As I started to properly explore the vastness that is action RPG Starfield, I started getting annoyed at how short the distances I could jump between systems were. Early on, you can only jump up to a couple of systems before having to break up the journey, which can be frustrating. If you want to leap more systems in a single bound, here I’ll discuss how to increase the maximum jump range in Starfield.
Maximizing your ship jump range in Starfield
In the simplest terms, you’re going to want toupgrade your Grav Driveto maximize your ship’s range (more below). you’re able to also increase yourAstrodynamics skillfor a really nice percentage range bonus (15 percent at Rank 1 and a massive 30 percent at Rank 3). If you don’t want to put skill points in yourself, rememberSarah Morgan has Astrodynamicsat Rank 4, so alternatively, you can just put her on your ship crew.

Returning to Grav Drives, note you can only ever haveone per ship, so you’ll need to upgrade rather than add a second. To maximize jump range, the stat you’re looking for isGrav Jump Thrust. This ranges from 12 in the weakest model (the NG150), while I’ve seen a Grav Jump Thrust of 50 on the J-52 Gama Grav Drive. Note that the top drives will also need you to put someskill pointsintoStarship Designto fit them unless you buy a new ship already fitted with this fancy tech.
When fitting an improved drive youmay find you need to lower your overall massto make it work, which may mean downgrading or removing heavy parts such as engines and cargo space.
