Easy way to get more ships? (possumpat.io)

what have you found to be the easiest way to get a new ship?

I got lucky and some colonizers were asking for help so I helped them out, then just out of curiosity I lock picked to get into their ship and was able fly off without consequence.

I tried doing the same thing with other landed ships but then it just says I'm not authorized

Targeting control to disable the engines- to do that, you need at least rank 1 of the skill (Dunno if more ranks are worth it. I get by with just the one.) Which then lets you lock onto ships. Controls are for PC, sorry, Don't have xbox, but, e lets you target one, then, when you get close and properly locked on... hit and hold r to activate the targeting control systems skill

This opens up what is basically a minigame, with a new display of their power systems. you can cycle through and target the various systems- weapons, engine, shield. grav drive. Cycle the selection to engines and take their ship's shields down if it's not.

once the ship's shields are down, and the engine modules turn a nice red color (active modules are white,) you can board. The shields don't have to stay down, mind. To board, you press and hold R, if you're inside of 500 meters.

You can only jack one ship at a time, so kill the spares first- because you just trashed the ship you're jacking...

Edit: uh... I might have just found a way to jack more than one ship per outing. apparently, you can convert the new ship to home through the ship menu (H, to get there quick. Then press H again. no idea what the command is on xbox.) I'm not sure I'd recomend docking in the middle of a multi-ship engagement, But both new ships were available for sale at the landing pad. (next I'll test if you can swap ships in the middle of space this way... I'd have assumed not...)
