Q: How can I board and take control of ships in Starfield?

A: To board a ship in Starfield, you need to ensure the target ship's shields and engines are disabled, and no other hostile ships are in the vicinity. EM weapons are especially useful for disabling ship subsystems, although they're not as effective in general combat. After disabling the ship, you'll have the option to dock with it. To fully commandeer it, you must eliminate the crew.

Q: Are there non-lethal ways to commandeer a ship's crew in the game?

A: As of now, there's no non-lethal method to take over a ship's crew. If you wish to commandeer the ship, you'll need to kill the crew. However, if you're only interested in looting, you can incapacitate the crew, access the Captain's Safe and cargo hold, and then return to your ship.

Q: Once I've taken control of a ship in Starfield, how do I make it my main vessel?

A: After commandeering a ship, it automatically becomes your new home ship. Once registered, the ship is yours to keep indefinitely.
