Q: Can I build and own a capital ship in Starfield?

A: No, as of the game's launch, Starfield does not allow players to own capital ships. The game has a limitation, where ships over 80 meters in length cannot land on planets. This means the largest ship you can construct and control is up to 80 meters, roughly the size of a corvette.

Q: Are capital ships present in the Starfield universe, even if not player-owned?

A: Yes, while players can't own capital ships, you will encounter these massive vessels as you journey through the galaxy. They are indicative of a universe filled with powerful forces and extensive interstellar politics.

Q: Is there a possibility of owning capital ships in future Starfield updates or mods?

A: There's potential for owning larger ships in the future, either through DLCs or mods. Though the base game restricts you to 80 meters, future DLC might introduce player-owned capital ships. Additionally, mods breaking this size constraint could be among the first modifications available post-launch.
