Today another mod of the popular StarUI series has been released for Starfield, and this one is all about the Ship Builder.
The mod allows PC players to build and customize their ships in a much more effective way, with an interface that arguably works a lot better than the original.
It was created by Nexus Mods user m8r98a4f2 and can be downloaded from the popular mod portal.
It's also fully customizable with the StarUI Configurator, which is another great mod that lets you handle the configuration of the whole StarUI series of mods.
The features you get are as follows. As you can see, there is a lot on the menu.

If you're not familiar with the StarUI series, it's a collection of mods by m8r98a4f2 that started with StarUI Inventory and then gradually expanded to the HUD, the Workbench, and the Outpost management.
As you may very well imagine, its goal is to massively improve the whole user interface on Starfield, especially optimizing and expanding the options for PC users.
Starfield is available for PC and Xbox Series X|S, on top of Game Pass, but it's worth mentioning that mods only work on the PC version until Bethesda adds official mod support early next year.
Incidentally, speaking of the PC version, a patch introducing DLSS and more will be released as a beta version next week on Steam.
If you prefer to play on console without mods (at least for now), you can grab a copy of Starfield for Xbox Series X|S on Amazon.
The game had passed 11 million players as of two weeks ago and it also was at the top Circana's (formerly NPD's) sales charts related to the the month of September.
