Epic Spaceships You Can Find On XBOX
Whether it is sleek single-person skiffs or hulking behemoth starships, here are the best spaceships you can find on XBOX.
The Unreliable – The Outer Worlds
If you have ever watched the TV series Firefly, then it is likely you have dreamt of being part of a crew of renegades, exploring the galaxy in a rough-and-tumble spaceship and heading out on wild adventures. Well, The Outer Worldshas got your back. The Unreliable, much like the Normandy from the Mass Effect series, will populate with crew members as you progress through the story. As well as the friends you pick up along the way, the ships AI, called ADA, is another one of your companions. A mix of HAL 9000 and GLaDOS, there is no end to ADA’s witty banter. As great as this ship looks, it would be better if you could actually fly the thing. Navigation is done using just the system map.
UNSC Infinity – Halo 5: Guardians
Coming in at 5.7km in length, the Infinity is the biggest and baddest ship in the UNSC navy. Not only is it the most powerful it is the most advanced, too, thanks to it being built with both Forerunner and Covenant technology. Oh, and you know those huge maps you play during multiplayer? Yeah, they are generated on the ship. The Infinity is so big it has got a separate section to house the VR simulations that produce the War Games. The Infinity was initially designed as a colony ship in case Earth was destroyed, and its first mission was to locate the remaining Haloinstallations and oversee their decommission. It wasn’t long before it was dragged into the fight on the Forerunnerworld of Requiem, though.
Python – Elite Dangerous
When it comes to space travel, it is not always the bouncing from star to star that is the most enjoyable aspect. Sometimes you just want to find your own little bit of universe to kick back in, and it is even better when you are doing it in style. Everyone has their favourite Elite ship. Some want to focus on firepower, speed or simply the ability to carry extreme amounts of cargo, but our favourite has to be the Python. Not only does it look fantastic, it is a great all-rounder that gives you the flexibility to handle most situations. Another good choice is the expensive Anaconda, but even with its improved firepower and shielding, it is no match for the Python, which will run rings around it all day long.
Millennium Falcon – Star Wars Battlefront II
Who hasn’t fantasised about flying around in the Millennium Falcon? Ever since that hunk of junk graced the silver screen, we have always wondered what it would be like to get behind the controls. While other games let you pilot the most recognisable ship from a galaxy far, far away, only EA DICE and Criterion have made it feel like you are punching it in the real thing. It still looks and feels suitably chunky, but it has a surprising amount of manoeuvrability. It is hard to beat the feeling of rolling around above the battlefield, shooting TIE Fighters out of the sky and following up with a shower of blaster fire on an unsuspecting AT-AT walker on the ground.
Pillar Of Autumn – Halo: Combat Evolved
The Pillar Of Autumn just has to be on this list! If it weren’t for the stout and modest ship Master Chief would never have gone on to save the galaxy. When the Autumn escaped the grasp of the Covenant when fleeing the planet Reach, it made a blind jump and stumbled upon the first Halo installation, setting off a chain of events that would entertain us for almost 20 years. The Autumn crashed on the Halo, but that wasn’t the end of its story. Using the ship’s self-destruct, Master Chief destroyed the Halo installation and saved all life in the galaxy.
USCSS Nostromo – Alien: Isolation
We all the know the first Alien film is the best and scariest of the lot, and thanks to two DLC packs for Alien: Isolation, you have the chance to poke around the claustrophobic corridors of the doomed Nostromo starfreighter. Although they follow the events of the film quite closely, the Crew Expendable and Last Survivor add-ons are alternative interpretations. That doesn’t take away any of the appeal, though, as every minute detail has been impressively re-created here. It is still the closest thing you will get to experiencing the Nostromo first-hand. Most of the original actors also return – including Sigourney Weaver – for some additional voiceover work, giving the experience that extra level of authenticity.
