The Best Ship Manufacturers in Starfield

While the “best” starship manufacturers in Starfield come down to personal preference, based on your play style and character build, we recommend a few above all others. They include:

  • Ballistic Solutions: This manufacturer specializes in high-end ballistic weaponry and sizable fuel tanks for long-range jumps.
  • HopeTech: An all-around top-tier ship manufacturer that doesn’t specialize in any specific category but does excel in most.
  • Protectorate Systems: If you wish to haul and sell cargo across the Settled Systems, these cargo holds prove most effective.
  • Stroud-Eklund: They specialize in aesthetically pleasing habs that make you feel at home while on your starship.
  • Taiyo Astroneering: The premier cockpit and hab developer in the Settled Systems, in direct competition with HopeTech and Stroud-Eklund.

If you want a high-end spacesuit to go with your new starship, we recommend the free and exceptionally strong Mantis Spacesuit.
