Grav jumping is a vital skill in the realm of cosmic exploration, providing access to uncharted settlements, remote planets, and distant star systems. The ability to navigate the cosmos through grav jumps has become an integral facet of interstellar adventure, from the enigmatic Kreet to the bustling Jemison, the neon-lit landscapes of Akila, and the renowned Sol system. The cosmos, on the other hand, follows its own set of rules, requiring meticulous fuel management for safe navigation and imposing restrictions on fast travel through uncharted routes as a stark reminder of the enigmatic perils lurking beyond.


Throughout the history of space exploration, one enduring concept has captured humanity's imagination and become woven into the fabric of popular space media: the jump drive. This remarkable advancement allows spacecraft to make instantaneous jumps between star systems, demonstrating the limitless potential of space travel. The Starfield Grav Jump emerges from this wellspring of inspiration, a technological marvel that allows explorers to seamlessly traverse the systems they have previously charted. While the Starfield Grav Jump's initial range may not inspire awe, its potential for expansion reflects its users' ambitions; with each ship upgrade, the horizon of your cosmic odyssey broadens, promising greater distances and uncharted territories to explore.

Fast traveling within the Frontier and your custom outposts is a breeze, provided you're unburdened and in good health. Follow these simple steps:


Step 1: Ensure you're not encumbered or afflicted by any sickness.

Step 2: While on a planet, press the LB button to activate your scanner.

Step 3: Use the joystick to align the crosshairs with the location icon displayed in the scanner.

Step 4: Press the A button while still targeting the icon.

Step 5: Confirm your intention to fast travel by pressing A once more.


Keep in mind that quick travel is not possible if your inventory is full or if you have a status effect that prevents it. To alleviate any negative situations, manage your inventory by removing surplus products or applying the right beneficial cures.

Step 1: Begin your journey by sailing into open space aboard your ship. Take the pilot's seat and choose "take off" by pressing Y.


Step 2: While in space, go to the pause menu and look for the "Starmap" in the upper left-hand corner. You can also open the Starmap by holding down the pause button.

Step 3: Use the Galaxy map in the Starmap interface to select the system or world to which you want to travel. Once you've decided, click "Set Course." Alternatively, if you have mission objectives, you can choose one and then "Set Course" for your destination.


Step 4: A menu with travel information will appear. If your ship's jump capability and fuel levels permit it, press and hold X to begin the "Jump."

Step 5: Allocate electricity to your spacecraft's "GRV" (Gravity Drive) segment. It's important mentioning that the more power you give to GRV, the faster it will charge.


Step 6: Watch as your ship's Grav Drive begins the charging phase, which is followed by a countdown. Higher power allocation to GRV results in faster charging time.


Step 7: When the charging process is complete, your ship will do the jump, delivering you to your destination.


Step 8: Following that, you can target the planet and press X to see the "Planet Map," allowing you to select your ideal landing place on the planet's surface.
