Ship Parts in Starfield is the first aid on hand for your ships. Used in and out of combat, Ship Parts repair, upgrade, and keep you from exploding. They are some of the most important items in the game, and when fighting in space, they can seriously help restore energy to the hull to keep your momentum going. The feature of being able to repair a ship mid-flight is why Ship Parts are so valuable.

This means putting effort into finding these parts is worthwhile if you plan to use your current ship long-term. These resources are uncommon to find while roaming but can be bought in regulated and non-regulated stores. Knowing how to repair ships in Starfield using Ship Parts while in combat can save your ship’s health in a pinch.

How To Target Ships For Ship Parts
You can also battle with other ships for Ship Parts drops. To begin combat with another ship, YouTuber GamersHeros recommends leveling up the Tech Trait Targeting Control System by 1. When the player gets close enough to a targeted ship, the panel will lock on to the different parts of the ship, such as the engines or weapons. Continue to bombard the ship in front of you until the Cargo Hold detaches, or you can board and loot the ship.
How To Repair Ships Using Ship Parts
Ship Parts will restore around 4% of your ship’s hull for 10 seconds. It is important to ensure your ship stays stable by using them after your ship’s shields disengage from combat or other harmful factors. If low on health mid-flight, watch the bottom right of the screen, where a notification of Repair Ship can be triggered with the Xbox’s RS button. Alternatively, go to the Ship Menu after the fight, and a prompt of “Repair” will pop up for you. The better the ship’s upgrades in Starfield, the stronger the shields and hull will be.
