How to Collect Your New Ship in Starfield

▶

To collect your new ship in Starfield, you need to follow specific steps based on how you acquired it, such as completing a mission like Overdesigned, where after finishing the mission, the Kepler R will automatically appear in your ship inventory, or buying one from a spaceport, where the new ship will replace your old one. Collecting your new ship can be as simple as speaking to a character like Walter Stroud after completing a task for them, or it can involve more complex steps like stealing a ship from an enemy, which requires disabling engines, boarding, and then making the stolen ship your new home ship.
