A free ship is the very best reward a mission may give you in Starfield. Ships are costly to purchase and complicated to construct early on, and some of the free ships are so good you will not have to ever exchange them. And you are not caught with these fashions as-is: Utilizing Starfield’s ship building, you may add extra cargo house and weaponry to make them even higher.
The Frontier, your first free ship, is completely able to dealing with all types of stuff within the first a number of hours, however you may finally discover it lacks cupboard space and energy in house battles. If you wish to modify your gear and construct outposts, you may want much more storage than the Frontier can provide. Plus, the missions it’s good to full for the free ships are enjoyable to do regardless.
I might suggest ready till you have spent 6 to 12 hours in Starfield earlier than choosing considered one of these up. A number of the missions could possibly be robust when you’re low stage, and it takes a while to know precisely what you are searching for in a ship. As soon as you have accomplished that, try the checklist beneath and select which one you need to go and accumulate.
The Razorleaf
Mission: MANTIS (gained from looting “Secret Outpost!” from Spacer enemies)
Sort: Class A ship
Crew: 2
Gasoline: 140
Hull: 469
Cargo: 420 / Shielded capability: 160
The Razorleaf is mainly Starfield’s Batmobile. It is a lean, high-damage ship you get for finishing the MANTIS quest, which you’ll choose up from killing Spacers. Solely two crewmembers can match within the Razorleaf and it lacks tons of cargo house, nevertheless it’s significantly extra highly effective in ship battles than your first ship, the Frontier.
Star Eagle
Mission: The Hammer Falls (Freestar Ranger faction missions)
Sort: Class A ship
Crew: 5
Gasoline: 140
Hull: 948
Cargo: 2280 / Shielded capability: None
The Star Eagle might be probably the most balanced free ship in Starfield. In comparison with the Frontier, it has a great deal of cargo house for stashing supplies, and it might probably maintain 5 crew members without delay. It will deal with house battles simply advantageous with its extremely highly effective missiles. So long as you are keen to assist the Freestar Rangers out on Akila, this ship ought to final on your whole first playthrough.
UC Jail Shuttle
Mission: Echoes of the Previous (Crimson Fleet faction mission)
Sort: Class A ship
Crew: 1
Gasoline: 200
Hull: 418
Cargo: 1090 / Shielded capability: None
Not each free ship is a winner. The UC Jail Shuttle serves its function within the Crimson Fleet mission the place you utilize it, however as a every day driver it isn’t notably spectacular. You will want to move into the ship builder to remodel it into greater than an area bus with no weapons. I might categorize the UC Jail Shuttle as a collector’s merchandise quite than one thing you’d realistically belief to maintain you alive in house.
Kepler R
Mission: Overdesigned (obtainable after ending Excessive Worth to Pay)
Sort: Class C ship
Crew: 6
Gasoline: 2800
Hull: 999
Cargo: 3550 / Shielded capability: None
Say hi there to the very best free ship for hoarders in Starfield. The Kepler R can carry a great deal of stuff and is not dangerous in a struggle both. However there is a catch: The Kepler R is just a little difficult to acquire, and it requires you to max out your Piloting within the Tech talent tree.
Your Constellation buddy, Walter Stroud, will ship you on a mission referred to as Overdesigned after you have met him in the primary story. To complete the mission with the Kepler R as an alternative of the weaker Kepler S ship, it’s good to cross a persuasion test and be keen to speak a ship designer into making it.
This is what it’s good to do to get the Kepler R:
- Persuade Jules by deciding on the “We are able to construct no matter need…” possibility, then “We have to go large or go house…”
- End the bounty and escort missions
- Inform Jules “Let’s strive teambuilding…”
- Have the crew repeat constructive “I…” statements
- Jules will inform you the crew is motivated
- Return to Walter Stroud after which go dock and board your new ship within the Stroud Eklundd Staryard close to Dalvik (Narion system)
Kepler S
Mission: Overdesigned (obtainable after ending Excessive Worth to Pay)
Sort: Class B ship
Crew: 3
Gasoline: 400
Hull: 689
Cargo: 3200 / Shielded capability: None
The weaker variant of the Kepler ship from Walter Stroud’s Overdesigned mission is not nice. It has a considerable amount of cargo house, nevertheless it’s simply worse than the Kepler R in each manner. You’ll be gifted this ship if the design crew fails to agree with one another. To get it, simply do the alternative of the steps above by aiming for a low price range and letting the crew flounder.
Wanderwell
Mission: N/A, acquired by progressing by the sport with the Child Stuff trait
Sort: Class A ship
Crew: 2
Gasoline: 200
Hull: 502
Cargo: 800 / Shielded capability: None

Go to your dad and mom in New Atlantis usually sufficient and finally your father will point out successful a ship from a card recreation and provides it to you. It is technically the best free ship to get, however no person is aware of what prompts your dad to speak about it.
The Wanderwell is strictly the sort of ship that somebody would win from a card recreation. It is merely common in each respect. It will get you across the galaxy with its 27-lightyear bounce vary, and it will carry out effectively in fight with a 28 ballistics stat. However you may have to do a variety of work to get this factor to compete with Starfield’s different free ships.
