From class C to class A, check out every one of your ship options
What are all the Starfield ships? If you're playing Starfield and you want to know which of its ships will give you the most bang for your buck, we have you covered with our ship guide.
Starfield ships come in various sizes, and you can expect to pay more for ships with more utility. Ships also feature several customization options, so sometimes, you can upgrade a budget ship into something much more viable. Your ship is not only your means of traversal throughout the Settled Systems, but you'll also need them for space combat, resource hoarding, and dealing in contraband if that's the path you've chosen in this epic adventure.
Here's our master list of all the ships you can get in Starfield, which we'll continue to build on as we discover more. You can own up to ten ships in Starfield, so choose your favorites wisely. And, if you're just looking for a round-up of our favorite ships, you can check out our guide to Starfield's best ships for a summary of your best bets. We also have a guide to Starfield free ships if you're running short on credits.

- Fuel: 590
- Hull: 969
- Cargo: 340

- Shield: 850
With solid shield and hull stats, this class C is decent for transporting cargo, though it's a little on the pricier side. It also has a 27 reactor and a 30-lightyear jump, so it can be a solid choice of transport. You can buy it in Gagarin Landing or Red Mile.
Civshuttle III (384,725 credits)
- Fuel: 590
- Hull: 1222
- Cargo: 340

- Fuel: 200
- Hull: 669
- Cargo: 640

- Fuel: 160
- Hull: 589
- Cargo: 430
- Crew: 3
- Shield: 520

Crimson Fleet Phantom II (103,575 credits)
- Fuel: 50
- Hull: 515
- Cargo: 390
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 455
Though similar to the Crimson Feel Ghost III, this class A ship has less cargo capacity and less crew but also does laser and ballistic damage, unlike the Ghost. It also does missile damage but is weaker than the Ghost in this stat.
Crimson Fleet Specter II (187,175 credits)
- Fuel: 280
- Hull: 734
- Cargo: 520
- Crew: 5
- Shield: 610
The Specter, which you can buy at The Key in Kyrx, is a decent ship that can both take damage and deal it. It also has a 30-lightyear jump capacity, making it an excellent option for space exploration.
Crimson Fleet Wight (317,700)
- Fuel: 900
- Hull: 853
- Cargo: 870
- Crew: 6
- Shield: 680
With a 900 fuel capacity, there's a reason this class C ship is worth a chunk of change. Its decent laser and ballistic strength make it a solid combat option. You can get it from The Key on Kyrx.
Crimson Fleet Wraith (249,925)
- Fuel: 560
- Hull: 855
- Cargo: 1760
- Crew: 6

Crossbow (277,460)
- Fuel: 900
- Hull: 853
- Cargo: 1000
- Crew: 6
- Shield: 680
The Crossbow is a decent ship you can pick up at the Eleos Retreat. While you can find better ships for the price, it's a solid mix of cargo, fuel, and shield with reasonable ballistics and laser damage output.
Crossbow III (555,650)
- Fuel: 900
- Hull: 1516
- Cargo: 1000
- Crew: 7
- Shield: 1315
This class C combat spaceship outdoes its predecessors with a whopping 272 missile stat, not to mention its extremely high hull and shield stats. Get it from the ship services tech in Cydonia, where you can find it as an option on random days.
Dagger (8,600 credits)
- Fuel: 50
- Hull: 393
- Cargo: 240
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 544
You can get the Dagger from Vulture's Roost in Jaffa IV. Clear the area. The ship will land at the end, and you can take it. While it's not the best ship you can get, it's free, and it is an upgrade from the Frontier, if nothing else.
Discovery (52,050 credits)
- Fuel: 75
- Hull: 365
- Cargo: 450
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 325

Dragonfire (308,425 credits)
- Fuel: 1550
- Hull: 836
- Cargo: 2790
- Crew: 7
- Shield: 680
This class C ship is worth the investment to obtain it. Its extremely high fuel capacity, seven-person crew, and high cargo capacity make it an easy choice for a ship that looks cool and is extremely functional. Pick it up at the Eleos Retreat.
Dragonfire II (324,846 credits)
- Fuel: 1550
- Hull: 1006
- Cargo: 2790
- Crew: 7
- Shield: 850

