I will be honest, I used them in the Bakeru. I can't seem to find information on how it works. I have checked the few ships that seem to have them, but alas...my search fu is weak. Anyone know anything?

Derran Tyler said:Gravimetric drives manipulate superstrings and zero-point field to maneuver and accelerate a vessel to a far higher degree than other ships. By manipulating and bending these superstrings, the drive is able to create distortions in space-time that can be used to push and pull a ship in any given direction very rapidly. An important byproduct of this movement is that the effect of inertia is also negated, allowing the ship to accelerate, stop, and maneuver at velocities that would crush a person using conventional propulsion methods.

Basically, a gravimetric drive is a sublight CFS-like engine - if I get this right.
