Suggest a Starfield Replacement game that has a Custom Ship-builder

[chefcook90]

The one thing I can't neg Starfield on is its custom ship builder - I definitely loved that aspect of the game.

The only other ship-builder game that I've played where construction wasn't purely cosmetic is Avorion.

Avorion's ship building almost gives you TOO MUCH freedom, as the only real constraints are the cost of the materials and the physical properties of your ship (basic stuff like having enough power supply, more mass requiring more thrust to accelerate, placing maneuvering thrusters as far from the ship's center of gravity as possible to maximize maneuverability, etc) - otherwise you could do stuff like literally strapping an engine onto an asteroid and mounting guns on it.

But I also dig Starfield's modular approach to ship building, especially when combined with the fact that you get to explore the INTERIOR of your ships after your done building. I'd love to play more games like that.

Anyone know of any other ship building games that do that?

Empyrion, definitely. Especially if you like building ships or outposts.

Space engineers is easily the best space building game(incredibly moddable, you can even spawn in your own solar system if you wish pretty good collection of mods, scripts and other things on the workshop) , followed by Empyrion.

Empyrion is great in this. Plus you can download ship blue prints/plans, make your own, save them, etc. This is something i wish SF had. It would make ship building much better.

Side note: I found it hugely helpful to download blueprints from guys who really knew what they were doing and then pick the ships apart... you can learn a lot from breaking down a well-made ship.

Nothing comes close to Starfield. Sadly it doesn't have much purpose in this game.

Idk when I played NMS i wish it had a plot, but after playing starfield I realised NMS was better ;p At least it had proper space travel.

Avorion? I think that's literally all ship building in space.

lol yeah, it's primarily a ship-building game.

In Starfield you play as a captain piloting a ship.

In Avorion you play as a ship who carries around an expendable crew :P

Still there's lots of stuff to do in Avorion, like mining, trading, building factories and space stations, STEALING factories and space stations by boarding them, doing quests for the various space-nations, etc, etc.

Star Citizen mayhap ?

Even though its an dated game, the game demands an very VERY HIGH END PC from what ive seen !
