Knowing how to rename your ship in Starfield can help to add a personal touch, so here’s exactly how you can change it.

One of the best aspects of Starfield is the shipbuilder, which enables players to unleash their inner space engineer as they create the starship of their dreams. In fact, this feature is so robust that the game’s community has created functional replicas of Han Solo’s Millenium Falcon and Batman’s Batwing.

Starfield’s shipbuilder offers a huge variety of customization options and enables adventurers to store various items, so it’s only right that players would want to give their faithful space-faring vehicle a name. 

After all, if you’ve built a ship you’re proud of or created a whacky design you wish to show off, then you obviously want a name to match it. So, here’s how you can rename your ship in Starfield.

Renaming your ship in Starfield only takes a couple of minutes.

Renaming your ship in Starfield is a fairly easy process and only takes a couple of minutes to achieve. Once you’ve located a Ship Technician on a nearby settlement or base, simply follow the instructions outlined below: 

  • Interact with the Ship Technician.
  • Select the “I’d like to view and modify my ships” option. 
  • Click on the “Ship Builder” option. 
  • Open the “Flight Check” menu.
  • Select “Rename Ship.”
  • Type in your ship’s new name and hit confirm.

While you can change your ship’s name as many times as you like without spending any of your hard-earned Credits, you are only limited to 14 characters when naming it. So, bear this in mind before you begin coming up with anything too lengthy.

So, there you have it, that’s how you can change your ship’s name in Starfield. Now that you’ve customized your ship, be sure to check out our Starfield page for all the latest news and guides.
