Freestar Constellation Fleet Showcase 🚀- Re-uploaded completed Version
(Probably an unreasonable amount of shipbuilding and image editing, but we ignore that part.)
Reposting due to messing up the original posts images, + this being the completed FCS Fleet. (thanks to those who recommended I do so! <3)
After spending about a week almost exclusively inside the ship builder, I finally finished what’s probably the most complete version of my Freestar Constellation fleet so far.
The fleet consists of a mix of large-scale capital ships and smaller battlecruisers designed to feel believable within Starfield’s universe rather than just oversized flying gun platforms.
Two of these ships were originally designed by Lindan Engineering Corporation (u/NxTbrolin on Reddit), whose builds genuinely inspired me to start experimenting with larger-scale warship construction myself. Huge thanks to Lindan for creating ship designs for those of us not creative enough (like myself) to come up with builds on this scale from scratch.
The Dreadmere was rebuilt internally with a heavily redesigned habitation and operational structure to better fit the style I wanted, while the Wraithfall remains almost entirely faithful to the original design because honestly… there wasn’t much to improve in the first place.
The Ironveil, Gravewind, Deathwind, and Duskreign were later added to expand the fleet into more specialised combat and deployment roles.
FCS Dreadmere
Capital Class M Battleship
Originally based on Lindan Engineering Corporation’s Halcyon Star, but heavily reworked internally into a fully operational long-range command vessel.

The Gravewind was built to operate alongside larger fleet vessels, using its flak systems and defensive coverage to protect capital ships from smaller hostile craft during sustained engagements.
FCS Deathwind
Heavy Class C Battlecruiser
A sister ship to the Gravewind, the Deathwind was built around heavier offensive capability while still retaining the same compact fleet-support profile. Designed for aggressive close-range engagements and defensive screening operations, it trades some habitation space for significantly increased firepower.
Specifications
- Size: 31m Wide × 43m Long
- Decks: 3 Functional Decks

Systems
- Sextant Assurance SG-1800 Shield Generator
- Matilija Aerospace Nebula SF3 Class C Grav Drive
- Avontech Deep Core Class C Reactor
Internal Layout
While more combat-focused than the Gravewind, the Deathwind still maintains a balanced operational structure capable of supporting extended patrols and frontline escort operations.
Major Sections
- Troop Deployment Bays supporting rapid combat mobilisation
- Dedicated Armory maintaining weapons readiness
- Infirmary and emergency response section
- Workstation supporting onboard maintenance and fabrication
- Living Quarters for sustained crew deployment
- Hydroponics Section assisting long-duration operations
The Deathwind was designed as a more aggressive counterpart to the Gravewind — a compact but heavily armed assault vessel capable of punching far above what most Class C ships are expected to handle.
The main goal with this fleet was trying to make the ships feel believable within Starfield’s universe — not just oversized weapons platforms, but vessels that actually feel operational, lived in, and capable of supporting large crews during extended deployments.
Now all we need is proper ship hangars and deployable shuttlecraft. Being able to leave capital ships like the Dreadmere in orbit while deploying smaller landing vessels planetside would genuinely complete the fleet experience.
Here’s hoping Bethesda — or the modding community — eventually makes it happen.
