Starfield: How to get the best parts to build & upgrade your ship

In Starfield, in order to make the ultimate spaceship, you’ll require the best components available in the system. Here’s a list of places where you can get the best parts to build and upgrade your ship in Starfield.

Shipbuilding is essential in Starfield because travel and ship combat are some of the major aspects of the title. It’s no surprise that the quality of your ship directly impacts your progress, and making sure that it is in top-notch condition is quite important for survival in space.

While selling old ships and buying new ones is always an option, it costs a ton of Credits. As a result, players can try out the ship-building system to create powerful and unique ships and greatly personalize their experience in Starfield.

Here’s how and where to get the best ship parts in Starfield.

Where to get the best ship parts in Starfield

You will find the best starship parts in the shipyards or showrooms of the major shipbuilding manufacturers of Starfield such as Deimos, HopeTech, Stroud-Eklud, Taiyo Astroneering, and Nova Galactic.

The locations of these dealerships are:

• Deimos: Deimos Staryard, Deimos, Moon of Mars, Sol System
• HopeTech: Hopetown Shipyard, Titan, Moon of Saturn, Sol System
• Stroud-Eklund: Stroud-Eklund Showroom, Neon, Volii Alpha, Volii System
• Taiyo Astroneering: Taiyo Astroneering Showroom, Neon, Volii Alpha, Volii System
• Nova Galactic: Although located in the orbit of Luna in the Sol System, the Nova Galactic Staryard is completely abandoned. Get their parts from the local vendors instead.

It is widely considered through the Settled Systems that these five major organizations offer the best quality parts for building ships. Although there are 14 smaller companies with no shipyard or showrooms to their name, these are the best overall. You can even buy entire ships from them.

For example, many players consider Deimos to produce the best-looking ships and parts due to the extremely high-end military workaround. Plus, Deimos specializes in defense, providing an all-around balance if you have some powerful firepower on you.

Other places to get ship parts in Starfield

You can also get parts of these manufacturers from the local vendors that are generally situated on every major landing site in Starfield. For example, the one in New Atlantis specializes in selling Deimos and Nova Galactic parts.

However, do not ignore the other smaller companies, as you will have to include their parts too in order to make a complete build, and not all major outlets will have everything you need. For example, Amun Dunn specializes in making fine-quality reactors, which are essential for higher-end ships.

Here are some more places where you can get more niche parts for your ship in Starfield:

• New Atlantis: Jemison, New Atlantis
• Akila City: Akila, Cheyenne
• Neon: Volii Alpha, Volii
• Cydonia: Mars, Sol
• New Homestead: Titan, Sol, Saturn
• Gagarin Landing: Gagarin, Alpha Centauri
• The Den: Chthonia, Wolf
• The Clinic: Deepala, Narion
• Paradiso: Porrima II, Porrima
• Red Mile: Porrima III, Porrima
• The Key: Suvorov, Kryx (requires you to be affiliated with the Crimson Fleet)

This was everything to know about getting the best ship parts in Starfield for building and upgrading your ships.
