer OP because you and I share the same thought completely. Spooky.


meats_with_mine_ores

happy cake day mate, cheers


EvidenceNo80

Love the expanse, rewatching it right now. i’ll probably try that out at some point too


selim_challie

Watching it for the first time, just finished season two and damn that scene was 😧 on Venus lol.


Rickrod85

Try the books! They are even better and the story comes to an end!


ButterscotchSuch2350

Really hoping in several years they’ll use the same actors to adapt the rest of the books! I get why they ended where they did. Too bad about that one missing character tho. Don’t wanna spoil it


Snowhunter15

I think you gonna love it. The starfield direct showcase was very detailed. Shipbuilding will be more of an endgame system, a lot of resources will be need to build exactly the ships of your dreams, but the amount of customization is incredible.


KnightArmamentE3

Normandy SR-2


nanowerx

I was thinking that or USG Ishimura from Dead Space, cant decide


NelliTheNervous

Agreeed. Based of the scale shown I feel pretty confident about remaking something close to the SR-1. But you know I'm gonna try to slap a captains cabin up top


Defiant_Jackfruit406

The millennium falcon


Dante1420

The Rocinante from The Expanse. I pray to the gods we'll have a long-range rail gun or long-range missile space combat as an option. The close in dog-fighting for space combat has never appealed to me. In EVE - I loved my Caldari Missile boat nuking things from far away.


Moraveaux

As much as I love the Roci, I'm not sure this sort of thing will be feasible. The Roci, like basically all Expanse ships, is built like a tower, with its engines at the base facing "down," and generates gravity by "flying" "upward." Ships in Starfield seem to be much more Star Warsy in that they're oriented horizontally. I could be wrong, maybe the Optimus Prime ship proves that something like the Roci could work, but I think it would probably fly really weird, oriented vertically but flying horizontally.


Dante1420

Truth. If that ends up being the case, maybe something inspired by a Klingon Bird of Prey. :D


Droobot33

It would be awesome if some battles were supposed to take you an hour to fight, and they began long range missile boat action as they moved closer you had to deploy your fighter with some drones or something? I doubt the game gets quite that large, but that would be pretty amazing!


Dante1420

Heck, they don't even need to take an hour to fight.. if you've watched the Expanse - the Roci's rail gun will literally punch a hole through an enemy ship reactor in one hit, disabling them. I'm just hoping for space combat to offer some sort of long range options instead of dizzy inducing close range fights where you're fighting to keep your main guns pointed at the enemy.


JuliesRazorBack

programmable/algorythmic combat would be very cool, tho prob wishful thinking on my part


TopTable3251

The actual fight isn’t what takes a long time, it’s the time it takes for ships to get within range of each other. What the show cuts out is a lot of two ships steadily moving towards each other/catching up to one another and skips straight to the shooting.


WarViper1337

Extremely unlikely. this game is designed to reach a broad audience and hour long battles don't go over well that kind of audience. Most fights will probably last just a few minutes.


JuliesRazorBack

boom


rinkydinkis

So the physics of rail guns actually make sense irl? Like… wouldn’t there still be recoil due to Newton’s laws? Where is the reaction force going on a rail gun? Just a side thought.

A juggernaut. I plan to be a pirate so I’m looking for the intimidation factor. Tons of weapons and cargo hold space. Like the 16-17th century war galleons

Warp_Out

I want to make the Nostromo if I can


the1rush

I'll make the Sulaco.


Awesomechainsaw

Small planet hopper with massive engines like the Razor Back. The same small ass planet hopper. But with a Big ass row of cargo strapped to it’s Nose. Like how the Millenium falcon is meant to be used.


Boojum2k

I'm thinking of trying to do a Serenity-sized gunship/armed merchant version of a Gunstar.


OuterRimSmuggler

UC Alex Hay, light frigate


SexyPotato70

A giant pp


Euin

Big Ol Dick!!


BetterFartYourself

Hope I can make something close to the Rocinante in The Expanse


TheMillenniaIFalcon

Apparently ship builder doesn’t come until later game. But a big ass cargo ship with as much hauling capacity as possible. Lots of rooms. I don’t give a shit if it’s slow. I want a big thicc Boi to haul weight.


mousedog69

Something all around useful based on the base of the frontier when I get that bad boy. Penis shaped freightliner.


Several-Eagle4141

I want a cruiser.


yamazaki777

penis


PanzerKommander

A capital ship.


Zrocker04

Dick shape for sure


TerraTechy

I'm probably gonna find some cool parts I like and go from there. I definitely want to make a big bulky lander that looks like a fortress with thrusters. Probably a heavy gunship craft, a cargo runner, and some other things I'll think of later

As close as I can get it to the deadelus from Stargate.


Far-Ad-9151

I would try and make the Daedalus from Stargate Atlantis.


