Space is a hostile frontier in Starfield, full of pirates looking to plunder your cargo hold or local cops having an issue with your decision to take up a life of intergalactic highway robbery. Sooner or later, you’ll end up on the receiving end of a barrage of lasers, but as some Starfield players have discovered, building ugly-as-hell spaceships makes you virtually immune to damage.
The first option, from redditor Morfalath (via Eurogamer) is a spaceship that looks like a Borg cube skeleton. Because the AI always aims for the middle of your spaceship, the solution here is to not have a middle to begin with. Instead, Morfalath created a gigantic structure of modules that’s all corners, making dogfights in space a breeze to survive.
If you’re not a fan of this square tactic, the second option is to construct a ship that looks like a giant L, as Solace_of_the_Thorns has done (via IGN). The trick here is that by creating the furthest possible point on the X, Y, and Z axis intersect, a new midpoint has been created that enemy AI will automatically target, firing off into empty space.
