No Man's Sky Starship Upgrades: Storage, Class & Useful Investment
Identify the limitation first
Decide whether the ship is limited by storage, the technology you can install or how it performs in the activity you use it for. Those are different investments. A more expensive ship is not automatically the best answer to a single missing capability.
Check the outfitting options
Hello Games documents the Starship Outfitting Terminal at space stations as a place to add inventory slots and spend Nanites on class upgrades. Inspect the displayed options and costs for your ship before committing. Do not assume a price or restriction copied from an old screenshot still applies.
Keep cargo and technology planning separate
Waypoint clarifies technology-specific slots. Check the type of slot you are improving and whether it solves the present shortage. Adding room for carried items does not mean every technology-placement problem disappears.
Avoid an irreversible scrap mistake
Synthesis also documents salvaging unwanted ships through the outfitting terminal. Treat scrapping as a separate decision from upgrading. Confirm the selected ship and any equipment or cargo you intend to keep before accepting a destructive action.
Compare the result in normal use
After one meaningful upgrade, take the ship through the activity that exposed the problem. Check whether the travel, storage or combat limitation actually improved before spending toward another change. This guide does not provide speculative maximum slots, fixed class prices or a permanent best ship ranking.
