View source for Frame Shift Drive Wake

'''Frame Shift Drive Wakes''' are left behind when a ship enters [[supercruise]] or [[hyperspace]] using its [[Frame Shift Drive]]. These FSD wakes can be scanned by other ships to identify the first ship's destination for tracking purposes. There are two types of FSD wakes: Low Energy Wakes and High Energy Wakes.

==Low Energy Wake==
These wakes mark the location where a ship has entered/exited supercruise. They can be scanned by any ship without any special equipment. If [[Frame Shift Drive Interdictor|interdicted]], jumping to supercruise or "Low-Waking" does not usually deter any pursuers, and they will simply follow and re-interdict their targets.

==High Energy Wake==
These wakes mark locations where a ship has jumped to another star system. A [[Frame Shift Wake Scanner]] is required to scan High Energy Wakes. If interdicted, jumping to hyperspace will elude most pursuers.

==Wake Suppression==
Wake Suppression is a theoretical technology that is able to prevent the formation of Frame Shift Drive Wakes when a ship jumps, allowing a pilot to travel from one system to another without leaving a trail. While Wake Suppression tech is currently unavailable, the [[Engineers|Engineer]] [[Bill Turner]] is believed to be experimenting with a way to implement it using reverse-engineered [[Thargoids|Thargoid]] technology. The concept was originally studied by the corporation [[MetaDrive]], before it was acquired by [[Sirius Corporation]] in a scheme orchestrated by [[The Club]] in 3302.<ref>''[[Elite Dangerous: Premonition]]''</ref>

==Notes==
* FSD wakes show up in the Contacts panel and can be targeted as long as the player's ship is close enough to the wake.
