what have you found to be the easiest way to get a new ship?
I got lucky and some colonizers were asking for help so I helped them out, then just out of curiosity I lock picked to get into their ship and was able fly off without consequence.
I tried doing the same thing with other landed ships but then it just says I’m not authorized
- Get the Targeting skill.
- Find space combat.
- Target engines, disable ship
- Dock with disabled ship
- Kill everyone aboard
- Get in the pilot seat
Congratulations you have a new ship for free. If you are well geared, this is incredibly easy and you can knock out a ship in a single shot.
You can also just hang around on planets and wait for ships to land nearby. If they aren’t Spacers or Ecliptic teams being dropped, you can sneak aboard and fly away. Though I find it kinda lame you can’t also take the drop ships used to spawn enemies. Dumb door to go inside is always [inaccessible] :/
Every ship I own I got for free either doing the above, or as a reward for a quest.
You don’t even need the targeting
Every ship I’ve gotten behind and fired at has lost engines no problem
Hell, I think every ship I haven’t explicitly gotten behind had engines fail at low health too
I have to use targeting most of the time because my guns are so powerful, a single shot can usually blow up the whole ship otherwise lol
