One Starfield modder has replaced every single spaceship in the game with childhood mascot Thomas the Tank Engine, and the results are absolute nightmare fuel.
“For his crimes against God and his invention of murder, Thomas was smote, thusly,” explains modder Trainwiz. “Rejected from Hell and obviously never going into Heaven, they say that the Tank Engine has been banished to wander the stars forever, unable to satiate his bloodlust and unable to find peace in his heart.” Laying eyes on Thomas' interstellar form is only slightly traumatizing, but don’t worry, space Thomas isn’t real. He can’t hurt you.
Should you want to see Thomas’ unblinking cold stare, lifeless complexion, and threatening smirk in Starfield, you can download the mod on NexusMods. Once you do so, the locomotive icon replaces all spaceships in the game. That includes whatever ship you’re flying, but also every single enemy ship. (So I guess space Thomas can in fact hurt you, sorry.) “Yes, that includes the Starborn ship,” Trainwiz says, “No, I will not apologize.” The modder took a break from working on their own space flight game, Underspace, to curse us with the mod.
