Unique & Legendary Ship Components

Discover unique and legendary ship components in Starfield! Learn how to find and equip the best gear to boost your ship's performance and survivability. Your ultimate guide to Starfield's top-tier ship parts.

Hey there, space explorer! So, you're looking to deck out your ship with some seriously awesome gear, huh? While this guide focuses on personal equipment like spacesuits and apparel, it's worth knowing that Starfield also has unique and legendary *ship* components. You won't find them listed here, but keep an eye out as you explore the galaxy! Think of equipment in Starfield as your personal armor and utility belt. It comes in a few main categories: * Spacesuits: Your primary defense against the harsh environments and enemy fire. * Helmets: These protect your noggin and often come with their own set of resistances and perks. * Packs: These provide additional storage and can offer unique bonuses, especially for boost packs. * Apparel: This is your clothing, which can also provide resistances and sometimes special effects. Damage Resistance is Key Every piece of gear you equip offers protection against different types of damage: * Physical: Guards against bullets, explosions, and melee. * Energy: Your shield against lasers and particle weapons. * Electromagnetic: Protects against things like the Novablast Disruptor. Beyond that, your gear can also shield you from environmental hazards like thermal, airborne, corrosive, and radiation damage. Some suits might be fantastic against corrosive environments but offer little thermal protection, so always check the resistances before heading into a new system! When you're checking out a new piece of gear, you'll see its resistances listed. If a new item offers better protection than what you're currently wearing, the numbers will pop up in green. If it's worse, they'll be red. Easy to see what's an upgrade! Gear Tiers and Mods Equipment comes in different tiers, from 'Basic' all the way up to 'Superior'. As you level up, you'll start seeing higher-tier gear appear in shops and as loot from tougher enemies. Higher tiers generally mean better stats and more protection. Then there are Mods. These are enhancements you can craft and add to your gear at a Spacesuit Workbench. To craft mods, you'll first need to unlock their recipes through research projects. Some research projects require specific skills, like [Spacesuit Design](https://starfield.fandom.com/wiki/Spacesuit_Design
