Summary
A passionateStarfieldfan completed an impressive feat of handiwork by recreating the Constellation spacesuit in real life.Constellation inStarfieldserves as the game’s primary faction, much like the Blades inOblivion, and it arguably exemplifies the art direction ofStarfieldthe most. By leaning into the NASA aesthetic, Bethesda attempted to create a take on sci-fi that differed fromMass EffectorStar Wars, which certainly fits the narrative ofStarfieldbeing about humanity’s “early period” of space exploration.
WhereasFallouthad the power armor,Starfieldhas its spacesuits, and players can come across many different styles during their interstellar adventure in the Settled Systems. While most fans would argue that the Mantis armor is a bit ridiculous from a visual perspective, the Starborn sets have become insanely popular inStarfield’s community, and the Constellation spacesuits have established themselves as the iconic outfit for the game, similar to how the Dragonborn is often depicted wearing Studded Armor and a Steel Helmet.
This fact, coupled with the NASA aesthetic, may have played a key role in why CyperianWorkshop decided to build a Constellation spacesuit in the first place, as they shared the completed outfit on the mainStarfieldsubreddit. The artistry of the armor is further enhanced by the “wear and tear” added across the spacesuit, and by padding it with felt, CyperianWorkshop managed to replicate the bulky feel of an outfit made for extremely hazardous conditions.
WhileStarfieldis CyperianWorkshop’s latest project, they have also made armor fromAssassin’s Creed Origins,The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and even the Dragonborn’s outfit fromSkyrim. ThoughStarfieldmods have already brought Stormtroopers and Mandalorians to the Settled Systems, theupcoming Shattered Space DLC forStarfieldis going to give Bethesda another shot at creating some memorable armor sets for the game.
Since Constellation space suits tackled the familiar NASA aesthetic, if the speculation about Shattered Space being focused on House Va’ruun turns out to be true,Starfieldplayers could end up getting something a bit more futuristic and alien compared to the game’s usual outfits. While Va’ruun zealots are a regular occurrence when exploring systems such as Serpentis, the presence ofHouse Va’ruun as a faction inStarfieldhas been quite minimal thus far. Though it remains to be seen how Bethesda will expandStarfield’s setting, the interest of passionate fans such as CyperianWorkshop proves that the potential is certainly there.
