How to dock a ship in Starfield

Discover How to dock a ship in Starfield with this excellent and detailed explanatory guide.

As space travel is central to Starfield, you should expect to do a lot of galaxy hopping in your spacecraft. You will have to dock your ship at some point so you may replenish supplies, complete quests, and discover all the hidden corners of the galaxy.

When you dock in Starfield, you link your ship to a staryard, space station, or other ships. This is necessary if you wish to hijack other ships. Still, there's a little tutorial to help you out, and you never know when you might encounter a side quest that demands you dock another ship before you've mastered the process. Alternatively, you might be suffering from a case of simple forgetfulness regarding the game's lessons and could use a reminder.

You should have no trouble docking your ship after reading this guide, even if you haven't yet gotten to the point in the game when you get instructions. 

Starfield: How to dock a ship

If you happen to come find a ship while exploring the stars or if you just want to steal it, we won't tell you’ll have to dock your ship to it before you can get to the cabin. Here are the steps to do it.

• Get close to the ship you want to dock with first. Prior to attempting to dock, ensure that you are no more than 500 meters away from the target vessel. The prompt won't show up unless you do that. 
• In order to bring up the Dock feature on Xbox, press the "A" button.
• To get the prompt while playing on a personal computer, hit the "E" key.
• Hold down the "X" button on console or the "R" key on PC to activate the prompt. After this, a cutscene should play out in which your spacecraft begins to approach the enemy ship. 
• Here, you'll be presented with three options, presuming all the previous procedures were followed accurately. Among your choices are:
• Climb aboard the stationary ship
• Get off the docked boat
• Enter the ship manually through the airlock.
• You should now be able to dock the yacht with ease and full access.

Space stations and staryards

The first time I attempted to dock with a space station, things went horribly wrong. In order to complete the Red Tape Blues side quest, I went to the Deimos Staryard to apply for the role of Deimos Executive Assistant. However, I had trouble docking my spacecraft the first several times I went there. I was fortunate in that the job still went to me despite the fact that I damaged the hull.

Just like parking a ship in Starfield, docking a space station is a breeze. Here are the things to do if you're still confused:

• Position your spacecraft so that it docks near to the designated space station. You must remain within 500 meters of the ship at all times.
• On the controller, press "A" and on the keyboard, press "E" to activate the prompt to dock or hail the ship, respectively.
• If you want to dock the ship, press the input button. Your ship's attachment to the station will be shown in another brief cutscene.
• The "X" on a console and the "R" on a personal computer will determine which button this is.
• You will be presented with three options after being docked:
• Climb aboard the staryard or space station
• Remove from Ship
• Step out of your seat and stroll the decks of your ship.
• You have the option to either board the spaceship or walk around the cabin for a little while if you need a break from piloting.

We hope that the information detailed here about How to dock a ship in Starfield has been very useful for your fun and progress in this great game.
