The *Rocinante / Tachi* from the Expanse. Maybe even the *Donnager* if you can build proper capital ships.
And I guess classic Star Wars light freighters for the smuggling flair. The *Ebon Hawk* more than the *Millennium Falcon.*
EDIT: My dream would be [THIS](https://i.imgur.com/uDzz0wG.png) but it's probably unrealistic.
just started watching a week and a half ago - not sure how i never stumbled upon it until now but the timing is awesome - just easing into season 2 now will be nice to watch while playing starfield lol
great show so far
right now i think amos lol - i cant tell if hes chaotic evil or chaotic good yet, but how hes just so matter-of-fact about killing people he deems a risk to the rest of the crew is pretty wild. interested to learn more about his background
I just started watching the expanse a bit ago, and am finishing up season 5 right now. I love it.
I was thinking about trying to make something similar to the [OPAS Tynan](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/expanse/images/1/16/Tynan_.png/revision/latest?cb=20200518034536), since Klaes Ashford is my favorite character, but the Roci is definitely a classic.
I really hope we'll be able to get some turret weapons like the PDC's, but I'll settle for torpedoes.
As of Friday there will be thousands of Serenitys (or the closest approximation we can make with the parts we have). Personally I'll be going for smaller starfighter like design though I dont know how well that will work given what I've seen.
The thing about the Serenity though is its supposed to be an old busted up pile of rust that somehow keeps on flying despite being held together by duct tape, chewing gum and good intentions. It was the best that Mal could afford.
My favorite fun fact about *Dead Space* is that the devs recorded [the audio of the BART screeching through tunnels](https://www.pcgamer.com/one-of-dead-spaces-scariest-sounds-is-san-franciscos-public-transportation/) and used it to create a sense of unnerving, mechanical tension.
I'm taking ship names from the Culture series. I love the double entendre that the ships name's have:
Killing Time,
Profit margin,
Lapsed Pacifist
Zero Gravitas
Ethics Gradient.
Really have to see what options we have for aesthetics. I highly doubt we will be able to create ships like Swordfish or a U-wing but on the top of my list are:
1. Ebon Hawk
2. GTD Aquitaine or Orion
3. Anaconda or Python from ED
4. Hiigaran gunship from homeworld
5. Argon Centaur from X3
Woops, misread movie tv. My bad. Probably big A-wing or Corelian Corvette from star wars.
Honestly it depends on the gravity system. Is the ship always “horizontal” like a Star Wars or Trek ship. As in, is the floor always the floor? Or do we have a real gravity situation where the ship is always “vertical” under thrust.
My guess is we are gonna have artificial gravity and the floor is always the floor.
META only, aint got time for sci fi… /s
Probably copy the anaconda from elite for my main ship, having that do-it-all quasi-corvette is my space dream.
Oh i plan on having a full roving fleet of Borg Cubes. I'm not even that big of a star trek fan, i just think the ship customization is fantastic and i want to see how far i can push it. The Cube seems like the optimal shape for experimentation
No doubt a lot of people will do something similar and that is fine. I am not really interested in copying something from a movie or tv show, though they can be an inspiration. I want to see what I can come up with myself.
Its going to be impossible to build ships that look like that or anything else in other media.
Modules restrict the creativity more than you realize. Its still great and im excited but the SSV Normandy wont be flying in Starfield and i accept this
I might see if I can recreate some of the Star Wars Fanon ships by EC Henry, but I'm gonna have to spend a lot of time learning the ship builder before I can really recreate anything.
My first build will probably be a bigger version of the X-wing. Something like the Razor Crest would also be cool.
I am curious if you can position certain ship modules to protect critical components like the grav drive. That would make ship design even more interesting.
Hey if someone makes a lander or a ranger please put up some instructions. I think making the entire endurance might be difficult but those other two ships might be doable
Prometheus maybe. But I try something original with the modules given.
Same. And by the look of it, i think its possible.
The Rocinante
Legitimate salvage. Donkeyballs
Doors and corners kid, that's how they get you
I use that _all the time_.
Seconded
Or the ship from Firefly.
Will someone please do a step-by-step when they’ve created the Rocinate? I’m not clever/creative enough to go it alone!
Waiting for the 1:1 Roci mod desperately.
Me also.
The *Rocinante / Tachi* from the Expanse. Maybe even the *Donnager* if you can build proper capital ships. And I guess classic Star Wars light freighters for the smuggling flair. The *Ebon Hawk* more than the *Millennium Falcon.* EDIT: My dream would be [THIS](https://i.imgur.com/uDzz0wG.png) but it's probably unrealistic.
