It’s frustrating to put in all of the work required to steal or commandeer a ship in Starfield, only to have the game forbid you from sliding into the pilot’s seat for whatever reason. Thankfully, with a recently released mod, you won’t have to worry about that any longer.
While the law enforcement of the Settled Systems would much prefer that you pony up your hard earned credits in order to add to your fleet of cutting-edge craft, sometimes someone just kinda leaves one lying around, and it’s a crime not to take advantage. This is something that modder ferrari365 seems to understand perfectly, having created ‘Seizure Of Ships - Take Over Restricted Ships’.
With the mod installed, they write that: “As long (as) the (restricted) ship has a cockpit and a pilot seat you can reach, you can (probably) take it over right away and add it to your fleet to fly, upgrade and customise like any other ship.”
