Whether you’re engaged in ship battles galore, you’ve got a vessel sitting around waiting for you to claim it after killing all the evil spacers aboard, or you’re honest-to-goodness given a star cruiser of your own through hard work and determination, there’ll come a point when you want to sell, sell, sell. Don’t worry - it’s simple stuff, albeit with quite the costly little caveat.
See That Ship-That’s-Not-Yours? You Can Fly It
The process ofprocuringa ship is pretty painless. Well, it can be painful if the opposition involved is plentiful and/or well above your level, but otherwise, it’s as simple aswiping out the enemy(if there is an enemy), reaching the cockpit, taking a seat, and plotting a course. There’s no ID scan or anything of that nature. You’re in the clear.
You can steal ships from bad guys, but you can also steal ships from good guys.You can steal the ride home from poor astronautsif it pleases you, and we’re bolding that not because it’s an important part of this guide, but because that’s really messed up.
Bring Your Ship To Servicing
There’s a caveat to all this simplicity, however, and it’s a big one.Before you may sell a ship that isn’t rightfully yours, you must register itat a spacedock. Chat with the head technician - he’s usually the fellow right near the landing pad at major settlements - and ask tosee the ships on offer.
From here, press the button to tab over toyourships, and the stolen craft will need to be registered for a sizable fee. Of course, on the other hand,if the ship you wish to sell is rightfully yours - reclaimed peacefully, or given as a quest reward - you can sell for full profit. It’s already yours.
Don’t ignore the still-significant sum you may bank, if the ship is good enough for decent coin. A powerful ship might cost around 10,000 credits to sign in your name, which is a fair bit to be sure, but flip it for 20,000 for a nice 10k profit.
Consider a quick save before registering the ship in your name, in case you end up deciding the split difference for profit doesn’t justify the loss of the ship!
