Players must level up their Piloting skills to levels 3 and 4 to unlock classes B and C.

Ship Building

While building your ship, you must prioritize your reactor and parts classes in Starfield. If you own an A-class ship, you are limited to using only A-class parts because it is the lowest level. However, B-class ships can handle B and A-class parts, not level C. Since class C is the highest, it can work with all ship parts.

If you’re trying to install any ship part that is class B or C in Starfield, you first need to unlock the Starship Design skill. This skill is on the third tier of the Tech skill tree, so if you focus solely on Tech, the minimum level you need to be to unlock Starship Design is level 9.

To fly class B and C ships, you must first rank up your Starship Designs. To access class B and C ship parts, you must rank up your Starship Designs two or three times. You must raise your Starship Designs rank to four to install experimental ship parts.

This is all you need to learn to pilot the ship of your choice; upgrade your skill tree accordingly and choose the competent parts.
