Starfield’s Long Ladder: A Nod to Snake Eater’s Iconic Design

In the expansive universe of Starfield, one player has taken ship customization to extraordinary heights – quite literally. This intrepid Starfield gamer has crafted a towering spaceship so massive that it requires an astonishingly long ladder to traverse its many floors, drawing uncanny comparisons to the iconic ladder-climbing sequence from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

The player’s towering spaceship is a testament to Starfield’s commitment to allowing players to turn their interstellar vessels into whatever fantastical creations they can dream of. Whether it’s emulating Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter from the Star Wars prequels or channeling Tim Burton’s Batplane from the 1989 Batman film, Starfield empowers players to shape their spaceships according to their imagination.

The video showcasing this remarkable creation hails from a Reddit user known as Hostgr. The video commences with the player already several floors above ground, and it continues for a substantial 30 seconds of ladder-climbing action before reaching the pinnacle. As an added touch of humor, the player incorporates the James Bond-inspired Snake Eater theme, paying homage to Big Boss’s legendary ladder climb from the iconic PS2 classic.

This gigantic spaceship seemingly encompasses eight to nine stories, and the journey from the bottom to the top takes nearly a full minute. It’s a ship that promises an abundance of cargo space.

While the video offers a glimpse of the ship’s interior, the exterior design, influenced by the Naglfar, a dreadnaught-class ship from the science fiction game Eve Online, is still a work in progress. Naglfar ships are colossal, featuring a vertical design that resembles floating skyscrapers slicing through space, departing from the conventional horizontal spaceship structure seen in many science fiction works.

While some Starfield players draw inspiration from mainstream science fiction franchises like Star Wars, others, like Hostgr, take a more unconventional path, finding inspiration in niche science fiction universes to create unique and imaginative vessels that exemplify the boundless creative freedom offered by Starfield.
