No Man’s Sky: How to Get New Ships

Buy Them Off Other Traders

When you reach Space Stations or other bases on planets, sometimes you’ll find a few ships parked outside those structures. These belong to other space traders. If you walk up and inspect the ships, you’ll be able to talk to the pilots. You’ll then be able to sell them some of your cargo, buy some of their items, or even offer to purchase their ship.

The price will be set, and once you agree to their offer, the ship will be yours. If you do buy their ship, make sure to transfer all of your cargo to the new one before setting off again. If the asking price is a little too high for you, you can also decline and look elsewhere for a new ship.