- Fuel: 210
- Hull: 877
- Cargo: 300
- Crew: 6
- Shield: 805
This ship, which you can buy in Hopetown, has a 30-lightyear jump and reasonable stats overall, though the price may be a little high for what you get.
Ecliptic Claymore
- Fuel: 420
- Hull: 965
- Cargo: 3240
- Crew: 6
- Shield: 805
This ship has a solid cargo capacity and good offensive stats, including 149 missile damage. You can steal this ship in Denebola, though players also report coming across it in deep space and taking it via docking. If you take it from Denebola, head to the Abandoned Hangar and look for a Pipeline Terminus nearby to find the ship. You will need the Piloting Skill to launch it.
Ecliptic Stiletto II
- Fuel: 420
- Hull: 571
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 485
This is a relatively basic ship driven by Ecliptic mercenaries that hauls very little but can do a lot of damage. It's a great option for destroying enemy ships if you can get your hands on one.
Econohaul (94,975 credits)
- Fuel: 210
- Hull: 490
- Cargo: 2660
- Crew: 3
- Shield: 355
This is a relatively common ship you can buy in Paradiso, Neon, and Red Mile that does exactly what it says it will — it hauls cargo at economical prices. Don't expect too much in the way of shields or firepower here, but know it can help you get your goods from place A to place B.
Falcon (132,075 credits)
- Fuel: 280
- Hull: 627
- Cargo: 620
- Crew: 5
- Shield: 505
The Falcon is a small, agile class B ship for exploring and trading. You can get it in Neon, and while it won't break records, it can be a trade-up ship for you to get as you grow and explore everything Starfield has to offer.
Falcon II (185,675 credits)
- Fuel: 280
- Hull: 734
- Cargo: 620
- Crew: 5
- Shield: 610
An upgraded version of the Falcon that you can get from Taiyo Astroengineering in the Ryujin Building in Neon, this class B ship packs a bit more punch in terms of its speed, defences, and weaponry. However, it will cost you 50,000 credits more than its predecessor.
Falcon IV (360,025 credits)
- Fuel: 280
- Hull: 1249
- Cargo: 620
- Crew: 5
- Shield: 1125
This beastly version of the Falcon model has a 39 reactor, not to mention its elevated hull and shield stats. It's a class B ship, which means you only have to have Pilot Level 3 to fly it, and you can pick it up from Veronica Young on Volii as part of her revolving inventory.
The Frontier (7,375 credits)
- Fuel: 50
- Hull: 366
- Cargo: 450
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 310
You will start the game with the Frontier, a class A ship with underwhelming stats. Most players will want to invest in better ships as soon as possible, as this one is ill-equipped for combat.
Galileo (132,850 credits)
- Fuel: 1100
- Hull: 484
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 405
The Galileo, which you can purchase in Neon (Dalvik), New Atlantis, Red Mile, and Stroud-Eklund, may not be the game's strongest or most powerful ship, but it does get decent fuel economy and does a fair amount of ballistic and missile damage.
Galileo II (162,544 credits)
- Fuel: 1100
- Hull: 563
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 485
The Galileo II, an upgraded Galileo available for purchase in New Atlantis, comes equipped with a stronger shield and more powerful weapons than its predecessor. Though its stats are slightly better than the Galileo's, those improvements may not be worth the 30,000 credit difference.
Galileo III (238,600 credits)
- Fuel: 1100
- Hull: 685
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 600
This upgraded version of the Galileo model is fairly similar to its predecessor except for its massive increases in weaponry stats, including 44 ballistics, 26 particle beam, and 82 missile. You'll find it as one of the revolving inventory options in Cydonia or New Atlantis. Also, it's a class A ship, so anyone can pilot it.
Gladius (76,300 credits)
- Fuel: 320
- Hull: 403
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 340
Pick this class A ship from the Ship Services Technician in Cydonia or New Atlantis when it's in stock. While it's not a great ship, it can still be an upgrade from the Frontier.
Hammerhead (121,050 credits)
- Fuel: 140
- Hull: 608
- Cargo: 1640
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 525
You can purchase this class B ship from Taiyo Astroengineering in the Ryujin Building in Neon or Veronica Young in Volii. While it's not our favorite, it's a decent mid-tier and mid-budget option for transporting cargo.
Hammerhead III (275,200 credits)
- Fuel: 140
- Hull: 1015
- Cargo: 1640
- Crew: 5
- Shield: 930
