Starfield Sell Unregistered Ship Xbox & PC 

Oh and subscribed!

i agree. it makes sense that they would need to make a profit and therefore pay you less than full value, but even a pawn shop will pay you half of what your stuff worth. a ship should be worth at minimum 50%, probably closer to 65%

A pawn shop is not a used car lot is it. Don’t even get me started on GameStop, which was bad for the video game industry as well ripping off gamers.

That’s what it should sell for unregistered - it should sell for like 80% if it’s registered. That would match closer to what it is in real life. You’ll never be able to sell a stolen car for anywhere near it’s normal selling price - you’ll be lucky to get 10% for it. But if you own it and have the legal title? Then you can sell it for fair market value. The way it works in the game is fairly realistic, actually - other than I doubt at any point in any future science fiction universe that a fully functioning space ship of _any_ size would ever fetch the same price as a nice assault rifle. That part is a bit fubar. They really should’ve just scaled up the price of the ships significantly, or made them sell for a different currency that has a huge conversion ratio or something.

I love the fact that they knew their economy system sucked then they decided to patch the puddle glitch. They deemed that so important that it was one of the first patches. But yet still, every 1 out of 10 times I take off in my ship, half of it stays on the landing pad 😂

Oh that makes so much more sense. Thank you for the clarification!

Ill have to try this out tonight. Thanks for the tip!

did u test it?@@circuitscore

@@Wakiku Tested and it works! Check out my latest video.

No problem! Happy ship hunting!

No problem and thats what I like to hear! Thanks for the support!

Day in the life 🌻

I'm dreading the day. This glitch is one of the reasons I'm still enjoying the game. Makes ship piracy so much more enjoyable. 85% registration fees are insane. Whoever thought that was a good idea over at Bethesda is clearly not in touch with its fan base at all.

Thanks Kodiak! You too!

Happy to help! Thanks for watching.

Or you could do both! Sell the cargo and then sell the ship without registration fees. 100% still the best way to make money in this game.

That's a solid tip. I had no idea. Ill have to check that out! Thanks!

No problem! Thanks for watching.

That's right! Xbox fam unite.

Good to know! Thanks for the tip!

I've found that pretty much anything you do or don't can glitch the game. just get into the habit of saving constantly.

For Xbox, no issues experienced. Sold 6 or 7 ships in a row like this.

No problem. Glad it still works. I know its not as easy to achieve after the latest update but it is still possible to do. Thanks for watching.

No problem!

That's what I like to hear! I really hope they don't patch this one. Thank you for the sub!

I love this method. Hopefully it doesn't get patched!

That's what I like to hear!

That's what I like to hear!

Makes some sense from a game balance perspective, but not from an immersion or realism perspective. And they didn't bother to put in anything to prevent a level 3 player from landing on a planet, setting up an outpost and gaining infinite xp and money within half an hour of leaving the tutorial so why bother arbitrarily choosing to balance one thing over the other.

Yeah but they could have made the registration fees more forgiving. 85% of the sellable value of the ship is ridiculous. Should be 50% max.

They could have gated selling or modifying stolen ships behind a mid tier master rank, similar to starship design. How is it that looting a red notepad makes people shoot at you but a stolen space ship is totally fine. The game doesn't have enough criminal traits and bonuses to chase.

@@TKMcClone Now that would have been the way to do it! Yeah I like this game but they do not encourage criminal activity. You would have thought the game would have been much darker with everyone having to abandon Earth.

No problem!

😂 Well at least now you know!

That's what I do!

That's what I like to hear!

By far the best exploit in the game! You can make so many credit this way!

Good to know. Thanks!

for me it had to be a story mode ship like frontier or starb***

Well tried that and accidentaly sold the Wanderwell.. somehow whenever it switch ships it still try to sell the one I previously add Probably because I didnt use mouse and just pressed the sell key and the switch key in the same time from a registered ship toward an unregistered one idk

@@Lew98765 another reason to quicksave before attempting. Given this is effectively a glitch, likely happens differently between console and PC.

No probs!

😂

Agreed it is pretty dumb. They should at a minimum have a place in the Key or somewhere that you can do some black market dealings and register for much cheaper if they really wanted to keep the registration fees in the game.

Its so much more rewarding to sell your ships without registering! I hope this never gets patched.

I’d just had my main ship my ships to sell and one just for that reason of the door and bugging out. Could just be a shitty pirate ship

Ive never had this issue with the doors not opening. I always make sure to set a home ship that I own before selling.

@@circuitscore it's not that they're not opening, they don't exist. Luckily to fix this and not run for miles on end do what I said but in New Atlantis in the Spaceport. By that I mean you don't fast travel to MAST, Residential, Commercial or Lodge areas. Just "New Atlantis", you'll be at the Spaceport. Try doing this in Akila and you spawn way outside the city. Do so in the Key or Den and your ship isn't spawned to make direct changes. I never tried it but Neon might work since the planet is pure ocean.

