A ship is the heart and soul of your intergalactic experience in Starfield, and you will come across several pre-built ships in the game. Not only do you explore with this ship, but you also find yourself in many dogfights with enemy forces in space. In such a case, your ship, which is also your home, must be strong enough to defeat enemies in your path. And just like any game, some of the ships outperform others in the speed and weapons department. In this article, we've covered some of the best ships you can find in Starfield.

Whether you want a balanced starship that can do equal amounts of exploration and combat or pure battleship, we've got it all here. Most of these ships mentioned below are purchasable, except for a few choices that you need to steal.

Yes, we have read the comments and corrected. The Narwhal is one of the best and most expensive ships in the game, so we've doubled down to bring you a dedicated guide to finding the Narwhal ship in Starfield. Deep in the heart of Neon, you'll find Taiyoh Astroneering in the Ryujin Industries facility. This is where you can get arguably one of the most expensive, yet versatile ships. Called the Narwhal, it's the perfect ship for transport and dogfighting, thanks to its amazing ship system.

For starters, you can bring up to seven companions on this ship, making it one of the few ships in the game that allows that many people. On top of that, you get a cargo capacity of 1,760 tonnes to transport all your items. And in dogfights you get a solid advantage. Not only do you get a great engine that lets you zoom through space, but you also get a powerful shield system, ballistics and laser system, thanks to its brilliant power distribution. While the Narwhal could use a better missile system, the other components make up for it.
