Ship of the Week - Earth Landship Alsaides

Itā€™s been nearly four months after Starfield was launched, yet thereā€™s still no shortage of creative ideas for outposts, ships, and other fan creations in and outside the game.

This weekā€™s Ship of the Week pick was built with a rationale that might have been in many playersā€™ minds but has not been acted upon.

Weā€™re talking about a landship thatā€™s totally based on Earth. This Facebook user, Alessandro Capretti, created a headcanon in which he refused to leave our home planet even after the tragic accident that destroyed the atmosphere.

In this case, heā€™d need a vessel that would protect him from the incoming radiation from the Sun while he plundered Earth of all resources that he could find. It sounds kind of like Fallout.

In any case, the massive landship Alsaides answers his needs.

Massive IS an understatement. As you can see from the picture, the Alsaides is a city on its own. The vessel has huge skids that support it while skimming low over the barren desert of humanityā€™s former home planet.

It also seems highly defendable, with the cockpit placed in a less vulnerable location and protected by the shipā€™s powerful armament. Pirates donā€™t try to board a ship on land, anyway, and theyā€™ll be hard-pressed to try because the shipā€™s landing bay is so far back.

This is, so far, the most creative approach weā€™ve seen in building a ship - with a definite purpose and a headcanon guiding its construction. Thus, weā€™ve made the Alsaides our feature for this week.
