This is our guide to the freighters in No Man's Sky.

How Can I Locate a Freighter in No Man's Sky?

In No Man's Sky, obtaining your first freighter is really rather simple and cost nothing at all. Once you have the capacity to begin warping to other star systems, a freighter calls for help after you have visited a few—perhaps even your first, if you're fortunate. The captain of the ship gives it to you if you help it escape from pirates. But be careful—you're far more likely to get a much larger freighter if you decline their present and take the next one that is given to you.

How can I purchase a freighter from No Man's Sky?

There's a potential that when you come across fleets during your space exploration, you'll notice that they have either a purple freighter badge or a green frigate badge, which indicates that they are for sale. Take off into the catchment zone and fly to pick up a radio signal. After that, you may board, have a look, and choose whether or not to purchase it.

How can I improve my freighter in No Man's Sky?

If you currently own a ship that you like sailing, you may choose to add to its attractiveness or enhance it with some elegant changes. So, as you go into the vast unknown, keep a look out for abandoned freighters; you could come across enhancements that you can incorporate into your own freighter's inventory. Among them are:

• Combat unit – improve the fleet’s combat by two to fifteen points
• Exploration unit – improves exploration results by two to fifteen points
• Fuel unit – improves fuel efficiency by two to fifteen units
• Mining unit – improves mining rewards by two to fifteen points
• Trade unit – improves trading success by two to fifteen points
• Freighter hyperdrive – improves hyperdrive range by two to fifteen points
• Beacon – improve the fleets’ speed by two to fifteen points

And with that, spaceman, you should have everything you need to begin operating a ship in No Man's Sky. Read our guides on No Man’s Sky Beyond and No Man’s Sky expeditions after that.
