No Man’s Sky Player Recreates Star Wars’ Millennium Falcon

Alright, folks, strap in. So there’s this player out there, in the vast digital universe of No Man’s Sky—yeah, that game with all the planets no one’s got time to actually visit. Anyway, this person somehow decided, “Hey, life’s short. Let’s build the Millennium Falcon.” Because, you know, why not?

This isn’t just any space adventure either. This person’s got some skills—crazy skills. They slapped this legendary ship together, not as a ship but a base. And get this, all in vanilla mode! Yep, no mods, no cheats, just pure DIY dedication. It’s like trying to bake a cake without a recipe while your kitchen’s on fire. Impressive, right? Or maybe a little bonkers.

Now, base building in No Man’s Sky isn’t new. It’s been a thing since the Foundation Update back in late 2016, which by the way, feels like forever ago. Players have been going wild, crafting all sorts of elaborate gatherings of pixels. But this Millennium Falcon? It’s something else. It’s instantly Han and Chewbacca’s space ride from the classic Star Wars movies. If you don’t know that ship, just go watch the movies. Seriously.

Some Redditor with the colorful name Simp-Ify—because why not?—decided to give it a whirl. Their effort is painfully authentic, with that unmistakable saucer shape and all its quirky details. If you’ve ever glimpsed at the Falcon, you’d recognize it instantly. The cockpit? Offset in that awkwardly charming way. They’ve nailed those forward mandibles too. The whole shebang is so good, rumors are some players thought it was an actual ship.

But nope, it’s all base. And in the middle of that saucer, they cheekily added a landing pad. Maybe to park their Boundary Herald, which—fun fact—came along in the game’s Cursed update. Yep, that ship’s got a bit of the Falcon’s charm.

Diving deeper, Simp-Ify’s creation skyrocketed to the front page of the r/NoMansSkyTheGame subreddit. We’re talking over 3,500 upvotes. The fans cheered. High praise, considering all the other cool stuff floating around out there in digital space. They even posted some interior shots. Yeah, they went as hard on the inside as the outside. It’s all part of the fantasy, right?

So, here’s to those who see space as an open stage for the wildest ideas. And to anyone who thinks they can’t turn a video game into a canvas for incredible creativity—think again. Or, just go build something. It’ll catch someone’s eye, maybe even make ’em smile. So what’s next in this galactic sandbox? Who knows. Back to reality—or, wait, where was I going with this?
