Best ship names in Starfield

While Frontier is a really great ship name, we’ve come up with a list of great ship names that you could consider.

• Hades
• Scarab
• Last Star
• Atlas
• Guardian
• Apollo
• Hammerhead
• Infinity

Feel free to come up with whatever ship name you can think of, but the above list includes some of our favorites. In fact, I named my first Starfield ship Last Star because I thought it sounded bold and adventurous. You can also sci-fi it up by adding superfluous letters in front of the name like SR Hammerhead or X-13 Apollo.

That is how you change your ship’s name in Starfield. Remember, you can rename your ship as many times as you’d like, so there is no pressure to come up with something cool on the spot. There’s time to find a great ship name.
