Methods for Stealing a Ship

Stealing Docked or Landed Ships

Find an Unguarded Ship: Ships are commonly found in docking zones on planets or space stations.
Approach and Unlock: Use a Digipick to unlock the hatch. If the lock is advanced, you'll need a higher Security skill.
Board and Take Control: If no crew is aboard, head straight to the Pilot Seat. Otherwise, deal with the crew.

Stealing Ships in Space Combat

Targeting: Engage with the ship in combat, using targeted lock-ons to specifically disable its engines.
Boarding: Approach the disabled ship and board it. You may need to consult a guide on docking and boarding for more details.
Eliminate Crew: Clear the ship of enemy NPCs.
Pilot: Go to the cockpit and take control. Note that some ships require higher ranks in Piloting skills.

Additional Tips for Space Combat

Weapons: Equip weapons that deal "Electromagnetic Damage" to destroy engines effectively.
Mission Selection': Choose missions that require you to hunt down enemy spacecraft to avoid making friendly factions hostile.

Free Roam Planet Method

Locate Ship Landing Sites: While free roaming on planets, use scanners to find "Ship Landing Sites" randomly appearing as points of interest.
Take Control: Approach the parked ship, eliminate any crew, and take off from the pilot seat.

Faction-Specific Restrictions

Ships from certain factions, like Crimson Fleet ships, can only be docked at specific bases belonging to the faction.

Registering and Selling Stolen Ships

Visit Ship Services Technician: Found at major settlements or spaceports.
Open Sell Menu: Choose the option "Let me see what ships you have for sale," then switch to the ‘Sell’ menu.
Register: Pay the fee to register your newly stolen ship.
Sell: Make sure to designate another ship as your home ship before selling the stolen one.

In-Game Consequences

Faction Relations: Stealing may turn factions hostile or affect your reputation.
Security Forces: You might attract attention and be pursued by enemy factions or security forces.
Fast Travel: Stolen ships will become your home ship when using features like grav jumping, landing on a planet, or fast traveling.
