Ship parts are a particularly useful item to own in plentiful supply, as they are used to repair your spaceship’s hull damage – essential stuff if you’re taking part in dogfights and take a lot of hits.

Listen to our new Gaming podcast, One More Life

One ship part repairs four per cent of your ship’s hull(s) for 10 seconds, as the game puts it, so you will want to track them down as often as possible and stockpile them within your ship’s cargo hold.

These items do have a mass of 10.00 each, so you won’t be able to carry too many of them while out and about. Read on to find out how to get more Starfield ship parts. Discover where to buy and find them below.

Aside from buying ship parts from vendors, you can also find and loot ship parts while exploring. Who knows? You might randomly happen across some ship parts in lootable storage containers.

You can find ship parts in storage containers while out and about, so it’s always worth checking in on every chest you come across – if you’ve not already been doing so.

You can loot ship parts from destroyed ships, too. Destroyed ships won’t always drop ship parts but you should take a look regardless. Crimson Fleet ships are quite likely to drop them.

When you save a friendly faction ship from a dogfight, you can request “some extra repair parts”. This is the most likely way you can get hold of more ship parts for free as most ships you save will agree to give you some.

That’s all there is to know about ship parts in Starfield. Now get out there and repair your ship (you can also pay to do this by talking to a Ship Services Technician at a docking bay in a city or in the Ship Services building).
