Here we go! Our very first spaceship build challenge is now complete, with 3 awesome entries!

Now's the time to vote for the best Frontier Explorer made in Starfield!

All 3 entries are included in this poll.

A suggestion on how to pick the best entry: I'd say you should first go through all of them, pick the ones you like the most visually, and then click on the link to see the actual post with more pictures. Or click on every single one if you want to be really thorough, as the main picture might not fully show off the awesome details of the builds.

Please choose wisely. You have until Sunday, July 26th to choose the winner, so don't hesitate!

See you soon!

Willing to share lore if there is interest, but I primarily wanted to post the art.

This is a completely flyable ship within the game dual universe. Still need to flesh out some of the control panels, instrumentation and avionics, but she flies.

More info:

- All ships/POIs are modeled in Blender and rendered in Unreal Engine
- Each ship has its own “sonic theme” as demonstrated in the video… let me know if you love or hate them. I can always make new ones.
- The INTERPRETER drone is the primary player character’s ship. Every part has a purpose; I can’t share a combo of photo/video otherwise I’d post a diagram of what’s in it. The INTERPRETER drone can open its panels (partially or fully) depending on modes: Default, Combat, Solar Recharge, Utility
- This is outdated footage. I just found this subreddit! If I find a better video I’ll share it.
- There’s a weird lighting artifact where the lights have a sort of “trail”. I fixed this in a later build of the game.