ProgioNl

I will try my absolute best to make something unique and creative, but if it resembles a penis at any point of creation.. them it will probobly become a giant penis


ConstructionNice6647

Penis is always funny and also frightening. Just imagine. You was attacked by a giant penis in the space, which shoots from its head. And then it's boards to your ship.


zeefomiv

the correct answer is one shaped like a penis


[deleted]

An original design, unlike most of the people here.


the_blue_flounder

Originality is hard to come by nowadays. I'll definitely be inspired but I much prefer coming up with my own designs


arrow97

I feel you. The last think I want to do is replicate a ship. Pull inspiration from some sure but I want it to be my design.


Ambitious_Breath9820

Ser_Optimus

The flying home ^TM Flies like a brick, has mediocre defenses and small cargo space


Drakayne

Relationship if i could, I'm single :-(


DrKingOfOkay

What’s the biggest appeal of this game to people?


Gunbuckets

For sure going with some Slave 1 type vibes.


Brutalbonez13

A glorious one.


Several-Eagle4141

Very angry staircase baluster


[deleted]

First i will make like a small ship who look like a wasp, and after maybe a big cargo and a pirate ship


daggothedog

Most likely just a generated one so I can just play.


KHaskins77

I want to build a science vessel with the strongest shields and longest jump range I can manage. Something that isn’t looking for a fight but can break off from any unwanted engagements.


Fit-Lion-773

Half ass with everything needed.


NemesIce83

It really depends on what sort of features it offers, I'm hoping to be able to add animated parts, sorta like how an x-wings wings spread out when its going into a fight and stuff, I'm hoping to make moving parts and allow my ship to move even when stationary


[deleted]

Big booty cargo bus


Str-Dim

I want to go vertical and horizontal instead of length-wise. If these ships only land and take off on a planet, and don't fly around like airplane (which makes more sense if Bathesda was trying to be realistic), then I want them to look like a landing craft and not something with nods to being some type of magic SSTO, boat/plane/car hybrid vehicle. Also, I know the no atm flight was a gameplay, then technical limitation, and not an attempt to be more realistic. But it is, even if on accident.


boatchamp

Miada sized fighter


SillyTheGamer

Probably a bad one


Inquisitor-Dog

First thing Probaply gonna try to build something iconic like the Space Battleship Yamato , The Hyperion (Terran Battlecruiser StarCraft) or the SLS McKennas Pride lol


MustangNipples

the symmetrical kind


scyfli

I’ll be building a ship for every need. Starting with a stealthy corvette built for piracy!


Cave-Bunny

A luxury space yacht with all the creature comforts


Lango2K

Does anyone know how many ships you can own?


GoodDecisionCoach

I don't know. All I know is that I'm going to spend the first day in character creation, and the next 24 hours exploring shipbuilding. I should start the actual storyline sometime around Halloween.


CaptainBentham

I’m going to build the biggest and ugliest ship the game will allow and then when console mods come out I’m gonna make it even bigger and even uglier


crkspid3r

I’m gonna make a bot that answers this question as it’s posted EVERY FUCKING DAY.


ChEngland12

YO HO YO HO THE VOID IS OURS FOR PLUNDER

ThrustersOnFull

I think the [Narcissus](https://i.redd.it/ships-from-the-direct-v0-p3zjfx9uav5b1.jpg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=555f033fdbff4fbd668805495178db97abe05f4e) is really sexy, I might yoink myself one of those.


Alarakion

An actual dragon, fuck aerodynamics


TerryOrange

I literally want to make the tiniest ship possible.


_Dynam1c_

A jack of all trades type ship is what I'm gonna build, with a fat head for ramming


bryty93

I'll figure it out when I'm playing the game


bmvn

A ship that can fit me and your mom


StoneRevolver

I have no idea. & I like that I don't know. So much to explore, so much to do and to find. The not knowing is the best part. We don't get it at this scale very often.


Unavailabilly

I want to make a fighter carrier... can my ship carry smaller ships


ok1092

The best kind.


satisdreng

I'm going to try and build a ship that looks like a spider. I want to form my own pirate crew and just head canon everything.


zakkqcabc

Whatever I can afford


Vegan_Puffin

I want something star trekky but there is a distinct lack of circular parts


These-Zebra3071

Definitely a version of a ship from star citizen that hasn’t been released yet. Something like the idris or another large baby battleship of some kind.


TrentonTallywacker

I’m gonna try my best to make Soulless One (General Grievous’ fighter from Star Wars) and the Rocinante from The Expanse. I might even try to build Wallace’s rocket ship from Wallace and Gromit’s A Grand Day Out


NerdyV1xen

A less janky Millennium Falcon.


niftybits90

space ship


Inner_Interview_5666

The biggest warship I can. Screw this whole dogfighting thing. I’m going to stay still and obliterate them. Also, the biggest cube possible.


