List of Contents
| Module | Value | Grav Jump Thrust | Grav Drive Health | Required Skill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| J-52 Gamma Grav Drive | 112290 | 50 | 308 | Starship Design (Rank 4) |
The J-52 Gamma Grav Drive is the best grav drive we've encountered in the game so far. Despite its high cost and skill requirement, it provides the highest grav jump thrust of 50 which will allow you to travel to systems with long distances without having to make stops in between.
While the Apollo GV300 Grav Drive provides the same grav jump thrust, the J-52 Gamma Grav Drive sports a higher grav drive health for only a slightly higher price.
The grav drive can be purchased from most ship technicians once you reach level 54.
| Module | Value | Grav Jump Thrust | Grav Drive Health | Required Skill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Helios 300 Grav Drive | 9025 | 23 | 68 | None |
The Helios 300 Grav Drive is the best grav drive to get early in the game. It provides the highest grav jump thrust at 23 among Class A grav drives without requiring any skills, so you'll be able to purchase and utilize it even if you are not investing any skill points in Piloting or Starship Design.
The grav drive can be purchased from most ship technicians once you reach level 14.
| Grav Drive Stats Overview | |
|---|---|
| Class | Indicates the tier of a ship part. Parts with a class stat can only be added to a ship with a reactor of the same class or higher. |
| Max Power | Indicates the maximum power that can be allocated to the part's function during space flight. |
| Grav Jump Thrust | Determines the maximum distance your ship will be able to grav jump. |
| Grav Drive Health | Indicates the amount of damage the part can take before it starts to malfunction. |
| Hull | Increases your ship's health by the indicated number. |
The Grav Drive module allows your ship to jump from one system to another. Upgrading this module increases your ship's jump range, allowing you to reach further destinations, and also decreases the number of stops needed when attempting to travel to far systems.
| What is the Class Stat? |
|---|
|
|
Reactors come with a stat called class that indicates the maximum tier of parts you can attach to your ship. Classes can either be A, B, or C, with the latter being the highest tier being accompanied by the best stats.
The reactor's class sets the limit for the other ship parts. If your ship has a Class B reactor, you can only attach parts that are either from the same class or lower.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
 Piloting |
As more people journey into space, the number of those certified to effectively pilot various types of spacecraft has increased dramatically. |
 Starship Design |
As with "car culture" on Earth centuries ago, there are those who pride themselves on the ability to modify their own spaceships. |
To be able to purchase and install parts from higher classes on your ship, you'll need to level up the skills listed above. At higher ranks, The Piloting skill will allow you to pilot Class B and C ships, while the Starship Design skill will allow you to install higher class parts to your ship.
Your ship has too much mass for the Grav Drive to handle. To fix this error, either upgrade to a Grav Drive with higher Grav Jump Thrust or reduce your ship's mass by removing extra ship parts or changing current parts to something with less mass.
Visit ship technicians in city spaceports to access the game's ship editor. From the ship editor screen, you can choose to either upgrade parts or fully customize your ship in the shipbuilder mode.

You are wrong dude, there is a grav drive that can give also 50 of Grav Jump but it has less mass, just 144 from the 154 of mass that the J-52 gives, the APOLLO GV300 GRAV DRIVE. This is the real best grav drive on the game. So if you take that in consideration then the best grav drive on the game is the APOLLO GV300.