An upgrade to the Hammerhead, this ship features a stronger shield, hull, and reactor than the base model. Get it from Veronica Young in Volii when it is in stock.
Hoplite (122,050 credits)
- Fuel: 800
- Hull: 609
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 505
This class B ship, which you can pick up from Nikau Henderson on Sol as part of their random cycling inventory, has decent fuel, deals laser and ballistic damage, and boasts a 26-lightyear jump distance, making it a decent find for the cost.
Hoplite II (160,488 credits)
- Fuel: 800
- Hull: 720
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 5
- Shield: 610
An upgrade to the base Hoplite, you can find this ship from the rare ship vendor in Gagarin City. It's an upgrade from the Hotpite that does everything that ship does but also has a 74 missile stat and 30-lightyear jump, in addition to its slightly larger crew, hull, and shield stats.
Kepler R (61,390 credits)
- Fuel: 2800
- Hull: 999
- Cargo: 3905
- Crew: 6
- Shield: 1127
The Kepler R has the highest fuel and cargo capacity of the game's free ships. It is a fast and manoeuvrable ship with solid weaponry, making it good for exploring and engaging in battle. You can earn the Kepler R by completing the Overdesigned mission for Walter Stroud as part of the Crimson Fleet questline. However, ensure you choose all the positive and team-oriented ships, or you may get stuck with the consolation prize.
Kepler S (24,950 credits)
- Fuel: 400
- Hull: 689
- Cargo: 3200
- Crew: 3
- Shield: 560
If you choose the wrong dialogue sequences and approaches to the Overdesigned mission, you'll end up with the inferior Kepler S. As you can see, it's much less powerful and, within the story lore, is the result of a team that doesn't see eye-to-eye on a lot of things. This is why you want to choose the options that encourage collaboration.
Kfir (104,125 credits)
- Fuel: 210
- Hull: 399
- Cargo: 785
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 325
You can get this relatively small and agile class A ship in Akila City and Neon. While there are better ships than this, it is a decently balanced budget ship option that you can use to explore the galaxy.
Lil Muv II (140,850 credits)
- Fuel: 50
- Hull: 629
- Cargo: 198-
- Crew: 3
- Shield: 455
This class A ship, which you purchase from the Hopetown HQ Salesperson, grants relatively high cargo capacity and a reactor of 23 for a reasonable cost. However, be forewarned that it does little damage.
Longsword
- Fuel: 50
- Hull: 457
- Cargo: 200-
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 375
This is a neat-looking little class A ship, but it's not one of the game's best options. You can pick this up from Nikau Henderson on Sol as part of their random ship inventory rotation.
Mako (83,250 credits)
- Fuel: 140
- Hull: 449
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 3
- Shield: 390
The Mako, which you can get from Taiyo Astroengineering in the Ryujin Building in Neon, may not have the best cargo or fuel or weapon stats, but the class A ship has a decent jump of 28 for a reasonable price.
Marathon (159,450 credits)
- Fuel: 700
- Hull: 639
- Cargo: 1460
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 520
Although its jump distance could be better, the Marathon has a decent reactor and otherwise balanced stats. As a result, it's the kind of ship in it for the long haul because it's not a sprint, it's a… Well, you get the idea. Pick one of these class A ships up in Cydonia.
MULE (97,825 credits)
- Fuel: 200
- Hull: 531
- Cargo: 1460
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 375
This class A ship, which you can pick up in Gagarin Landing and Hopetown, has reasonable power and gives you decent cargo space for a solid haul. Plus, it's affordable, making the MULE a decent choice for trading.
Murasame (250,025 credits)
- Fuel: 580
- Hull: 821
- Cargo: 470
- Crew: 6
- Shield: 690
With its six-person crew, 25 lightyear jump, and solid weaponry, this class B ship is a great option to explore and traverse the galaxy while equipping you with everything you need to take down enemies. You can acquire it in Gagarin Landing.
Mustang (79,550 credits)
- Fuel: 200
- Hull: 443
- Cargo: 675
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 375
The Mustang is a solid and affordable mid-tier class A fighter ship option with a small crew of two but decent cargo space for its size. It has light defences and weaponry, making it an okay choice for roaming safer areas. You'll find it as an option on specific in-game days at Cydonia's ship services technician.
Mustang II (108,895 credits)
- Fuel: 200
- Hull: 618
- Cargo: 675
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 550
