Best shipyards

The best Starfield shipyard locations are the ones where you choose from a solid selection of fresh ships to invest in, as well as find a range of modules you can use to upgrade your existing fleet. As you start to explore the world of Starfield you'll soon realize that there are plenty of shipyards dotted around the place, with each having its own selection of stock for sale, so you could end up spending a lot of time shopping around to find out who has the top wares. To help speed up this process, I've covered some of the best shipyard locations in Starfield, including where to look and what you'll find there.

All major shipyard locations in Starfield

There are dozens of Starfield shipyard locations spread across the galaxy and Settled Systems, from single technicians at the landing pads to random space stations, to the main headquarters of major manufacturers. All the major Starfield cities have at least one shipyard - or sometimes more, in the case of a city like Neon.

That being said, which are the ones that you actively want to seek out in a pinch?

Best shipyards in Starfield

Here are several shipyards in Starfield that should be high on your list to check out if you have some extra credits and want to try some Starfield ship customization.

Neon landing pad (Neon City, Volii Alpha, Volii system)
- The Neon technician sells a range of high-end pieces, which makes sense considering Neon's status as a big, unregulated intergalactic market. Not only that, but if they don't have anything you want, you can just go into the Neon Core district and to the showrooms of both Stroud-Ekland and Taiyo for even greater choice.
The Key (in orbit around Suvorov, Kryx system)
- You'll need to know how to join the Crimson Fleet Pirates in Starfield first, as they're the ones who own this space station and will blast you if you get too close otherwise, but the Key sells a variety of illegal pieces that are just not for sale in many other places - including the tech needed to engage in Starfield contraband smuggling.
New Atlantis landing pad (New Atlantis, Jemison, Alpha Centauri system)
- It's an easy option, but considering New Atlantis is basically "tutorial city", their technician sells a variety of ships and modules that'll suit almost any need. The quality isn't always superb, but there's a very high variety, making this a great shipyard for beginner pilots looking for just the right option.