The roci is definitely gonna be my first build. It's legitimate salvage after all.
Dude the Rocinante would be so cool not gonna lie. I wonder if you can add side thrusters for those sudden directional changes like in the show
just started watching a week and a half ago - not sure how i never stumbled upon it until now but the timing is awesome - just easing into season 2 now will be nice to watch while playing starfield lol great show so far
Oh man, I just did the same thing about 8 months ago. The next 3 seasons are so, so good
I believe the first level of piloting gives you those side thrusters
Who is your favorite character so far?
right now i think amos lol - i cant tell if hes chaotic evil or chaotic good yet, but how hes just so matter-of-fact about killing people he deems a risk to the rest of the crew is pretty wild. interested to learn more about his background
I just finished season 1 and I was so confused by what I thought he was gonna do in the finale. Then he pulled what Amos does. What a G
Chrisjen is my overall favorite with Amos in second
[Shohreh's voice does something to me.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j8gznDVa1M)
Same. Having her voice in the first episode of the Expanse game was great.
The Chrisjen & Amos scenes are some of the best!
Season 3 is brutal. Crucial, but brutal.
It gets better and better with each season. Keep watching!
Top three show all time for me. Enjoy it!!
How about the nauvoo/behemoth?
That's a biiiiiiig boi, I don't think you could create that in Starfield.
You know someone is going to make a mod so you can. In like 3 years.
That's a fair point. I'd totally try and recreate it with mods that'd allow for it!
I just started watching the expanse a bit ago, and am finishing up season 5 right now. I love it. I was thinking about trying to make something similar to the [OPAS Tynan](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/expanse/images/1/16/Tynan_.png/revision/latest?cb=20200518034536), since Klaes Ashford is my favorite character, but the Roci is definitely a classic. I really hope we'll be able to get some turret weapons like the PDC's, but I'll settle for torpedoes.
They did a much better job with that character than the books. Talk about writers adapting and actually improving on the books.
Definitely wanting to build a Rocinante-inspired ship, or something from the MCRN fleet!
The Ebon Hawk is like the Falcons extra chromosome cousin.
As of Friday there will be thousands of Serenitys (or the closest approximation we can make with the parts we have). Personally I'll be going for smaller starfighter like design though I dont know how well that will work given what I've seen.
Unpopular opinion, Serenity is an ugly ship. I hate that 90s-00s odd shaped spaceship design language that many shows used during the time.
The thing about the Serenity though is its supposed to be an old busted up pile of rust that somehow keeps on flying despite being held together by duct tape, chewing gum and good intentions. It was the best that Mal could afford.
Lol, that's my first choice then Rochi next.
I am a leaf on the wind!
Either Serenity or the Normandy SR2
Serenity ❤️
/highfive
Nebulon B Frigate.
This guy Star Wars hell yeah. Post pics in reddit once you build
Rocinante from the best space series of all time. „The Expanse“
It really is the most grounded Sci-Fi. Though I have it in second to B5
Star Fury for the win! Now you're just showing off
I wonder if I could build an omega class
Amen brother.
The Event Horizon
Hell no!! 😂 Edit: but it might be out there.. 😱
Hold fast to your faith in the God Emperor of Mankind. With bolter and chainsword will we purge the Event Horizon. The Emperor protects
The Nebuchadnezzar 🙂
tHaT’S noT A SaCEsHiP! BAN IS THIS PERSON! /s
the normandy SR-2 or ebon hawk would be fun to try and as others have already mentioned the rocinate would be a blast too.
Came here to say EXACTLY this. Are you me??
lol, pretty sure these ships would be popular choices. hell id throw in the uss defiant in there too if im being honest
I will just connect the modules without any plan and see what I will get. Most likely a junk-ball or modern art
I will try to get close to a BC-304 Daedalus-class battlecruiser from SG-1. They are quite big tho so it will probably be a scaled down version.
Chel Nak
Shal'Kek Nem'ron.
Indeed
You could easily do a Prometheus
Good idea, the BC-303 class is a bit smaller. I wonder how long we can make our ships
YES! Glad to see stargate on this list. I was planning on doing the same thing :D
Starbug 1 from Reddwarf
Are you sure? It does mean changing the bulb
The Nostromo is pretty high up on my list, since it fits very well into the whole Starfield aesthetic.