An upgraded version of the previous entry, the Mustang II adds extra hull and shield to the base version and upgrades to weaponry stats. You find this class A ship in stock on occasion in Cydonia at the ship services tech.
Mustang III (184,475 credits)
- Fuel: 200
- Hull: 787
- Cargo: 675
- Crew: 2
- Shield: 715
This class A fighter ship is a highly upgraded version of the Mustang with a staggering 156 missile stat, not to mention a 26 reactor and laser and particle beam damage options, too. Pick it up when it's in stock at the ship services tech in Cydonia.
Narcissus (107,800 credits)
- Fuel: 210
- Hull: 433
- Cargo: 320
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 440
You can buy this ship in Neon (Dalvik), Cydonia, Paradiso, and Straud Eklund, and while it's nothing to write home about, it is a decent ship to upgrade into as you explore the Settled Systems. You may also come across versions of this ship known as the Freestar Narcissus.
Narcissus II (195,360 credits)
- Fuel: 210
- Hull: 608
- Cargo: 320
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 550
At nearly 90,000 credits more expensive than the level one version, this is a souped-up take on the Narcissus you can get in Akila City and Cydonia that gives you a 30 lightyear jump and reactor of 23, compared with the lower-tiered version's 16. It also has more shields and hull.
Narwhal (455,400 credits)
- Fuel: 650
- Hull: 2118
- Cargo: 1760
- Crew: 7
- Shield: 995
Ranking among the most expensive ships in the game, it's no surprise that many players also consider it the best due to its all-around solid stats. It is a beast of a ship with high cargo and hull stats, plus it holds seven crew, which is the most we've seen in the game to date. You can purchase this bad boy from the Ryujin building in Neon from Taiyo Astroengineering.
Nimitz (237,625 credits)
- Fuel: 1010
- Hull: 926
- Cargo: 1020
- Crew: 6
- Shield: 805
With a mix of decent fuel economy, solid weaponry, a 25 lightyear jump and 24 reactor stat, and a cargo capacity over 2,000, this is a solid ship for its price. Although the cost is a little high relative to some ships, this one, which you can get in Akila City or New Atlantis, gives you a lot of bang for your hard-earned buck.
Orca (249,925 credits)
- Fuel: 560
- Hull: 855
- Cargo: 1760
- Crew: 6
- Shield: 705
This class C ship, which you can pick up in New Atlantis, Volii, or Taiyo Astroengineering in the Ryujin Building in Neon, has a fairly high cargo capacity, decent shields, and a 30-lightyear jump distance. It also comes equipped with solid weaponry, including a 164 missile stat.
Orca III (479,550 credits)
- Fuel: 560
- Hull: 1364
- Cargo: 1760
- Crew: 6
- Shield: 705
As an upgrade to the Orca, which is already a strong option, the third tier of this ship is among the best in the game. The class C cruiser spaceship is adaptable for all types of missions and patrols, but its 162 ballistics and 136 missile stats mean it can slice through enemies.
Pelican (187,350 credits)
- Fuel: 100
- Hull: 765
- Cargo: 3300
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 570
This class C freighter, which you can pick up at Taiyo Astroengineering in the Ryujin Building in Neon, carries a staggering 3300 cargo. At a price point under 200,000, this may be one of the best hauling ships in the game, as long as you're not trying to move over long distances.
Phalanx (169,550 credits)
- Fuel: 800
- Hull: 626
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 5
- Shield: 525
You can pick up this class B ship in Cydonia, and though we don't recommend it as it's about as basic as they come in terms of mid-tier ships. However, it has a decent fuel stat, though it has only a 15-lightyear jump distance.
Phalanx II (182,050 credits)
- Fuel: 800
- Hull: 793
- Cargo: 200
- Crew: 5
- Shield: 690
A somewhat improved Phalanx, this ship has a higher shield, hull, and reactor stats than its precursor, along with a 30-lightyear jump distance and 24 reactor.
Pik Up (122,450 credits)
- Fuel: 800
- Hull: 476
- Cargo: 1140
- Crew: 3
- Shield: 355
You pick up this class A ship in Akila City, Valo, and HopeTown at Hopetech HQ. With its 1140 cargo capacity but limited shields and hull, it's clear this ship is designed for transporting goods rather than combat.
Privateer (146,000 credits)
- Fuel: 100
- Hull: 675
- Cargo: 710
- Crew: 4
- Shield: 570
This ship may look a little silly, but the Privateer, a class B destroyer ship that you can pick up at Straud Ecklund in Neon or in Volii or Narion, has a reasonable 25 lightyear jump along with decent hull and shield stats for a reasonable price tag.
Pterosaur (139,575 credits)
- Fuel: 300
- Hull: 616
- Cargo: 410
