Supercruise: Difference between revisions

In supercruise, speeds are typically measured in multiples of the [[:wikipedia:Speed of light|speed of light]], (represented as '''c''') or in megameters per second, represented as '''Mm/s''' (1c = 300Mm/s). A ship that is traveling at 1c is therefore traveling at the speed of light. Speeds in supercruise are highly dependent on distances from large bodies of mass, and the maximum speed of 2001c is only possible at great distances from massive objects, requiring almost an hour of supercruise travel away of all stellar bodies.

In [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey]], ships may be fitted with the specialized [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)]] that includes Supercruise Overcharge. They are designated with "(SCO)". and only available in a size that matches the ship's FSD housing - no larger, no smaller.These Itmodules can be overcharged during supercruise via the "Boost" button to enable acceleration up to hundreds6,000 times (depending on class and size of timesthe drive) the speed of light in mere seconds. Overcharging quickly results in great fuel usage and severe heat buildup, and may require the use of either additional [[Fuel Tank|Fuel Tanks]] or [[Heatsink Launcher|Heatsink Launchers]] to keep stable for longer periods of time. Frame- Shift Drives capable of overcharging are more expensive to purchase than standard drives but can still be boosted by [[Engineers|Engineering]].

* Using Supercruise to attempt to travel between systems will just result in you traveling a very long distance, as you '''will not''' actually switch which system you are in, as you currently '''cannot '''change systems using Supercruise. The game is unable to lazyload a new starsystem for you, only troughthrough a "loading screen".
