Buckle up space travelers because crossovers have landed in Starfield. Players could not settle for the standard ship options available in the game, and have built their ships as if they were in another universe, literally.
Enthusiasts of other franchises such as Halo and Mass Effect did not hold back and used the mechanics of Bethesda’s RPG to replicate the most iconic spaceship visuals in the world of video games.
Pelican and Normandy may seem like random names to the general public, but not to those who have navigated galaxies virtually. These users know the sentimental value of these first-class vehicles, at least in the hearts of gamers.
Ships From Mass Effect, Halo, And More, Are Now in Starfield
Starfield arrived with great success after a long time of waiting from fans. No matter how you feel about the game, it is easy to see that one of the title’s strongest points is the customization of the ships.
The Bethesda space RPG community is gradually beginning to display its creative side and we can now see see everything from the coolest to the most bizarre ships possible.
The intention of Bethesda was for gamers to be able to create ships with their particular style, just like the playable character. However, this soon mixed with the desire to create and replicate, causing a kind of crossover by imitating the designs of other video game franchises.
In the world of video games, classic franchises like Halo and Mass Effect were remembered by gamers in these moments of creativity and were a model some chose to follow.
One of the most replicated ships in Starfield was the Pelican from Halo, also known as the Dropship 77-Troop Carrier. It is a versatile ship used in medium-sized operations with multiple personnel, vehicles, and equipment, and can be used as a powerful support fighter.
Another ship honored was the Forward Unto Dawn, also from Halo, a Charon-class light frigate, affectionately nicknamed “The Dawn” by its crew. It participated in the final battles of the Human-Covenant War.
On the Mass Effect side, the most recreated ship was the iconic Normandy, formally SSV Normandy SR-1 (Systems Alliance Space Vehicle Normandy Stealth Reconnaissance-1). It is a Systems Alliance starship and a prototype “deep scout” frigate, the first of the eponymous Normandy class.
The ship was co-developed by the Alliance and the Turian Hierarchy with sponsorship from the Citadel Council. It was optimized for solo reconnaissance missions in unstable regions using state-of-the-art stealth technology powered by an experimental propulsion core.

Starfield has also seen ship creations inspired by films, series, and other pop culture media. Some highlights found in the community were, for example, the Battlestar Galactica, Firefly’s Serenity, Star Trek’s USS Enterprise, and many Star Wars vessels like the Razor Crest and the Millennium Falcon.
So, if you already play, or intend to dive into the Starfield galaxy, know that ship customization is one of the most versatile mechanics in the game. It can yield hours of creativity and fun if you are a customization enthusiast like many gamers.
