how many ships can you have in starfield
You can normally have up to 10 ships in Starfield at once in your fleet, with a couple of important wrinkles.
Quick Scoop
- The standard cap is 10 owned ships in your list.
- When you hit that limit, the game blocks most new purchases or captures until you sell or scrap one.
- Certain quest‑reward ships can push you above that cap (players often report 11 when they get a special mission ship like Star Eagle or other story vessels).
- You can only fly one active ship at a time, but you can freely swap which one is set as your home ship at spaceports.
A bit more detail
Players widely confirm that:
- The hard “garage” limit for regular ownership is 10 ships per character save.
- If you’re already at 10 and accept some specific quest rewards, those ships can still be added without an error, temporarily giving you 11 until you sell something.
- On PC, mods and console commands exist that can raise this limit, but on an unmodded game the practical answer to “how many ships can you have in Starfield?” is 10, plus a rare extra from quest rewards.
In everyday play: plan around 10 slots for your custom builds and captured ships, and treat any extra quest ship you get as a bonus slot on top.
TL;DR: In the current vanilla version, you can have 10 ships in your fleet, with some quest ships occasionally letting you sneak to 11 before you prune the list.
