Knights of the Old Republictakes us back thousands of years before theStar Warsmovies, but there are a lot of similarities. You find a smuggler with a Wookie friend and the two are in trouble with a local gang, so you recruit their help to get off planet and steal a ship. That ship also happens to look suspiciously like the Millennium Falcon. Among KOTOR fans, it’s just as iconic, so it’s no wonder that they’ve brought it to life withStarfield’sextensive shipbuilder.
Called the Ebon Hawk, it’s a freighter ship with an in-built hyperdrive and some fairly weak turrets. It was originally manufactured on Transel but eventuallyfound its way to Taris. It hasn’t been seen outside of the Old Republic era, only appearing in KOTOR and its sequel, as well as the MMO spin-off, but now you can find it charting our own galaxy. Not so far, far away anymore.
“My version of the Ebon Hawk from KOTOR”, AristarchusTheMad said, attaching several side-by-side photos of the ship. Fans were quick to ask for a build guide, eager to get their own version of the iconic smuggler vessel in their games, so AristarchusTheMad put together an Imgur gallery of pictures showing the various layers of the ship. They also told a commenter how to get the colours, which are incredibly accurate to the real thing, “For the orange colour: hue is five from the left, saturation is ten from the right, and the brightness is around four left of centre. The rest are various shades of grey.”
Of course, it’s not the only ship from a Star Wars game that Starfield fans have recreated in the past week.
SundaeSplit also took to the subreddit to share their take on the Stinger Mantis from the Jedi games, even posting pictures of it flying sideways in space.
But for every cool recreation, you have the bizarre, likea big cube(which I’m sure is a Star Trek reference going over my head) and even justa ship made entirely out of ladders. It has no storage space, barely any power, and is horrible to handle.
It’s not just the outside that’s clunky and impractical either. Since the entire ship is made out of ladders, getting to the cockpit is a headache. Spareparts2104 timed how long it took to get from the loading bay to the helm - two minutes and 30 seconds. I’ll stick with the Ebon Hawk, thanks.
