where to buy ship parts starfield

You can buy ship parts in Starfield at most general goods stores and larger corporate vendors on the main hubs, plus some Trade Authority locations.

Best places to buy ship parts

These spots are reliable early- and mid‑game sources.

  • Jemison Mercantile – New Atlantis spaceport on Jemison (Jemison surface, right near the landing pad).
  • UC Distribution Center – New Atlantis Commercial District, opposite GalBank.
  • UC Exchange – Cydonia on Mars (Lower Level 1/main hub).
  • Shepherd’s General Store – Akila City on Akila (Cheyenne system).
  • Newill’s Goods – Neon Core in Neon City.
  • Sieghart’s Outfitters – Neon Core as well, another solid general vendor.
  • Trade Authority retail stores – In person shops in Neon, New Atlantis, Akila City, and Mars may stock ship parts, though inventory can be inconsistent.
  • Trade Authority kiosks / merchant vessels – Some guides list kiosks and merchant ships as potential sellers, but availability varies by game version and RNG.

Ship parts appear under the Aid category (not ship builder), usually near the top of the list because each part weighs 10.

How much they cost and how many you can get

  • Typical price: around 1,225 credits per ship part at standard vendors.
  • Usual stock: many shops carry roughly 3–5 parts at a time; you often need to hop between cities or wait for inventories to reset if you want a big stack.

A simple loop some players use: fast‑travel between New Atlantis, Neon, Akila City, and Cydonia, then clear out all the major vendors listed above.

Other ways to get ship parts

If you’re low on credits or between cities, you can still snag more parts.

  • Loot from space combat
    • Destroyed enemy ships can occasionally drop ship parts as loot.
  • Random rewards for helping factions in space
    • Helping UC SysDef or Freestar Collective ships in skirmishes can sometimes grant ship parts as a reward.
  • General exploration and mission rewards
    • Some missions, derelict ships, and containers in space or on planets may include a few ship parts, but this is inconsistent and not farm‑reliable.

Because drops are random, most players still rely on city vendors for a dependable supply.

Quick usage tips (so you don’t waste them)

  • Ship parts function as a healing item for your ship’s hull , restoring about 40% total hull over 10 seconds.
  • They are very heavy (10 mass each), so it’s smart to move them into your ship’s cargo instead of carrying them on your character.
  • You can quickly find them in vendor menus by:
    • Opening the Aid tab.
    • Sorting by weight , then looking for items with mass 10.00.

A common pattern: buy ship parts from Jemison Mercantile, UC Distribution Center, and the nearest Trade Authority store, move them into your ship cargo immediately, and keep at least 5–10 on board before heading into tougher star systems.
