It wouldn\u2019t be a space game without exploring space stations and living out your dream as a space pirate, stealing ships and whatnot.<\/p>\n

And on this front, Bethesda has delivered \u2013 and to explore this mechanic further, we\u2019ll be taking a look at how to dock in Starfield with boarding other spaceships explained.<\/p>\n

There are a few things to consider, however, like how to stop a ship from moving without blowing it up and making sure you have all the right paperwork to fly a colossal commandeered craft, but we\u2019ll go over those too.<\/p>\n

Stealing ships in Starfield<\/a> and selling them can be a great way to get some good money early on in the game, or if you can\u2019t make heads or tails of shipbuilding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have plenty of Starfield tips and tricks<\/a>, so be sure to clue yourself up to get the most out of the galaxy.<\/p>\n

There are hapless fellows just waiting to have their engines annihilated and their livelihood upended out there, so we won\u2019t keep you. Read on for all the boarding shenanigans!<\/p>

How to dock in Starfield: Boarding other spaceships explained<\/b><\/h2>\n

To dock with another ship or space station in Starfield, you first need to target the vessel and press A (on Xbox) or the E key (on PC) and, once you\u2019re within 500 metres, you can hold X (on Xbox) or the R key (on PC) to dock.<\/p>\n

From there, you can either board the vessel, undock from it or, alternatively, get up from the captain\u2019s chair and take yourself to your airlock.<\/p>\n

To board enemy ships, you first need to choose which ship you want and destroy any other enemy ships in the area.<\/p>\n

Once your desired vessel is all that remains, you need to disable its engines and ensure you have unlocked Targeting Control Systems on the tech tree. This allows you to directly target individual components on a ship in a system similar to Fallout<\/a>\u2019s VATS.<\/p>\n

Once disabled, follow the same procedure as above \u2013 but instead of a warm welcome, you will have to deal with the ship\u2019s crew.<\/p>\n

Be sure to have the proper license in place to fly Class B and C ships. These become available to you when you unlock Rank 3 and 4 Piloting SKill respectively.<\/p>\n
