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).
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.

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.

Have you got ship parts in your cargo hold? That’s usually the problem I have

Ship parts are an item like med kits, but for ships. You can buy them from some merchants or sometimes loot them from destroyed ships.If it’s in the cargo hold of your ship you can use them. You can enter the ship’s hold a number of ways. In the start menu go to ship and you see a button to enter the cargo hold on the bottom right. There you can store or take items from your cargo hold like you’re trading with a companion, as long as you’re in a radius of 250 meters of your ship. There’s also a blueish computer screen in your ship’s cockpit where you can enter the cargo hold, in the frontier it’s on the left on the wall just before your piloting seat.

There’s a type of aid item simply referred to as “ship parts.” Places like Jemison Mercantile and UC Distribution Center sell them sometimes, and you may even earn them by helping UC/Freestar ships beat up hostiles in random encounters.
Edit: and don’t keep them in your on-foot inventory, they weigh 10 kilos each.
Each ship has a cargo hold that you can dump stuff in. From the 2 ships I’ve been in (Frontier and Shieldbreaker) you can access the cargo hold from a computer to the left of the pilot seat. If you buy or find Ship Parts (the name of the item), you’d have to go to your characters Aid section, and move them to your ship’s cargo hold. Then the button shouldn’t be greyed out anymore.

I want to add that you can enter the cargo hold by going to the Menu (Tab on PC), then click on lower left where your ship is and see the cargo hold (F on PC)
You can also move things from the cargo hold to your inventory even if you’re outside of your ship, I don’t remember if you can do so the other way around.

Just pay 1000 credits to get it repaired at a port, then go blow up some ships and salvage ship parts.
Yeah it seems like there are usually 2 pieces of contraband in each pirate ship. Which is sort of a pain if you want the ship and you’ve got to scavenger hunt it before going to a settled system.

Taking ships is not worth the hassle. They don't give you much money when selling and they'll dump their entire pool of items on the ship into your cargo, which is an absolute pain to clean up. I just blow them up for the additional exp.
There is a way to register them for less money. Get in the pilot seat first and then after that go to the main menu of the game and pick your ship in the lower left. There will be an option at the bottom to register it for less money. Not sure why.
I was just saying pay one time, then with a repaired ship go blow up some pirates and salvage their free ship parts for future repairs.

You have “Ship Parts” right?
I’ve noticed it will be grayed out, but as long as I actually have parts I can still repair.

It took me so long to figure out that I needed ship parts for repairing! I was hoping for a message when trying. If there was a message, I didn’t see it.

Do you have Ship Parts in your cargo hold? Pushing 0 should let you repair. Also a Ship Services Technician will gladly take 1000 credits to repair as well

You need to have ship parts in your ships cargo.
They are under the ‘Aid’ section.
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
Thank you

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

.
For in the field repairs using ship parts, if you have any.
To add to that, you often get ship parts from blowing up ships. I never need to buy them.
You can also find them in the cargo if you board the ships, among other goodies and whatever the NPCs wear.
Yeah I keep forgetting to search the cargo, I search the bodies and the ship and the captain’s locker, but forget to access the cargo terminal.
On some groups ships can also be contraband sitting around in the actual ship.
