Unleash Your Pilot Skills: Overcoming “You are not authorized to pilot this ship” Error in Starfield
Starfield, the highly anticipated game, has garnered some attention for its occasional challenges both in terms of running the game and within the gameplay itself. One such hurdle is encountered in the Ship Builder feature, where users may come across the perplexing error message: “Ship weapon must be assigned to a group”. If you’re new to the Ship Builder, this error might leave you scratching your head. Another error directly related to ships, albeit slightly more straightforward, is the “You are not authorized to pilot this ship” error. But worry not, as we’ve got you covered with a step-by-step guide to solving this glitch in Starfield.
Encountering the dreaded “You are not authorized to pilot this ship” error in Starfield can be a frustrating experience. But fear not, as we are here to shed some light on the reasons behind this error and how to overcome it. There are two main reasons why this error may occur.
The first reason, albeit less common, is when you attempt to steal a ship that is part of a key quest or task that restricts your ability to fly it. In such cases, the game purposely prevents you from taking control of the ship, as it goes against the intended gameplay progression.
More commonly, the error arises when your Piloting skill does not meet the requirements of the ship’s class. The Piloting skill can be found in the Tech tree of your skill menu and offers various upgrades at each level:
- Rank 1: Unlocks the utilization of ship thrusters.
- Rank 2: Enhances ship turning rate and maneuverability.
- Rank 3: Allows you to pilot Class B ships.
- Rank 4: Grants you access to pilot Class C ships.
It is crucial to note that achieving Rank 3 and Rank 4 in the Piloting skill is essential for piloting higher-class ships. Once you have attained both these levels, you will have the ability to pilot any ship available in the game.
What Sets Class A Ships Apart from Class B/C Ships?
Class A ships, available to you from the start of your Starfield journey, are agile and nimble vessels. They offer increased mobility due to their streamlined design but may sacrifice some power in return. On the other hand, Class C ships are considerably slower and more massive in size, but compensate for this with enhanced stats such as stronger weapons, shields, or Grav Drives. Class B ships provide a middle ground, offering a balance between the specialization of Class A and the sturdiness of Class C.
