Can a creature with Spaceflight enter the Drift?


Rules Questions

I'm not talking about starship-scale creatures that use the starship rules; I'm talking about standard creatures with the (Archives of Nethys link) Spaceflight universal rule. The rules say that they can fly at "standard navigation and astrogation speeds". Does that mean they can also use Drift travel? If so, how fast is their Drift travel speed? I would assume engine rating 1, unless the creature statblock says otherwise.


I think they're limited to the standard methods of space travel, not Drift.

I would assume they can travel through the Drift as well as they would through realspace, but spaceflight doesn't give them the ability to shift into or out of the Drift.

Thanks for the answers! I was looking up the stats for the (Archives of Nethys link) Vortex Dragon and found it strange that they are great astrogators, but can't use Drift travel.