Exactly its like ok if it need to be in the game that fine but we need SOMETHING like the Thieves' guild from Skyrim where we can take advantage of selling stolen ships if we join certain factions. Even Elder Scrolls online has these areas in the sewer system. Its not like this is anything unfamiliar to Bethesda.

That's what I do!

That would be awesome. I bet the modders could do it! Cant wait until Creation kit tools for modders are released. Going to breath new life into this game no doubt.

Ive read that Deimos Staryard & the Stroud-Eklund Corporate HQ in Neon have 160k. Ill confirm this later. Also at the end of my video I show how to replenish his credits sleeping on Venus. Doesn't take too long to do.

Welcome!

Yeah yeah! Thanks for the heads up. Before I made this video I didnt realize you could go wither way between LB or RB. It works as long as its going from a ship you own to a ship you dont own. Cant be unregistered to unregistered. I actually made an updated video explaining this process.

Try to make the unregistered ship your home ship. Back out of the menus talk to the ship tech again. Now set a registered ship you own as your home ship, do not leave the dialog prompt at this point. Click see what ships you have for sale, change it to sell, and the ship you are trying to sell should be in your last slot.

Yeah the economy in this game makes no sense. They should have at least given us a place to sell unregistered ships to an underground market or something like that.

You're welcome!

Naw dawg. Ship vendors take longer to replenish credits otherwise I wouldn't be sending everyone to Venus 😂

Q+Left Click is very tricky. I def prefer a controller for this method. Much easier.

I am dreading the day this is patched. It makes stealing ships a so much more rewarding experience.

Sorry to hear that. I do make plenty of hard saves just in case however I have not had any corruption issues as of yet.

You will only get the full value of what us as the player will be able to sell it for. The inflated value you see in your menu is what the ship techs will sell them for which is also ridiculous in of itself. If you ask me the economy in this game is wack.

No problem 👍

You know you got a good point between finding venus, the loading screens, landing, sleeping, traveling back its probably way faster to just wait 24hrs in the ship. Edit: I was just thinking about this and I think I tried that originally. I think ship vendors take longer to replenish their credits hence why Venus is necessary. Ill test it out later today. Edit 2: Sleeping 24 Hours in Jemison does not work. Ship vendors do not reset credits the same as other vendors. I had to go to Venus and sleep 6 hours (600 universal hours) to get him to replenish his credits.

Exactly especially when the ship tech sell them for 10 time what you can sell them for and that's before registering them. I think they need to remove registration fees or at least make them WAY lower.

Because the pricing is very bad. If we look at our real world, a few decade old c5 galaxy cargo plne is sold as used for like 200 million dollars. Based on the prices there, where they ask you for a space hamburger 70 creds, a combat vessel should be priced at least 10 million in A class and a c class to start from 100 million. Remember, the player can get up to a few billion creds as a maximum sum, Outposts should cost a lot more resources and ship cargo capacity should be at least 10x larger, if not 50x. The economy mechanic is not balanced at all in this game. Mandatory registering is a stupid thing in general, but it becomes evident when you go to the red mile and that tech doesn't give a crap, so in turn you should be able to flip ships there without a register and with the crimson fleet, it should be quite obvious not to be needed. But the game says it is. Also, once you change a reactor there should be a complete loss of your whereabouts and bounty on your head once you change ships and clothes. For a 2023 game, starfield is severely 2 decades old outdated in game mechanics and economics balancing. Starfield is the diablo 4 of this type of open world games. Stupid rinse and repeat for getting a new equipment with slightly better stats, farm the mobs in hack and slash. It is fun, but sadly is just lame, clearly not worth the 70 dollar asking price. 17 dollar is a fair price for Starfield, seeing you get fallout 4 with all dlcs for 10 dollars.

That is a great idea. Making it a skill that people can work towards makes so much more sense than the current system.

It’s a single player game! We wanna risk piracy, let us sell those ships! Or at least let us sell unregistered ships to the Crimson Fleet or something, so that there’s a good reason to actually side with them.

@@DomDomPop 100% agreed. They need to implement something like the theives guild where we can sell stolen ships items etc. Crimson fleet hideout would be a perfect location. I feel like this game has a lot of missed opportunities like that.

@@circuitscore ​​⁠Exactly. Honestly I’m pissed that the UC and Crimson Fleet factions are ultimately incompatible. I mean, I get it lore-wise, but it kinda sucks that you have to either leave the last quest unfinished or pick a side, and it clearly incentivizes going UC over the Fleet. Something like this would balance that out a bit.

No problem!

Its safer though if you do start on your home ship so you don't accidentally sell a ship you don't want to since the game wont let you sell you home ship. Good to know though!

Agreed. Its far too easy to steal a ship even on Very Hard with the right OP weapons.

No issue yet on my end. Been doing this a lot 😂 Thanks for the heads up though!

Hahaha yeah this game has a lot of oversights like that. You can get Aurora from the bar in Neon Euphorika. Once inside you can talk to the bartender to buy access to the exclusive member only lounge area where you can buy it.

That's what I like to hear! I really hope this one never gets patched. Makes pirating ships so much more rewarding.

Not sure man. Lets hope so though. Ive heard of a lot of people with that issue.

