Best video game ships in Starfield guide: Halo Pelican, Mass Effect Normandy, and more

Starfield's early access is off to a successful start, with over 230,000 players playing on Steam alone. While a vast majority will commence their adventures starting September 6, the community has already got their hands busy showcasing their creativity. While a part of it is related to the character creation mode, it's the ships that are gaining popularity.

Ships are one of the most integral parts of the game, and there are many different options to pick from. Moreover, players can choose to customize the ones they use and change their appearance in-game.

This feature has allowed some to go the extra mile by paying tribute to other space-themed games. A few have created iconic ships from games like Mass Effect and Halo and used them in Bethesda's latest space opera.