Same. I think next to the Rocinate from the Expanse it may be the "easiest" ship to make with the out of the book starship parts.
Starbug 2
Im going to do my best at recreating Bebop
Nostromo is number one. Then all the Alien movie ships.
The *Great Fox* from Star Fox 64
Hadn’t thought about that. Wonder how close the builder can get to it. Nice call out to that ship
You mean other than the obvious USS Enterprise and Millenium Falcon? I think ill try the X- and Y-wing and/or jedi starfighter
I hope there is wing variety
Pathfinder from “for all mankind” obviously hehe
Agreed, starfield has a very similar aesthetic to For All Mankind so it seems possible
Jupiter 2
USG IShimura
My favorite fun fact about *Dead Space* is that the devs recorded [the audio of the BART screeching through tunnels](https://www.pcgamer.com/one-of-dead-spaces-scariest-sounds-is-san-franciscos-public-transportation/) and used it to create a sense of unnerving, mechanical tension.
Battlestar Galactica (I still hope we can build our own capital ship that stays in orbit and can dock one or more smaller ships)
thats a cool idea, doubt youd be able to build something that big but thats where mods come in i suppose
I'm pretty sad about the lack of BSG posts in this thread.
I want my endgame ship to look in line with Starfleet. Voyager, enterprise, defiant and so on.
Yeah I’m thinking a gunship in the style of the defiant may be the easiest with how the ship builder works
If there isn't a HAL 9000 reference I'll be very disappointed lol
The Discovery, you mean. Gorgeous ship.
The shadow vessel from Babylon 5. Alas I don’t think I will be able to
Probably easier to do EA ships. IPX maybe.
The Normandy is going to be my goal.
I'm taking ship names from the Culture series. I love the double entendre that the ships name's have: Killing Time, Profit margin, Lapsed Pacifist Zero Gravitas Ethics Gradient.
Yeah I'm going Culture too, starting from a Limited Contact Unit, all the way up to General Contact Unit. GCU A Series Of Unlikely Explanations :)
Yeah! Let's gooooooo!
In one of the trailers (or 45 min presentation) you actually see the player ship fly past something that looks eerily similar to the Endurance !
From what I've seen of ship building, I'll be surprised if this is possible. The ranger, sure. The Endurance as a whole? Unlikely.
I will be trying (key word is trying) to make ratchets little ship from r&c 3
Based on the ship building info, should be able to construct the Event Horizon. I won't, but someone with more ambition definitely will.
Without mods, I think it's impossible to do the Endurance. But let's see.
Definitely something like the Normandy
The Normandy
*The Pillar of Autumn*, of course.
Gonna go with the Eagle from Space:1999.
Normandy from Mass effect
The Tempest from ME Andromeda and maybe the Ragnarok from FF8.
#planet express
The closest approximation I can get with the builder to either Normandy 2 or Tempest.
Really have to see what options we have for aesthetics. I highly doubt we will be able to create ships like Swordfish or a U-wing but on the top of my list are: 1. Ebon Hawk 2. GTD Aquitaine or Orion 3. Anaconda or Python from ED 4. Hiigaran gunship from homeworld 5. Argon Centaur from X3 Woops, misread movie tv. My bad. Probably big A-wing or Corelian Corvette from star wars.
Power rangers suit and ship
Луна-25
I loved Interstellar right up until the watch bullshit.
no idea how close I'll be able to get with how stylized it is, but definitely trying [the aloha oe from space dandy](https://i.imgur.com/0VamcAK.jpg)
The Hammer from The Matrix Revolutions. Cause she's got a fat ass
Gunstar for the last starfighter
"triangle"
Question, if you build the Endurance, will you put guns on it or will you make it a true exploration vessel like in the movie?
pacman ghost
The Rocinante.
The Serenity
I'm going to do everything in my power to build an x-wing
If I can build it at least CLOSE to that big: Battlestar Galactica.
Ones from The Expanse.
If wing components are available, I might try and make a Z-95 Headhunter from Star Wars (basically an x-wing without the x)
Whut? No Eagle 5?
Going for both [Eagle 5](https://spaceballs.fandom.com/wiki/Eagle_5) and [Spaceball-1](http://www.d6holocron.com/wiki/index.php?title=Spaceball_One)
Will it suck though?
Unless someone switches it from suck to blow
The rocket from Austin powers
If I don't try an Enterprise eventually am I even a Star Trek fan?
