In Starfield, it’s important for you to upgrade your Grav Drive to make higher Jumps across the Star Systems. However, the game doesn’t actually tell you about everything in detail. Just like Powering up the GRV Drive, improving its functionality is pretty simple to understand too. But before that, you must know what’s the best system to upgrade to.
In this guide, we will tell you about the location of Best Grav Drives in Starfield, and how to upgrade to them. Also, keep in mind that you’ll have to Refuel or get a Ship with a bigger Fuel Tank. That’s because GRV and the Fuel system go side by side while traveling to the Planets far away.

How to Upgrade Grav Drives in Starfield
To upgrade it, head over to any nearby Ship Services Technician and interact with him. After that, follow these steps to upgrade your Grav Drive:
- Interact with the Ship Services Tech and choose the dialogue – I’d like to view and modify my ships
- Next, if you want to upgrade your existing Grav Drive, then select the Upgrade button below.
- From there, cycle to the Grav Drive category and upgrade it by paying the necessary fee.
- If you want to replace the Grav Drive with any of the best ones above, then enter the Ship Builder menu.
- After that, select the Add prompt and toggle to the Grav Drive category.

To get the best upgrades, be sure that you have the Starship Design Tech Skill. Most of the higher-class drives will be locked for purchase if you don’t have this skill. However, if you are in the early phases of Starfield, then you should go for the Helios 400 Grav Drive. It has a Grav Jump Thrust of 27 and can be bought for 11970 Credits in New Atlantis.
Apart from upgrading a little part, we can also help you with Building a Ship from Scratch. Moreover, we have covered plenty of other Spaceship guides for you to refer to.
