Unreal Engine versions

Starship supports Unreal Engine 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8.

It uses the engine’s built-in variable gravity.

Required engine plugins

Both are bundled with Unreal Engine 5:

• Enhanced Input (the ship’s controls, and the interact binding that is injected onto on-foot characters)
• Niagara (the engine exhaust FX)

Starship has no third-party dependencies.

Platforms

• Development platform: Windows (Win64)
• Target build platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux
• Code module: Starship (Runtime)
• Network replicated: yes, for listen and dedicated servers. Flight is client-authoritative; possession and passengers are server-authoritative. Single-player works unchanged.

Ship mesh

You don’t need to bring your own ship. A complete lander mesh with materials and textures is included and already assigned on BP_Starship, which is ready to fly. The flight system is mesh-agnostic, so you can build your own hull instead; see Use your own hull.

Gravity

No gravity plugin is required. Starship reads the engine’s world gravity by default and has no compile-time dependency on any gravity plugin. An optional reflection bridge picks up directional gravity from an external provider; see the FAQ.
