This No Man’s Sky LEGO Build Could Become an Official Set

Every No Man’s Sky player who has started up at least one new save in the past several years will be familiar with the Radiant Pillar BC1 starship, and a talented fan has brought the iconic spacecraft to life in LEGO form with an amazing project that is now discoverable on the LEGO IDEAS website. This isn’t the first time some creative minds from the No Man’s Sky community have developed a LEGO model inspired by the game, nor is it the first iteration of the Radiant Pillar, with this set being an updated version of the creator’s original starter ship design.

While there’s nothing stopping No Man’s Sky players from spending countless hours in the game without leaving their starting planet, the daunting scale of the procedurally generated space exploration game tempts every fan to take to the stars sooner or later. Thankfully, players can get their hands on their first starship in No Man’s Sky just minutes after beginning a new save, with the beloved Radiant Pillar BC1 fighter starship serving as new players’ lifeline to the stars since one of the game’s earliest updates. While little more than a humble C-Class ship at first, all of the craft’s stats and systems can be dramatically upgraded over time by players who have a soft spot for its simple yet iconic visual design.

Though almost every ship in No Man’s Sky is procedurally generated, this starter ship will always have the same fixed design, color scheme, and name for everyone. The Radiant Pillar has appeared in countless community projects and artwork pieces as a result, and while it has seen multiple LEGO incarnations over the years, a creator known as BrickDesigNL has recently shared their updated model of the ship as a project on LEGO IDEAS. The build has already accrued tons of attention among the game’s community across social media, and could even become an official LEGO set should the project receive enough support on the LEGO IDEAS website.

The No Man’s Sky community has always been a particularly creative one, with fans frequently motivated to create incredible works of art both in and out of the game’s world. With base building consistently proving to be one of the most popular aspects of the game since the feature was introduced in one of No Man’s Sky‘s very first updates, it’s not surprising that the team behind the game at Hello Games has constantly been building upon the in-game construction mechanics across the game’s countless free updates over the years.

While much of No Man’s Sky relies on procedurally generated landscapes, ships, and locations, many fans have proven time and again that LEGO sets based on the game itself are entirely possible, and often very well-received. With No Man’s Sky continuing to grow with regular free updates from the small team of developers behind it, it’s quite likely that fans will be inspired to work on similar creative projects in the future.
