Can You Change the Color of Your Freighter in No Man’s Sky?
In the vast, breathtaking universe of No Man’s Sky, players can take control of various starships, each with its own unique characteristics and customizable attributes. Among these options lies the freighter, a massive vessel that allows for interstellar travel, base-building, and commerce. One of the questions often asked by players is, "Can I change the color of my freighter in No Man’s Sky?" The answer to this question is a resounding yes. This article will delve into the details of how to paint your freighter in different colors and explore other customizable options.
Changing Freighters
Before exploring freighter customization, let’s take a look at the process of acquiring them in the first place. Freelancers can claim their very first freighter once they discover Abandoned Freighters, which are scattered across various planets and moons in the game. These salvaged vessels can be repurchased and upgraded to expand player capabilities. Private and Public Freighters, offered by other players or created by the player themselves, can also be part of the freighter experience. Each type of freighter has its own limitations, advantages, and appearance variations.
Freighter Painting
To change the color of your freighter in No Man’s Sky, follow these steps:
1. Enter Freighter Mode: Visit your freighter, dock at the Cargo Dock, and enter Freighter Mode.
2. Access the Control Panel: From within the freighter, interact with the Control Panel (F1) to initiate freighter control operations.
You can change the accent, secondary, or primary color of your freighter by selecting one from the available palette.
Other Freighters Customization Options
- Exosuits: Personalize the cosmetic appearance of your explorer using various components, attachments, and paints.
- Exocraft: Rebadge, reconfigure, or repaint your exocraft for improved performance.

Repairment and Upgrades: Your freighter can take damage from the stresses of interstellar exploration; repair it using specific ship parts, resources (credits, resources, blueprint).
Rebuilding Freighters: You can break into a wrecked structure when you encounter a disfavored freighter ship if you’re skilled (for example, 95 to 100%) within salvage module level. It’s easier by joining.
