The Frontier - Whether or not you sold the Frontier, it'll still be with you when you begin your New Game Plus run.

What you lose when you advance to New Game Plus

Everything. No, we're not kidding. If you want a list:

All the items you have acquired, including weapons, spacesuits, crafting materials, and the incredibly powerful digipicks, will be completely lost. With the exception of the Frontier, all the other ships from your initial journey will vanish.

Your outposts will go poof.

Say goodbye to credits.

What do you get in New Game Plus

Fortunately, there are exciting enhancements waiting for you during your Starfield New Game Plus experience. Since you are a Starborn, you can take full advantage of:

Every planet you previously visited and scanned will require another visit and thorough scanning. This means embarking on another journey through the game's connect-the-dots galaxy map.

Awakening on a Starborn Guardian II vessel, you find yourself in possession of your very own ship. Welcome to the pilot's seat of your personal Starborn spacecraft.

Equipped with the Starborn Spacesuit Astra, a complete ensemble comprising armor, helmet, and jetpack, you are bestowed with a multitude of advantages by simply donning it. However, should you choose to wear alternative gear, like the Ecliptic Helmet or Constellation Pack, individual items must be equipped separately in the remaining slots.

Speaking of the Starborn Spacesuit, our team successfully completed a New Game Plus run. To our excitement, our subsequent attempt rewarded us with the Starborn Spacesuit Materia, boasting improved stats and unique modifications. Whether these Starborn suits are randomly generated or part of a progressive NG+ system remains unconfirmed—meaning each playthrough might grant you superior equipment.
