7 Best Ships To Unlock In Starfield – Screen Rant

Ships are at the core of Starfield's space exploration, with the best ones you can unlock taking your character from planet to planet while defending against interstellar dangers. Your vessel is responsible for carrying your gear and can even host crew members you recruit along your journey. Taking into account shields, weapon systems, and jump ranges, ships are diverse vehicles that can be tricky to choose from.

Characters can only take control of ships if they have a high enough Piloting Level, so make sure to gain XP in this area beforehand. While there are some ships that you earn for free by completing specific missions, most of the vehicles seen in the game are bought for a large amount of credits. Building an Outpost and harvesting resources for easy money in Starfield is a great way to earn funds for a new ship.

The Rambler II may not have much offensive or defensive prowess, but it remains one of the fastest ships money can buy. Sporting a jump range of 30 Light Years, this vessel is quick and light for zipping around enemies above planets. A decent cargo capacity and average crew size combine with a fairly cheap price to make the Ramber II an excellent choice for those looking for something more than The Frontier in Starfield.

Explorers looking for a larger ship might connect with the Dragonfire, a vehicle designed to host 7 total crew members during travel. With above average Shields and jump range, the Dragonfire also has an incredibly large cargo capacity at 2790, making it a vessel that can carry a ton of items in Starfield. However, there are no shields for the cargo, making it nearly impossible to carry contraband through specific zones.

Another reason to get the Dragonfire is due to the large value of Fuel the ship can hold, reaching up to 1550. This will help you from having to refill the vehicle constantly during your travels like many other starcraft.

A sleek medium-sized ship, the Narwhal can also hold up to 7 crew members and protect them even better than the Dragonfire with an astounding Hull strength. A powerful Reactor and large Shield size combines with a 30 LY jump range to create a formidable home for any space adventurer in Starfield. Despite the high price of the Narwhal, it can be more than worth it with strong offensive weapons ready to vaporize anyone who dares to attack.

Make sure to sell every item you aren't using to one of the many vendors in Starfield so that you have enough credits to buy starships that cost the most in the game like the Narwhal.

The Star Eagle is a ship you can obtain for free, sporting balanced stats across every category in Starfield. From one of the largest cargo capcities you'll see on any vessel to decent Shields, crew size, and jump range, the Star Eagle comes with an outfit that can be useful outside space travel. The XP you are able to gain while doing the quests for this ship can also help level up your character enough to actually fly the starcraft.

The legendary ship known and feared by the galaxy's Spacer criminals is called the Razorleaf, another of the few ships you can actually earn for free in Starfield. Boasting a cargo capacity with shields to prevent your contraband from being spotted, this vessel once belonged to the mysterious hero known as the Mantis. With the Razorleaf, you assume the title of this warrior of justice, taking a ship with an amazing balance of different stats.

The reason why the Razorleaf can be such a great ship is its hidden ability tied to Spacer enemies, the bandits that constantly attack you while traveling in Starfield. The mere sight of the newly crowned Mantis and their ship strikes fear into the hearts of all evildoers, making Spacers flee from fights. Being able to earn a ship that gets you out of battles for free can be too good of a deal to pass up.

Nothing speaks louder in the vacuum of space than offensive might, with the Abyss Trekker being the ship with the most firepower to speak of in Starfield. Absolutely ridiculous weapons with larger-than-life stats will make sure that no enemy will stand a chance against you in combat. Despite the low cargo capacity, this ship is surprisingly fast with a 25 LY jump range that can hold a 6 member Crew.

Weapons on ships in Starfield are divided into different categories based on the type of vessel your character pilots. The Abyss Trekker's stats for its firepower are categorized into PAR/MSL/BAL, whose scores are 38/96/192.

The Stronghold is likely the best ship in Starfield for the sheer value behind its defensive abilities, starting with an impressive 1600 Shield stat. The 6 Crew size, 2360 Cargo Capacity, and 30 LY jump range are all among the greatest of any starship in the galaxy. Enemies will not only have a hard time keeping up with this ship, but they will struggle to even make a dent into its 1047 Hull if they make it past the Shields.

The weapons on the Stronghold may not be as extensive as the Abyss Trekker, but it may be better to have more chances to fight back instead of just the most potent weapons. The best ships to unlock in Starfield excel in every quality, a fact that the Stronghold can prove over and over again.
