The [[Gravity_Drive\|gravity drive]] enables a spacecraft to negate the effects of gravity, while the [[Rocket_Drive\|rocket drive]] does not. When off, the spacecraft will be drawn toward large gravitation bodies, like [[planet]]s and [[star]]s.

 A circular gauge at the left of the maneuver drive section indicates maneuver pitch and yaw performance. The spacecraft controls become more sluggish as the yellow dot moves farther from the center. At the center, the spacecraft provides the best response to pitch and yaw controls. The diagonal blue arrows control the position of the maneuver performance indicator. A character's engineering skill level determines the amount of time before the setting begins to wander. When adjusted by a highly skilled engineer, the adjustment holds its setting for a longer period of time.
 At the center of the maneuver drive section is a graph indicating acceleration performance. The vertical green trace shows the acceleration performance of the maneuver drive. When the green line is closer to the vertical center line, the gravity drive produces its best acceleration and deceleration. When the green line wanders close to the edges, acceleration and deceleration performance are severely degraded. The blue left and right arrows control the position of the green trace. A character's engineering skill level determines the amount of time before the setting begins to wander. When adjusted by a highly skilled engineer, the adjustment holds its setting for a longer period of time.
