Summary
The sky seems to be the limit for what people can build inStarfield, and one clever player has recreated the famous Normandy spacecraft fromMass Effect. One of the strongest selling points forBethesda’s latest open-world RPGis the sheer flexibility it offers players in its character creation and spaceship customization suites, which have been used to remake famous people and vessels from games, movies, and television shows.
Naturally, many of these creativeStarfieldtributes have been pulled from famous science fiction properties likeAlienandStar Wars. When it comes to video game-based vehicles,Starfieldplayers have been spotted cruising the stars in Fox McCloud’s famous Arwing from theStar Foxseries and the belovedEbon Hawk fromKnights of the Old Republic.Of course,KOTORisn’t BioWare’s only title to take RPG fans into the vast reaches of space, and nowStarfieldfans are recreating the defining spaceship from one of the developer’s most iconic franchises.

Recently, a Reddit user by the name of SexyGandalph posted screenshots of their stunningly accurate rendition of the Normandy fromMass Effecton theStarfieldsubreddit. More specifically, this custom ship resembles theNormandy SR-2 fromMass Effect 2due to its orange highlights and afterburner flames. Nonetheless, other users have complimented SexyGandalph for their work in capturing the Normandy’s signature trident-like design.
To many fans, the Normandy is almost as synonymous withMass Effectas Commander Shepard, as the trusty spaceship carried them and their rag-tag crew of allies across the Milky Way galaxy in BioWare’s original trilogy. Originally given to Shepard during their mission to track down the rogue Spectre Saren, theNormandy is deemed the crown jewelof the Alliance Navy due to its cutting-edge stealth technology. It was destroyed at the beginning ofMass Effect 2, but a second Normandy was built by the terrorist organization Cerberus. This Normandy was later commandeered and refitted by the Alliance for the final battle against the Reapers inMass Effect 3.
It isn’t clear if theNormandy will appear again inMass Effect 4, but fans still have fond memories of the trusty spaceship that journeyed to Ilos, braved the Omega-4 Relay, and clashed with the Reapers above the battlefields of Earth - so much so that many have made 3D models and custom-painted automobiles in its honor. Thanks toStarfield’s in-depth shipbuilding mechanics, players can now tour the universe behind the bridge ofMass Effect’s legendary Normandy vessel - and hopefully, they don’t run into any Husks or Collectors while exploring the game’s many procedurally-generated worlds.
Starfieldis available on PC and Xbox Series X.
