Starfield Ship Builder: Cost & Stats Optimizer

How to calculate Starfield Ship Stats?

Ship stats are a balance between total mass and engine thrust, which determines mobility and jump range.

Formula: Mobility = (Engine Thrust / Total Mass) * Modifier

Using the Ship Optimizer: an example

Example: A Class B ship with 1200 Mass, 4000 Cargo, and High-Performance Engines.

Step-by-step calculation:

• Calculate engine thrust needed for the 1200 Mass
• Determine Grav Drive power for jump range
• Sum component costs for the final credit total

Frequently Asked Questions

How does cargo affect mobility?

Cargo modules add significant mass. As mass increases without adding more engine thrust, your mobility score will drop.

What is the max jump range?

The maximum jump range is capped at 30 Light Years, regardless of how powerful your Grav Drive is compared to your mass.

Do crew members affect stats?

Yes, crew members with specific skills like Engines or Shields can provide bonuses to your base calculated stats.
