📋 About This Mod
✧˖°・ Overview & Features ・°˖✧
This mod adds 46 new unique ships to the ship spawns, with each coming in three variants and for different factions, totalling in over 428 new ships added to the spawns!
Ships come in different version, just like vanilla ships, and are fully integrated into the ship's leveled lists - via script injection, to allow conflict free adding.
I took the time to ask around various communities for their ship submissions and carefully recreated them all in Creation Kit.
I am open for suggestions and feedback! If you encounter any issues, please create a bug report on this page.
Current unique ship count: 46
Current all ships added: 428
Ships designed by me: 15
Ships designed by the community: 31
All ships work just like vanilla ones, they have an interior, can be boarded and captured. The only exception are the M-Class haulers, these cannot be boarded.
The aim is to expand the collection of ships over times with even more design from you all, the great community of Starfield!
If you're interested in submitting your design, head over to the comment section and read the pinned comment at the top.
Bug fixes are prioritized over adding new ships.
✧˖°・ Installation ・°˖✧
I recommend using a Mod Manager like MO2 or Vortex.
If you install manually:
-
[]Download and unpack the file[/]
[]Place DWN_CommunitySpaceshipExpansion - Main.ba2 and DWN_CommunitySpaceshipExpansion.esm into your Starfield/Data folder[/]
[]Start the game, head to the Creations menu and activate the mod under Load Order[/]
✧˖°・ Ship Vendor Framework ・°˖✧
The main file simply adds all the new ships to the game spawn pool, but not to any vendors. If you want to have them added to the vendors, download the optional file Community Spaceship Expansion - Buyable Ships
Make sure you have Ship Vendor Framework installed too and that SVF loads before both these files.
A-Class ships are available at level 1, B-Class at level 21 and C-Class at level 41.
A selection of ships have been added to the following vendors:
-
[]New Atlantis Ship Services - Selection of Deimos and Nova ships[/]
[]New Homestead Ship Services - Selection of Nova ships[/]
[]Deimos Staryard - Selection of Deimos ships[/]
[]Akila City Ship Services - Selection of HopeTech and Stroud-Eklund ships[/]
[]Neon City Ship Services - Selection of all manufacturers[/]
[]HopeTown Ship Services - Selection of HopeTech ships[/]
[]The Key - Crimson Fleet ships[/]

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive content boost: 428 new ships means you'll see fresh designs constantly.
- Community-approved with 522 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads.
- Actively maintained—last updated July 2026, so it's likely compatible with recent patches.
⚠️ Cons
- No compatibility notes for other ship mods; conflicts possible if you use similar overhauls.
- Only affects spawns, so you won't get these ships as purchasable or buildable—just encounters.
For Starfield explorers who want more variety in the skies and are tired of seeing the same ships everywhere. Perfect if you're using a mod manager and don't mind troubleshooting if something clashes. Skip if you're looking for buildable or buyable ships—this is purely about spawns.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—manual placement is riskier.
- If you use other ship mods, check load order to avoid conflicts; put this one lower.
- Start a new game or wait for a respawn to see the new ships—existing spawns may not refresh.
