Summary
A player used the ship builder inStarfieldto recreate the titular ship from the cult classicEvent Horizon. ThoughStarfield’s rating on Steamhasn’t been favorable in recent weeks, the latest Bethesda sandbox has quite a few remarkable gameplay features that have kept the community engaged. First and foremost, its ship builder has allowedStarfieldfans to recreate their favorite sci-fi vessels, from the Millennium Falcon to the SSV Normandy, as well as given them the tools to create wondrous original designs.
Thoughexploration inStarfieldis primarily focused on terrain as opposed to the stars, players have ample opportunities to test out their starships during combat sequences in space. Crimson Fleet Pirates and Va’ruun Zealots will be a challenge in the early sections of the game, and there’s a certain degree of risk in every grav jump untilStarfieldplayers can suitably deck out their ships with the most powerful gear.
The dangers of interstellar exploration was one of the themesEvent Horizonexplored in a horrific fashion, and many fans of the movie saw the overt parallels it had with the lore ofWarhammer 40K. ThoughEvent Horizonwas considered a flop when it premiered in 1997, the movie found an enduring popularity in DVD sales, and went on to become a cult classic over the years, leaving behind a significant legacy in the sci-fi horror genre. AStarfieldplayer named Diamondangel82 managed to recreate the iconic ship fromEvent Horizon, posting the results on the game’s official subreddit.
The ship’s ominous silhouette was captured perfectly by Diamondangel82, as manyStarfieldplayers directed compliments towards the design, while others reminisced about their experience of watchingEvent Horizon. Though the latest Bethesda title does not necessarily explore its themes in such a horrifying way, theUC Vanguard faction inStarfieldhas received plenty of praise for daring to go a shade darker than the other storylines in the game – with many fans wishing the terrormorphs were the main villains instead.
Though theupcoming Shattered Space DLCremains a mystery, the community expects that it will most likely deal with the enigmatic House Va’ruun faction. House Va’ruun has had a very limited presence inStarfield, despite being one of the three major powers of the Settled Systems (and its outlying stars). Their unique weapons, culture, and overall aesthetic seems to have sparked the imaginations of many a fan, and even if the first ofStarfield’s DLCs doesn’t explore the Great Serpent faithful, it’s almost a given that House Va’ruun will find itself in the spotlight at some point in the game’s future.
Starfieldis available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
