To do space travel Starfield, access the Starmap and select a star system or planet as your destination. Hold down the designated key (X or R) to activate your GRV drive.

The long-awaited Starfield RPG from Bethesda is finally here, giving players a chance to do something they’ve never done before in the vast space of the galaxy. It takes a new approach to space travel and fans can rest assured that the game’s new ways of exploring planets won’t disappoint. In this guide, we talk about how to space travel Starfield and scan planets.

How to Space Travel Starfield?

In Starfield’s realistic world, most of your adventures will take place in the vast, empty void of space. Here, you can get into exciting dogfights, go on mining trips, and go on dangerous missions to visit a lot of different planets. The easy-to-use and stylish Starmap system is the key to space travel Starfield.

1. Use Your GRV Drive

Your journey through the cosmos is made possible by the GRV drive, a cutting-edge technology that determines the distance you can travel. To gauge the energy required for each jump, simply access the Starmap menu.

2. Navigate the Starmap

By positioning your cursor over a star on the Starmap, you can select a destination for exploration. This action allows you to zoom in and uncover information about the available planets, star stations, and other points of interest.

3. Assess the Difficulty

In the top-left corner of each system, you’ll notice a helpful color-coded difficulty level indicator. While being under-leveled shouldn’t deter you from venturing forth, be prepared for more challenging encounters with hostile forces.

4. Engage Your GRV Drive

If you’re already in orbit around a heavenly body, turn on your GRV drive and wait for it to work. But if you’re fast-traveling from the surface of a planet, you’ll see a short loading screen and then go straight to your chosen location after starting the jump.

5. Jump to Uncharted Territory

To jump to unfamiliar star systems, hold down the X or R key on your keyboard. Familiar systems, on the other hand, can be accessed with a single jump.

How to Scan Planets in Starfield

To space travel Starfield planets, it can be straightforward at first, but the process is more complex than it appears.

1. Access Your Starmap

Initiate your journey by opening the Starmap.

2. Execute the Jump

After selecting your desired destination system or planet, hold down the X key on your controller or keyboard. You’ll find yourself soaring toward your chosen planet.

3. Scanning and Landing

When you get to the planet you want, choose it again on your map. Here, you can scan the planet and choose a specific landing spot for your expedition. To land, press and hold the assigned button, which is the same thing you did to start moving. When you start the landing scene, your ship will land on the planet’s surface in a graceful way.

4. Exploration Begins

After landing, you’ll be asked if you want to manually get off the ship or have your figure get off on its own. Use your scanning device to help your character learn more about the planet and find out what’s hiding there.

Each world in Starfield has a large area that can be explored. But your movement is limited by how far away from your spacecraft you can go. Luckily, this distance is big, and each procedurally produced area you visit is full of interesting things to find.

Different Planet Types in Starfield 

Starfield boasts more than 100 star systems, each containing over 1,000 planets ripe for exploration. While some planets offer a wealth of opportunities for exploration, even those lacking prominent landmarks or settlements hold their own allure. It’s important to note that not all 1,000 planets are bustling hubs of activity. Many of the smaller ones are procedurally generated, which means their features and resources may be somewhat limited.

When you find yourself in a Starfield system, you’ll have the opportunity to inspect planets up close by entering planet view. This feature grants you access to crucial information about each planet, including details on its gravity, composition, temperature, atmosphere, and the presence of living beings, flora, or water sources.

Based on their surface characteristics, Starfield features several distinct planet types:

• Ice Giant: Frozen and enigmatic worlds with chilling landscapes.
• Ice: Icy planets that challenge explorers with their frigid environments.
• Gas Giant: Massive planets composed mainly of gases and volatile elements.
• Rock: Solid and rocky planets with diverse terrains.
• Barren: Harsh, desolate planets devoid of lush landscapes or abundant resources.

Exploring these different types of planets lets you find out a lot of things, like what’s on the surface, what materials are there, how hot or cold it is, how much gravity it has, and more. You can also keep track of your exploration progress by looking at the quests you’ve finished and how much of the planet’s surface you’ve looked at.

In the end, Starfield opens up a huge universe of exploration and adventure, with a lot of planets just ready to be found and learned about. Whether you’ve been to space before or it’s your first time, Starfield’s new mechanics and detailed planets will make your trip memorable. So, go on your interstellar journey and find out one planet at a time what the secrets of the galaxy are.
