Starfield Player Builds Incredible F-35 Lightning II Ship

A Starfield player has shared their incredible build online, depicting an F-35 Lightning II aircraft if it was pilotable in-game. Starfield allows players to build their own custom spacecraft, but this creation brings a real design into the virtual world.

Before the launch of Starfield, shipbuilding was one of the features that excited players the most from the footage shown. It promised a lot, as did other elements of the game. Although there are many who feel that Starfield did not live up to the overall hype with plenty of aspects of its gameplay, the shipbuilding in Starfield is one of the areas where players widely agree on how solid it is. In the months since the game's release, there have been a ton of creative builds. Just recently, one gamer created a Charizard ship in Starfield, which shows the variety of builds that are occurring daily.

The amazing build was brought to life by Redditor QuaifeSequential in a post that shows off the ship, which heavily resembles the F-35 Lightning II aircraft. According to the player, the build came as a response to another user's F-22 Raptor build in Starfield. It's interesting that players have figured out not just how to bring their favorite aircraft to life in Starfield, but have also made them entirely functional. The game forces players to choose between aesthetic and function at times due to how the shipbuilding works, so it's impressive to see a working build that doesn't compromise on the visuals in any way.

While the creation is cool, no matter how it was brought to life, one user in the thread feels that mods may be involved, claiming that «Some of the Nova Galactic parts I see on it are in a completely different orientation.» Given the complexity of the ship, it would make sense that one of the awesome Starfield mods would offer a helping hand here. Even if mods were used, it doesn't take away from the ingenuity of this build from QuaifeSequential.
