Starfield: How to repair your ship

Keeping your ship in great health is a must for coming out on top of tense space battles, but it isn’t necessarily that easy to figure out how. To help you out we’ve put together this guide on how to repair your ship in Starfield.

Starfield’s combat varies greatly featuring everything from old-fashioned gunfights to epic space dogfights. In the midst of battle you’ll have to rely on your ship and hope that it holds out long enough.

However, if you are involved in space combat, your ship is bound to take a beating. In such a scenario, you’ll need to repair your ship to ensure that it doesn’t malfunction or even get destroyed mid-flight.

This is everything you need to know about how to repair your ship in Starfield, including how to get Ship Parts for the job.

How to repair your ship in Starfield

Ship repairs can be done in two different ways in Starfield. You can do this either normally by visiting a vendor or in combat. If you want to repair your ship normally then follow the steps provided below:

1. Travel to any of the major cities in the game.
2. Look for a Ship Services Technician.
3. Pay them 1000 Credits.

Alternatively, you can repair your ship in combat by using Ship Parts which act a lot like Med Packs but for your ship:

1. When in combat or flying in space keep track of whether your ship is taking damage.
2. If your ship’s hull isn’t at full health press O on keyboard or RS on Xbox to use a Ship Part and begin healing.
3. You can only heal if you own at least one Ship Part and Ship Parts can be used directly from your ship’s storage.
