Starfield Ship Trading Guide
Trading with spaceships is a very simple process. First, you must find a suitable vessel you want to trade with. Next, you need to wait until theHail optionappears near the ship’s name, and then you canhold the A buttonto confirm. A dialogue box will pop up, and you can select the“Let’s trade” optionto open the shop screen.
Like thestoresin various cities, the type of objects you can purchase and sell will depend on the ship you are trading with. For example, a settler ship usually brings a lot of resources but does not offer other types of items, such as suits, weapons, or aid supplies.
Do note that spaceships havesmaller fundscompared to shops on the planets. One of the vessels I contacted only had a measly 2,000Credits. I recommend buying all goods that catch your eye before you begin selling your items.
Lastly, while most spaceships are more than happy to trade with you, some vessels will not present this option in the dialogue box. For instance, UC warships prefer to keep conversations brief and avoid trading with you.
Be warned thatyou cannot trade with any ship if you are a pirate or have a bounty on your head. After all, nobody wants to interact with a criminal who may get trigger-happy and raid their vessel.
