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

If you dock with the ship, get in the pilot's seat, then leave and get back in your own ship, do you keep the new ship?

Kinda. There's a fast way and a slow way.

Fast way: You have to dock with the enemy ship, clear it, sit in the seat, undock from your main ship, quickly open the menu, set the ship you're in as your home ship, redock with your main ship before it flys away, and then presumably you'll want to set that back as your home ship.

Slow way, dock, clear, sit, fly somewhere (grav jumping sets whatever ship you're in as your home ship), land at a ship technician, set your main ship back as your home ship. You have to repeat this for every ship you take.

The fast way keeps you in system with your main ship so I prefer it, especially if I'm in the Serpentis system trying to make 100,000 credits collecting var'uun ships.

Just undocking the ship usually makes it my home ship automatically. I kinda wish it didn't because sometimes I want to get away from hearing Sarah and the Adoring Fan tell me how good I am at doing things that are entirely automated.
