澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield fans now consider hollow cube ships an approved ship-building technique after developers at Bethesda 🐓were spotted using the little-known yet highly effective technique.

Shortly after Starfield's launch, footage emerged of a player-created spacecraft dubbed the 'unbeatable ship'. The edges are structured like a giant cube, while the middle of the ves🧔sel is completely empty. Frankly, it looks more like the beginnings of a ship than the final result, and it's certainly not going to win any awards for its looks, but when it comes to performance, it's second to none.

You see, the enemy AI typically aims at the center of a ship, but as this is hollow, they can't 𒁃target it effectively, so their shots end up missin♔g most of the time. It's both a simple and brilliant technique that makes battles in space a breeze.

Up until this point, some may have con🔯sidered it a cheap way to achieve victory, but it's now deemed a viable technique after developers were spotted using the very same method in promotional footage for the game.

Over on the ▨, user DoragonHunter posted an image taken from the Starfield 🥂Direct showcase. Take a look at the screen, and you'll see the folks at Bethesda have built their very own hollow cube ship.

In the comments, fans are delighted that the method has been officially validated. "So this is canon and we should strive to make the best-looking ships that exploit this glitch," one wrote. Another repl💧ied, "A good caꦰnon explanation could be that ship targeting computers default to the center of mass, so some mad lads fly a donut ship." Spurred into action by this revelation, a third said, "I'm making a halo now."

The shipbuilder isn't just useful for building game-breaking vessels. In the months since Starfield's launch, we've seen players use it to make a Star Wars Imperial Destroyer so epic t𝓰hat it lags the game and needs a 21-page how-to guide and to re𝔍create Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater's iconic long ladder scene.
