You need to have ship parts in your ships cargo.
Which parts? Where is my “ships cargo” and the “‘Aid’ section”?
Go to your cockpit. There should be a cargo hold panel there. Buy the ship parts from vendors and put them into your cargo hold via the panel in your cockpit. Then once you’ve lost hull press O on your keyboard(iunno controller equivalent).

Push down the right stick on the controller.

You can also enter your ship cargo from the “ship” section of the menu.

You’ll be able to find the menu with ease, going into that is like 90% of the game.

I fly with a controller but do everything else with M&KB, so I appreciate the both of you.
Buying ship parts is detailed in this guide: www.polygon.com/…/ship-parts-repair-starship
Where to buy Ship Parts and how to repair your ship in Starfield

To heal your ship in Starfield, you need Ship Parts. Here’s where to buy Ship Parts and how to repair your ship with them.

Since nobody else has said it, ‘ship parts’ is the item name, not referring to any specific parts. It’s a general resource for on-the-fly ship repairs.

Gotcha, thanks.

Haven’t found any yet but I’ll look it up.

When you help one of the big two factions in a dog fight that you run across randomly they’ll usually hail you and you can ask for ship parts (if they survived). Some vendors have them. Sometimes they drop in wreckage after destroying a ship. They’re fairly common when boarding a ship and looting the cargo hold.

The cargo hold is a small screen you can find in the cockpit that you can open like a storage. It’s not the captain’s locker.
