In Starfield, you can dock your ship into other ships and space stations, such as the Deimos Staryard and The Clinic. After you've identified your target, follow the steps below to learn how to dock:

  • Aim towards the ship and press the select target input (E on keyboard and A on controller). This will scan the target in your crosshairs and display its name.
  • Get within 500 meters range of the ship and the option to dock will appear.
  • Hold down the dock input (R on keyboard and X on controller). You'll then go through a small animation of docking into the target vessel.
