How to get your first ship in Starfield
Barrett will give you his ship, the Frontier, and tell you to travel to Constellation headquarters in New Atlantis. Head into the ship and fire it up to go to space. You’ll have a few tutorials to complete on how to travel around the galaxy, but after that, you’re free to take your ship wherever your heart pleases.

How to get a new ship in Starfield
The Frontier will serve your purposes for a good while, but eventually you’ll need to upgrade to a new ship, whether it’s for more firepower or a bigger cargo hold. There are two main ways of getting a new ship in Starfield:
While you’re out exploring you might occasionally see another ship land somewhere. If you head to a landed ship, and it’s not important to the main story, you’ll get an optional objective to kill all enemies aboard and take it over. If you do so, and pilot the ship to space, you’ll get a notice saying the next time you land it somewhere it’ll become your main ship. But be aware that if it’s a B or C class ship, you’ll need the necessary rank in thePiloting skill.
