How to sell Starfield ships
You can sell ships at any ship services technician or your outpost shipbuilder kiosk.If you want to sell a ship that you stole or has contraband, there are a few extra steps in the sale process. As an aside, you must have more than one ship to sell ships, as you must always have a home ship.
If you have acquired a ship legally and simply want to sell it - and it’s free ofcontraband- you can go to any spaceport with a ship services technician.
There are ship services technicians at each of the following locations:
You can also build your outpost shipbuilder kiosk, allowing you to sell ships at your outpost. You must first set up an outpost and build a ship docking station to do this.
Before selling your ship, ensure you’ve cleared out its inventory, which typically means visiting a trader or merchant and choosing the Sell from Ship button option. Once you have cleared out your inventory, you’ll either talk to the vendor or visit the shipbuilder kiosk. Vendors will allow you to see what ships they have for sale, which you must visit before switching to the option to sell your ship. The kiosk will simply invite you to sell your ship.
Once you have selected the option to buy or sell a ship, the game will bring you to a series of pages showing your different ships. You’ll want to tab over to the correct ship and then find the option to sell at the screen’s lower right-hand corner. Once you complete this action, you can sell your ship, which you can select.
If you have stolen a ship and want to sell it, a few extra steps are involved. First and foremost, you’ll want to ensure your ship does not have contraband or, if it does, that it hasshielded cargocapacity to ensure you won’t get busted with the contraband. You can also travel to an outpost or other location where your ship will not be subject to a contraband scan as you move into orbit, such asRed Mile. (If you have theDream Home Trait, you can go to yourdream home on Nesoias you won’t be subject to a contraband search there.)
Once you’ve offloaded any unsavory goodies, you can go to any normal spaceport with a ship tech to sell your ship. In general, you will want to sell any unwanted inventory of any stolen ship for additional credits. Be sure to visit a trading kiosk or merchant to sell these items before you sell your ship.
After you have sold the ship’s inventory, you can visit the ship technician or kiosk. Because the ship is stolen, you must firstregisterit to sell it. This costs a fee equivalent to around 90% of the full price of the ship. As you are in the vendor ship buy/sell screen, tab over to the ship you want to sell, then select the option to register it. Once you pay the fee, you will then be able to sell it as normal.
