While selling stolen ships won't amass an insane amount of profit, it will still get you a nice sum of money. Plus, if you count all the loot you got from getting rid of your enemies in order to steal the ship, you're actually making a lot of money.

Eventually, you're not going to want to have too many ships in your collection, at least if you want some kind of tidiness in your game. Especially if you decide to join the Crimson Fleet, you're going to encounter this problem at some point.

In order to sell your stolen ships, you'll have to go to a Ship Services Technician. You'll find them at most major spaceports, like in New Atlantis, for example.

But, before you can actually sell the stolen ships, you have to register them first.

When talking to the technician, choose the "buy and sell" option. From there, if you choose a ship that you've previously stolen, you can register it first by paying the required fee. It's a pretty high fee that can be up to 90% of the ship's worth, but you'll still make profit off of selling those stolen ships.

After successfully registering the ship, you can choose to sell the ship by picking the "sell" option.