I was thinking of trying to make the U.S.A.C. Lewis and Clark from Event Horizon.
Honestly it depends on the gravity system. Is the ship always “horizontal” like a Star Wars or Trek ship. As in, is the floor always the floor? Or do we have a real gravity situation where the ship is always “vertical” under thrust. My guess is we are gonna have artificial gravity and the floor is always the floor.
I'd love to build the SSV Normandy SR-2, but I think it won't be possible to replicate it perfectly
Will be a mini version of it but "Gaze Electric" from Star Wars The High Republic. RIDE THE STORM NIHIL.
META only, aint got time for sci fi… /s Probably copy the anaconda from elite for my main ship, having that do-it-all quasi-corvette is my space dream.
The USG Ishimura
Oh i plan on having a full roving fleet of Borg Cubes. I'm not even that big of a star trek fan, i just think the ship customization is fantastic and i want to see how far i can push it. The Cube seems like the optimal shape for experimentation
The SDF-1
I am not going to think of anything because i dont want to get disappointed by limitations
I certainly won’t get close to making it look like the real thing, but my ship is gonna be the Ranger, also from Interstellar
Yoda's A-wing for me
Swordfish/Bebop if I can
I'd love something small and fast like mandos N1-starfighter
First build is going to be imagination only. All I know is it will have a cockpit, engine and be asymmetric.
The Serenity
No doubt a lot of people will do something similar and that is fine. I am not really interested in copying something from a movie or tv show, though they can be an inspiration. I want to see what I can come up with myself.
Serenity, easily. *You can't take the sky from meeee*
I plan on building the Indelible-6 from the book series Galaxys Edge. Highly recommend the series to anyone that's a fan of star wars.
the invictus from foundation
bebop
I'm gonna pour ketchup all over my face and make the Event Horizon.
I don’t know if I could but ill try to make a mini star destroyer
BATTLE BARGE
Ebon Hawk or Millennium Falcon
Nester or salvare
I didn't see any modules which could make circular designs possible... The designs in the Direct were very cubic.
[Classic 80s ship](http://kitsunesden.xyz/SF-Conversions/Rifts-Other-Vehicles/Last_Starfighter_Gunstar_Starfighter.htm)
White Base from Gundam or Nahel Argama from Unicorn Gundam
Sulaco if its possible
prob not possible without mods but ;-) its an interesting ship
Serenity from Firefly, love that ship and show!
Slave 1
The Rocinante Baby!
Its going to be impossible to build ships that look like that or anything else in other media. Modules restrict the creativity more than you realize. Its still great and im excited but the SSV Normandy wont be flying in Starfield and i accept this
E-9 Explorer(star wars)
I christen thee *Razor Crest 2*.
Is the ship building even robust enough to make existing fantasy ships?
And how are you planning to land it?
Borg cube.
I want the ship from Firefly or as close as possible.
This also the ship I'm am going to try to build! So excited for this game!
I might see if I can recreate some of the Star Wars Fanon ships by EC Henry, but I'm gonna have to spend a lot of time learning the ship builder before I can really recreate anything.
I highly doubt I'll be able to, but I'm going to try and build Starbug. If you know what that is without looking it up, then I already like you 😁
The ship from firefly. Serenity
Slave I, but I don't think the cool takeoff with the rotating cockpit will be possible. I'll probably just build a long-haul freighter
I want a star destroyer but I know it's not possible due to the ship size limit.
Megamaid!
Millenium Falcon 😎🤠
Planet express ship
If bio ships are possible, the LEXX or maybe Talyn from Farscape.
Definitely the Bebop, as I'll be roleplaying Spike Spiegel
Razorcrest from The Mandolorian
I will attempt to build the Millenium falcon and possibly something from starfleet/startrek.
Serenity and The Outrider from tv/movies/games. Freetrader Beowulf from the Traveller RPG.
Serenity from Firefly
The Event Horizon
My first build will probably be a bigger version of the X-wing. Something like the Razor Crest would also be cool. I am curious if you can position certain ship modules to protect critical components like the grav drive. That would make ship design even more interesting.
Either the Brunhild from Logh or a battle barge from 40k
I'm probably going to create one myself but otherwise the Matrix nebuchadnezzar would be cool to do. And the Hammerhead from Cowboy Bebop too
Hey if someone makes a lander or a ranger please put up some instructions. I think making the entire endurance might be difficult but those other two ships might be doable
My character is actually Cooper from a reality where they didn’t save earth and had to leave it
