How To Change Ships in Everspace 2

In Everspace 2, the process of changing ships may seem a bit challenging at first, but fear not! This guide will walk you through the steps to switch between your owned ships and even purchase new ones. Whether you're a fan of this mechanic or find it immersion-enhancing, we've got you covered.

To change ships, you'll need to make your way back to your Home Base, Rhodia II. Yes, we know it can be a bit time-consuming and sometimes painful, but it's an essential part of the process. Rhodia II is a bustling hub of activity where you can interact with various NPCs, upgrade your ships, and of course, change vessels. So buckle up and prepare for the journey home.

If you're playing on a PC, using the right keys will help you navigate through your ship collection effortlessly. Once you're at your Home Base, press the "Z" key to access the ship selection screen. This will bring up a menu where you can see all the ships you currently own. To cycle through your owned ships, simply press the "C" key. You can take your time exploring the different options and selecting the ship that best suits your playstyle and mission requirements.

For those playing on Xbox Series S & X consoles, worry not; changing ships is equally accessible for you. After reaching your Home Base, use the navigation controls to locate your ship collection. This can usually be found in the menu under the "Ships" tab. Once you've found it, press the "L2" button to scroll left and the "R2" button to scroll right until you find the desired ship. The interface is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, so you should have no trouble finding the ship you're looking for.

PlayStation 5 players can also enjoy seamless ship switching by following these steps. Once you've arrived at your Home Base in Rhodia II, press the "L2" button to cycle left through your ship collection and use the "R2" button for cycling right until you find the ship that suits your fancy. The controls are designed to be responsive and intuitive, ensuring a smooth experience for all players.

If you're feeling adventurous and want to expand your fleet beyond what you currently own, there's good news! You can purchase new ships from merchants in the Union and Drake systems. These systems are known for their diverse selection of ships, each with its own unique abilities and characteristics. For your convenience, the first ship dealer can be found at the Nephtys Plains Station on Ceto. Interact with the merchant NPC, browse through their inventory, and choose the ship that catches your eye. Keep in mind that each ship comes with its own price tag, so make sure to have enough credits before making a purchase.