Perhaps

Eh I make a lot of hard saves just in case. Not Quicksaves. I'm not worried about it. Ive done this glitch so many times and no issues so far.

Yeah I make a lot of hard saves. Never had an issue with using this trick though.

PC takes some persistence and very good timing. Ive found it actually works better to Click on the Q button and hit Enter on the Keyboard. It has to be in succession of each other within milliseconds but you have to Click Q and then Enter slightly overlapping releasing the mouse click almost instantly. Ill admit it is pretty tough to do but not impossible.

@@circuitscore Thats the trick! I tried 100 times pressing Q and enter, then Q and left clicking enter. 2nd time left clicking Q and pressing enter worked. And someone else mentioned its the release that matters for timing, not the clicking. You can click and hold and then release.

Good to know. That will save some serious time. Thanks!

You need to do it from a ship you own to an unregistered ship you don't own.

Did you go to Venus like in the video?

Best sleep of my life! 😂 Ship Vendors aren't like standard vendors. They require much more time to replenish their credits for some reason. Otherwise if just go sleep on my ship for 24 hours on Jemison.

2 things, 1: you don't even have to be in space, just not at the ship tech. 2: It's only cheaper if you have the commerce skill. Without the skill it's the same price whether in space or at the ship technician. And technically it's not cheaper, it's just that the game calculates the registration fee based on the ship's price which is higher if you have the commerce skill.

The left bumper button otherwise known as LB

Beyond me! At a minimum they need something like the thieves guild in Skyrim where you can sell stolen ships without having to register them. Or if they were to keep the registration fee make it no more than 15 percent.

What update are you on? I just used this trick yesterday.

@@circuitscore so I used it on the 3rd and it worked and then I think an update happened and then on the 4th the next day after the update it won't work for me I hope I'm wrong!!!

@@MOAON_AABE Check out my latest video. Still Works!

Did you try with a controller plugged in or with Q and using your mouse? Ive found it much easier to use a controller and then switch back to K+M once Ive made my rounds.

Yeah has to be a ship you already own once you set it as your home ship or it wont work.

No this is not normal at all. I envy you haha.

@@circuitscore it turns out it was just a one off thing. Now I have to do the glitch haha. Shit I don’t know why we have to register ships just to sell them, you should only have to do that if you were to customise a ship you just got. And they should have a ship service kiosk for stolen ships like they do with trade authority. If they were gonna do a way for us selling ships without registration legit

@@circuitscore also where is the best place to farm ships

@@jensensphotography4570 100% agreed they need at a minimum a shady place like in the Key or something to sell unregistered ships. As for farming ships check out some of my recent videos. I have a lot of tutorials where to find some solid ships and how to steal them.

Check out my other video on stealing free star ships from moons. There are a few different methods. If you fly the ship it goes in your inventory unregistered and if you sit in the pilot seat and set it as your home ship in menu it goes in your inventory unregistered. Not sure at Red Mile. Haven't run into that scenario yet. Ill have to check it out.

Are you on the Steam version or Xbox?

Hey so I just tried this right now on the Xbox Game Pass version and it does still work however it is much much harder to achieve. It is a very quick tap and it doesn't always work. Takes some persistence. It would seem they may have attempted to patch this in the last hotfix as it is much harder now.

@@circuitscoreI'm on Xbox.

@@circuitscoreOkay, thankk you, I will try a couple more times and see what happens.

I hope not! I'll have to test this out in a bit see if I can get it to work.

Hey I just fired up Starfield and tried this. I was still able to get it to work. Are you on the beta steam patch or standard patch?

only works with a controller connected to the pc

I've had the best luck with a controller connected to my PC.

Ahh ok, I hate playing space sims with controllers do thatd explain it. I couldn't figure out how to get no man's sky to work with keyboard and mouse while in vr either. I loved playing elite in vr with keyboard mouse and voice command

Yeah I really hope they ignore some of this stuff and focus on the game breaking mission bugs instead. Like its super weird they patched the vendor chest glitch considering those same type of glitches still exist in Skyrim. Very strange.

Not sure to be honest. I've started fresh a few times haven't tried to get rid of the Starborn.

100% agreed. The ship techs will sell the same ships back to us for like 10x the price meanwhile we cant even get 20 percent of what is already an awful sell-able value as it is. Id be ok with them either removing it or making the registration costs WAY lower.

That's what I like to hear! Best exploit in the game.

@@circuitscore I would say that it appears the "Starborn" Ships are no longer spawning on Hawking IV-A to steal any longer, possibly patched.

@@infiniteuniverse9528 That's a shame. Idk why they keep patching this game to remove the fun out of it.

Subscribe and find out! 😏

Exactly 😂

Exactly! Can you imagine if you had to register with the DMV every time you stole a car in GTA 5. It doesn't even make sense honesty 😂

Def works best with a controller

Maybe 😏

100% Agreed

Yeah the sellable value is already low enough and then they add registration fees on top of it. Its absolutely ridiculous.

Still twerking for me 😏

Thats what I like to hear 😂
