Though there are many ways to obtain a ship in Starfield, knowing how to exploit an opportunity can give players a powerful vessel early on.
Starships in Starfield are some of the most expensive items in the game, though a streamer managed to figure out a way to commandeer a powerful vessel worth over 150,000 credits using a surprisingly simple method. While building a ship from scratch in Starfield can be a rewarding experience, there’s nothing wrong with taking a shortcut from time to time, especially if the parts obtained from said shortcut go into the construction of the player’s next starship. Unlike past Bethesda titles, upgrading one’s ship in Starfield takes equal importance as upgrading one’s weapons and armor.
Though Starfield players can earn their ship fair and square, they can also seize enemy vessels and register them in their name, effectively letting them turn a quick profit. The random events that can occur when grav jumping into a new system remain a highlight of Starfield’s space exploration, from a mysterious vessel hailing them about their ship’s expiring warranty to being on the receiving end of a full-blown pirate ambush.
