To rename your ship in Starfield you need to speak to a ship services technician at any spaceport. Although the process is maybe not as clear as it could be. The whole renaming process in Starfield is buried in sub-menus and requires some very specific button presses to confirm. Importantly, you've also got to register your ship first! With quite a few rules and steps to follow, I've laid out how exactly you rename your Starfield ship below.
How to change your ship’s name in Starfield
Renaming your Starfield ship requires a visit to a ship services technician at any spaceport. These are most often found in the major Starfield cities, but you can also find them in larger areas like Cydonia and Paradiso. Wherever you find one, start the process by speaking to the technician and say you’d like to “view and modify” your ships, and then do the following steps:
- Once you’re in the ship viewing menu, press X while looking at the ship you want to rename to open the ship builder menu.
- Follow the Flight Check button prompt to open the information box, then press X to rename your ship.
- Press X again and type in your new name.
- Press A to confirm the new name for your ship, then press B to twice to exit the ship modification menu.
- Make sure you press A to accept and apply the new name to your ship and any other modifications.
There are no fees to renaming your ship, so you can play around as much as you like, unlike getting repairs or using Starfield ship parts which will cost you. While you’re speaking to the technician you also can upgrade and change your ship with Starfield ship customization. Or, if you want a new ship altogether, you can also buy one from them, though they don’t sell the best Starfield ships out there.
