In Starfield, your Grav Drive is a crucial component of your ship. The Grav Drive module allows your ship to make faster-than-light jumps. The Grav Drive also provides your ship with the artificial gravity that helps you stay grounded and in control.

Naturally, you want an excellent Grav Drive to match the other ship parts, like your ship’s weapons and your ship engines, that you have already installed to improve your ship’s capabilities and potentially make it the best possible ship you can get. Here are some of the best Grav Drives to choose from.
8 Helios 300 Grav Drive
The Helios 300 is the perfect Grav Drive to have in the early stages of the game. The stats are well-balanced, and you don’t need any skill requirements or a high level to equip them.
It is a class A ship that costs 9,025 credits with a mass of 34, a maximum power requirement of nine, a grav jump thrust of 23, and a health of 68. Although it may not be as incredible as later entries on this list, it will certainly do at the start of the game while you grow your level and acquire skills.
7 NG220 Grav Drive
The NG220 is a B class Grav Drive worth 12,635 credits. It has a level requirement of 29 and a skill requirement of starship design rank two.
It has a mass of 59, a max power requirement of ten, a grav jump thrust of 25, and a grav drive health of 118. The NG220’s stats are very evenly spread out and would make a perfect Grav Drive for an all-around balanced ship build.
6 Aurora 13G Grav Drive
The Aurora 13G is the most potent B-class Grav Drive in terms of its grav thrust ability, which is 33. Aside from its incredible thrust power, the drive also has a very good health stat of 162, one of the highest of any B-class drive.

The other stats that the Aurora has are its 81 mass, which is not too bad and won’t take too much of a toll on your ship, and its max power requirement of ten. The Aurora 13G is valued at 23,275 credits.
5 SDG 2300 Grav Drive
The SDG 2300 is among the best B-class drives in the Settled Systems. It has a mass of only 62, a maximum power requirement of ten, a Grav jump thrust stat of 27, and a solid health of 125.
While the SDG does have impressive and well-balanced stats, what is most interesting about it is that it only requires you to be at level 31 with a starship design rank of one. This means that you could get this fantastic ship equipment early in the game if you prioritize the right skills.
4 RD-3000 Beta Grav Drive
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. It also has a mass of 90, a max power requirement of ten, and it costs 29,450 credits, which is a great price for such amazing stats.
3 SGD 3300 Grav Drive
The SGD 3300 is among the best Grav Drives in the game and understandably has a level 51 requirement with a required starship design rank four skill.

This Grav Drive’s 45 grav jump thrust and incredible 275 Grav Drive health more than warrant its 74,575 credit price tag. The drive has a maximum power requirement of 11 and a mass of 137, making it the perfect fit for a bruiser ship with indestructible shields and overwhelmingly powerful weapons that continues to move forward in the face of any attack.
2 Apollo GV300 Grav Drive
The Apollo GV300 has a level requirement of 54 with a starship design rank four skill requirement, and it costs a whopping 100,225 credits. This may seem steep, but if you know how to make credits or have a bunch of credits lying around, you’ll find that this Grav Drive is well worth it.
It has a mass of 144 and a max power requirement of 11. Its 50 grav jump thrust is the joint highest in the game, and its Grav Drive health is the second highest you can get in the game as well.
1 J-52 Gamma Drive
The J-52 Gamma Drive is the best Grav Drive you can have in Starfield, and its price tag of 112,290 credits, starship design rank four, and level 54 requirements accurately reflect that.
It has a grav jump thrust stat of 50, a mass of 154, a maximum power requirement of 11, and the highest health stat of any Grav Drive in the game at 308. These impressive stats are all well-balanced and high, making this Grav Drive not just the best C-class drive, but the best one you can get your hands on throughout the Settled Systems.
