A Starfield player shows you the different lengths of wire they used to make Futurama’s Planet Express Ship

Good news, everyone!

Your Starfield ship might be great, but there isnā€™t even the slightest possibility that itā€™s as great as the Planet Express Ship. We can fix that. User SP74 has shown on Reddit the process for creating the iconic electric mucus-colored, goldfish-shaped spacecraft.

The Planet Express Ship (sometimes known as Old Bessie) first appeared in the pilot episode of Futurama. It was designed and built by Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth as a replacement for the previous ship piloted by one of his many doomed crews. It is often portrayed as either a technological wonderment or a slapdash jalopy, depending on the episode.

The one created by SP74 is a pretty decent likeness. Itā€™s sort of chunkier, less sleek, and it kind of lacks the retro sci-fi fins. I guess itā€™s the NASA-punk version. But you can definitely tell what itā€™s supposed to be, and it even includes the window placement. You could make some pretty wiz deliveries with that bad girl.

Iā€™ve paid so little attention to Starfieldā€™s build-up to launch that I missed the fact that you could build your own ship. I still havenā€™t reached the point in the game where it lets me play around with ships, but Iā€™m pretty excited to have the opportunity. Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll make a few butt-ugly configurations before finally saying screw it and just building the Planet Express Ship, even if it has a mobility rating of zero. So, thanks SP74, this looks great.

Just a heads up, though, it might be hard to build with an un-modded parts merchant. “It will probably be a huge pain in the ass to try and build this in vanillaā€¦” says SP74.

Starfield is available right now for Xbox and PC platforms. Thereā€™s a good chance that youā€™re already playing it, considering it seems like half the world is currently enraptured.
