In Starfield, you can sell ships, but if you are wondering how to sell these ships, then you are at the right place. You can steal any ship that you encounter in the space. You can board that ship and kill all the crew members to get a hold of it.
But selling or modifying that ship involves a few extra steps. You have to take that ship to any of the spaceports and interact with the Ship Services to get it registered. Only then can you either modify it or sell it.
If you are unaware of this process, then we have got you covered. This guide has everything that you need to know about selling ships in Starfield. So, let’s get started.
Selling Ships in Starfield
Selling ships in Starfield isn’t that hard but still, it does involve a few extra steps. Once you have got a ship from your enemies, it’s time to register it at Ship Services. This will cost you credits. The registration fees for each ship are around 80% to 85% of the actual cost of that ship.
So, you will be only getting a few thousand credits in your balance when selling that ship. With that being said, head to the nearest spaceport and interact with a technician at Ship Services.
Here, choose “Let Me See What Ships You Have for Sell”. Once the screen opens, switch to your fleet of ships. Now, from your collection, choose the ship that you wanna sell. Next, press the Register button.
And there you have your stolen ship registered. Do remember that stolen ships are contraband and they are illegal items. So, you can’t use them without the registration. Once you have registered the ship, it can now be sold or modified as you want it to be.
Stealing Ships in Starfield
If you are looking to own some new ships without making a purchase at the trader then you can do so by putting in some extra efforts. To steal any ship from space, you will need to unlock the Targeting Control System skill.
You should have at least 1 level on this skill. Next, you are going to look for a ship. Start a space battle with that ship and target-lock it. Once that happens choose the Engine of that ship and destroy it. Now, once the engine is destroyed stop shooting, or else the ship will be completely destroyed.
As soon as the engines are disabled, you will get the dock option. Now, dock that ship and board onto that. Be prepared for a fight when entering that ship. Kill all the members on that ship.
Once the ship’s crew members are killed, you can take over it. The ship is now yours. Check out the cockpit for any valuable loot.
Upgrading Ships in Starfield
Ships can be upgraded in Starfield to boost their overall performance and also add some extra features to them. The ships are upgraded at a landing port. This port has a Ship Technician who can offer you upgrades of your ship.
Find an NPC technician and select “I’d Like to View and Modify My Ships”. The next screen you will see will have your ship collection. You can choose any ship of yours that needs to be upgraded.
Now, you can upgrade any part of the ship by selecting each part and pressing the upgrade button. Also, you can add various items to your ship such as Scan Jammer and others. Each additional item that you add to your ship will have a different functionality.
So, upgrading your ship can be very beneficial for you. Especially, when you are up for space battles. Upgrading actually allows you to add weapons to your ship, boost the speed of your ship by adding engines, and by cutting mass, get better control and others.
