How to unlock the Fleet Commander achievement

    There's a few methods of acquiring new ships, from doing missions, dogfighting & boarding or buying them outright from a Ship Builder.

    But for me ship "Jacking" has been far easier to pull off.

    While roaming around the planets you'll often see random ships land on the surface. It's possible to "jack" these ships if you have a couple of points in the Security perk (2 points - advanced locks, 3 points - master locks). Sneak into the back of the ship and use a "Digipick" on the ladder door. Once inside make your way to the cockpit, sit in the captains chair and the ship is yours!

    Hold onto 10 of these stolen ships to get the Fleet Commander achievement. If you want to use or sell on these stolen ships, you'll need to pay a few thousand credits to a ship builder to register it. But it's a fraction of what the ships actually worth. Easy money!

    Death2UEForceLast side note. All 4 ships stay put until you leave the planet. So you can return to the frontier and set as home before going anywhere.

    Greek IngenuityI never had luck trying to hijack landed ships on planets because the game always marked the entrance to the ship as [Inaccessible] for me. I was near the end of the game and had around 1 million credits so I just made a save, bought a bunch of ships until the achievement popped, and then reloaded. Easy.

    For this achievement, the best option I found was to land in different parts of the Moon (SOL) until you find landed ships. I also recommend playing with a headset so you can hear if any ships land near your location.

    And if you're still reading this, good morning, good afternoon and good night.

    For me the easiest way to do this was to go to the Serpentis system and just travel from planet to planet, disabling Va'ruun ships, boarding them and then taking them. There's a high chance to spawn at least one ship every time you travel, they do often take between 10-20 seconds to spawn after you arrive so wait before you fly to another planet.

    The system is Level 55 so make sure you're a fairly high level before attempting this, I used the Targeting Control Systems perk to target their engines and disable them, but you might find using
    EM weaponry easier if you don't have any skill points available.

    After you sit in the Pilot Seat, press cn_start, go to the Ship option on the bottom left and then press cn_start again to make the new ship your home ship. After that, hold cn_B so you exit the menu, this will automatically undock you from your main ship. Then quickly use cn_A to target your old ship before it flies away, hold cn_X to dock and then make your way back to the Pilot Seat and make it your home ship again. Exit and then the ship you just took over will fly away, leaving you to carry on to the next planet.

    LionQBest solution for this achievement, in my opinion. Couple of things to add: 1) The Serpentis system is to the "southeast" of the Ixyll system, which is named on the starmap. 2) Targeting engines worked much better for me too than using EM weaponry. 3) The system is flooded with hostiles, so if you want to farm up ship kills for, say, leveling up the Piloting skill, this is where you want to go. 4) Some ships you'll board can be hard to navigate on the inside, so track the "Kill the crew" quest on the Activities tab and your scanner will show you the path to the right floor/ladder/hatch/door. Happy hunting!
