What is the most efficient grav drive in Starfield? ›

The RD-3000 is by far the best B-class Grav Drive available in the settled systems. It has a level 33 requirement and a starship design rank of two. The RD-3000's 36 Grav thrust and 180 health are the highest of any B-class Grav Drive in Starfield.

The Helios 400 Grav Drive is an important early-game option with a 27 Grav Jump Thrust, making it the best choice at level 22. The RD-3000 Beta Grav Drive is a better mid-game option than any Class A Grav Drives, but requires a Class B Reactor and reaching the second Rank of the Starship Design Skill.

Players will have to scroll to the right for the Grav Drives, and you will see a list of upgrades for it. Choose the one that will fit your ship if there are multiple, and your ship will have a better Grav Drive at a more reasonable cost. Starfield is available now for PC and Xbox Series X|S.

Buying A Ship With 21 Light-Year Grav Drive

During the Final Glimpses quest, you will receive an objective that guides you to the ship services technician located at the spaceport in New Atlantis. Here, you can browse their selection and acquire a spaceship with a 21LY Grav Drive.

You can only go up to 30LY in one jump, but with ample fuel (400-800 on big ships is plenty, 200 is totally fine on A's and B's) you can jump 4+ times for example to travel 100 LY away in one load screen.

You can do this by visiting a Ship Technician, and either choose to upgrade or replace your drive: To Upgrade, select Upgrade Ship, then swap categories until you reach the NG160 Grav Drive.

Starship is a two-stage fully reusable super heavy-lift launch vehicle under development by SpaceX. As of July 2024, it is the most massive and powerful vehicle ever to fly. SpaceX has developed Starship with the intention of lowering launch costs using economies of scale.

Expand Your Helium Fuel Supply

Expanding your fuel supply is another way to better your grav jumping. Doing so does not increase the number of Light Years you can travel, but it will increase the number of planets you can jump between in one trip before needing to refuel.

What is the best ship for grav jump Starfield? ›

Starborn Guardian

This powerful ship is a reward for Starfield's New Game+ mode and has a high laser damage rating and a decent jump range. It can grav jump 30 lightyears away, and its Solar Flare Beam and Gravity Torpedo make it extremely powerful in combat.

Your ship's grav drive you have determines the maximum that its range can be, but the mass of your ship will reduce it. In order to increase your jump range, you'll have to upgrade to a better grav drive with the Ship Builder.

To access the power distribution menu of your starship, press the ALT key on PC or use the D-Pad on console controllers. If you have power in the Ship's Power Bar, select the GRV with the right arrow key and then press the up arrow key to give the grav drive at least one bar of power.

Out of all three choices purchasing a Grav Drive for the ECS Constant is the best First Contact choice due to it being the most moral choice. If you decide to make a settlement deal the ship's crew will become indentured servants on Paradiso (not good) and, if you blow it up, they'll be dead (really not good).

Razorleaf. The Razorleaf is, by far, the best ship to get your hands on in the early-game. The Razorleaf doesn't have much to show for itself in the way of cargo capacity, but its base weapon set can shred through lower-level enemy ships. It really excels in terms of its maneuverability.

1 900T He3 Tank

This Fuel Tank is large, and holds a staggering 650 Grav Jump Fuel, with a very decent Mass. With all that being said, the 900T He3 Tank is arguably the best Fuel Tank in Starfield. Starfield is available now on Xbox Series X/S and PC.

The best A Class Reactor in Starfield is the Tokamak X-300. Here are the Tokamak X-300's stats: Class: A. Power Generated: 29.

At this stage of the game, it's not recommended to equip a Class B Engine since more capable Class C Engines would be up in the market. Among all the Class B Engines, the Dunn-71 Engine has the best performance with a total of 26.5k Engine thrust alongside decent maneuvering power.

You can upgrade your grav drive, lose the heavy engine, lose the heavy cargo, or upgrade fuel capacity. All of these options are great ways to grav jump further distances for a longer period of time. You do not have to do all of these upgrades. Grav Drives increase your range.
