Starfield Player Shares A Huge Ship Inspired By An Evil Star Trek Race

Summary A Borg Cube ship build in Starfield impressively replicates the terrifying alien race from Star Trek.

Starfield's lack of extraterrestrial factions makes the Borg Cube stand out as an imposing vehicle.

The ship editor in Starfield allows for impressive customization.

While Starfield and Star Trek may share some similarities in terms of their tone and content, one player managed to make the connection even more authentic with an impressive ship build that evokes the terror of one of the most fearsome alien races in all of fiction. Bethesda's latest sci-fi RPG may feature a handful of alien creatures for players to battle but when it comes to intelligent life, Starfield's take on the galaxy is somewhat lonely, especially when exploring the surface of a planet. Still, having no extraterrestrial factions is certainly more desirable than coming face-to-face with the Borg.

Shared to Reddit by user nathantravis2377, the Starfield fan showed off their ship designed to replicate the appearance of a terrifying Borg Cube, the vessel that transports the Star Trek villains throughout the cosmos.

The creator notes that they used around 240 different modules to create the imposing vehicle, revealing that it's largely hollow to keep the overall mass low enough to fly. In terms of weaponry, while a Borg Cube is usually stuffed full of weapons, this ship only sports four Particle Beams, four Ballistic Auto Turrets, and four shield generators.

The Borg Are Terrifying In Star Trek

They Would Fit Perfectly Into Starfield

Despite the incredible size and scale of nathantravis2377's Borg Cube, the creator insists that it was actually a rather simple ship to design. While the shape is no doubt basic, actually fitting together all the necessary parts to make the vessel airborne without exceeding mass restrictions must have been an incredibly challenging task. How it fairs in combat remains unknown but one has to imagine that the amount of armor packed into every corner will ensure it's protected even in the most deadly of dogfights.

Starfield certainly has plenty of hostile alien forces for players to fight when they opt to settle down and establish an outpost but the addition of a hyper-intelligent force like the Borg would be a real game-changer. Unmatched in terms of their brutal efficiency and technology, the Borg are a race of cyborgs that travel through the galaxy collecting data and knowledge from every species in encounters, feeding it all into its hive mind through a process known as "assimilation." Terrormorphs may be extremely scary when they're discovered infesting a planet, but they have nothing on the Borg.

While Starfield may have received mixed reviews at launch for its lackluster writing and gameplay, one aspect that pleased both players and critics was the ship editor. The in-depth nature of the system which includes hundreds of different modules and parts allows for some fantastic customization that's only really limited by the amount of resources needed to piece it all together. One can only hope that Bethesda leans into this aspect of the game in any upcoming updates to expand upon it even further.
