As they set out on their spacefaring adventures, Starfield players may find ships, board them, and get behind the wheel, only to be met with the message “You are not authorized to pilot this ship.” This message generally appears when players try to pilot ships other than their own. They may have a variety of reasons for doing so: maybe they just want to test out a specific module, or one of Starfield‘s ship decorations. Or maybe they’ve realized the profitable potential of stealing and selling ships in Starfield.