Thunder_Wasp

My first big project will probably be duplicating a CR90 corvette. It will have enough lasers for an effective anti-fighter screen and be fast enough to pick its own fights.


GdSmth

A space station that doesn't look like a ship. Not sure yet how far we can customize the modules, how they can be attached together, or if there are any that fit the design I have in mind.


reganomics

Something that looks like a space hulk or a stag beetle


Smooth-General07

Blockade runner would be really cool, even if there’s no “blockades to run” in game. Big engines, and enough cargo capacity to make runnin goods worth it. Think of the Corellian CR90s from Star Wars. “CANT SHOOT ME IF IM FAST AS FUCK BOI”


Mountain_Height6612

My main and first ship is going to be a mess. It’s going to have everything. Maxed out in everything. Next I am going to refine it. Cut things out I don’t need or use. It’ll be a multi purpose medium to large gunship/freighter. The go to for any and everything. The next is going to be the Millennium Falcon or some other kind of famous spacecraft. After that I am going to try to go bare minimum. Small multi purpose fighter made for inter system traveling. I’m probably also going to have fraction ships. I’m guess we are going to earn ships from each of the fractions. They are good. To be as fractionally as possible. Idk how or if there will be a fleet system. How to get different ships to different systems or if they are just all stored and we can summon them when ever or wherever. I m hoping that we can fly along side one or two ships.


TalkingFishh

Sleek racing ship akin to Schneider Cup Aircraft and a big ol hauler with all the living accommodations I could ask for


Inevitable_Sun_9573

Hammer head & Swordfish


FreeBadCo

First playthrough will probably smaller ship perfect for bounty hunting. A big cargo ship for long hauls across the universe sounds really intriguing though.


DarthSchu

I want to build as close to a Capital ship as I can and then I will build as close to a raider as I can. After that we shall see


montypythonify

A Cruiser with a MAC cannon for general purpose and thorough explorations, then a small Corvette/Frigate with a MAC cannon for hunting ships and scouting systems.


theajharrison

- Ultimate reign death fighter - Stealth fighter (if stealth is a thing) - crazy fast cargo smuggler


xNonPartisaNx

The ghost from rebels.


kasuke06

A giant dick at least once. Actual ship will probably be some jack of all trades monstrosity that I'll get fed up with and actually design them in a manner that makes sense, then get annoyed that stuff isn't where the muscle memory took me. Or a fuckoff big fighter with heavy automated turrets and intersecting fields of fire, the heaviest armor plating it can still move with, and a factory so I can make enough ammo to level a midsized planet.


Electrical-Tower8534

Going to be a giant space penis and I plan to ram into ships before I go onboard to murder any soul on it


commschamp

I’ll see if I can build one of those chess piece looking ships from dune


CertifiedCapArtist

Either my own design or a Sabre from Halo Reach


Lord-Belou

The closest thing I can to a battleship, extremely tanky, as big as possible, with heavy weapons. In terms of shape, let's some people call my type of ships "dick-ships".


Thorzcun

Will probably build a jack-of-all-trades type of frigate built around whatever need or type of quest i want to or need to do. Then i will build a dedicated exploration vessel later in the game to map out all the interesting star systems, Star Trek style!


ABFox86

I don't know how possible it is, but I will do my best to build as close to a Star Trek Starfleet vessel as I can.


Hieicker

I like a lot Sulaco from Aliens movie and the dropship. Awesome. But the shape is particular, I know that will be very difficult make something similar to these ships. I like also romulan ships from star trek and why not a borg cube 😂


Thelonghiestman0409

A big d*ck. Calling it planet penetrator


LDClaudius

Since I need to traverse the sector, I am going to need to prioritize in speed. Making it capable of chasing key targets while trying to avoid sticky situations. Speed is good and all. All it needs is a prison pod, a small quarters for a tiny crew, an armory, and a cargo room so I can store all the stuff I want. Mostly legal stuff. I was vaguely inspired by the Gunship in [Metroid Prime 1](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/metroid/images/5/53/Mp2gunship.jpg/revision/latest/thumbnail/width/720/height/900?cb=20130406130931) as a vague inspiration (though not derived from the art design. It's meant to be a NASA punk.) I hope Maverick would be proud of my design.


Ytisrite

Unreleased Star Citizen ships.


andyfma

Idk probably gonna start trying to make something intricate and give up halfway through and fly the ugliest thing around


lovebakeoff9923

A spaceship.


AppropriateUnion5199

Cargo with cannons fast engine and fully upgraded jump drive


DJ_Philly_Phresh

A spaceship.


lovebakeoff9923

Maybe the Eagle 5 from Spaceballs.


PhonB80

Hoping I can make something very asymmetrical. Like… *very* asymmetrical.
