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~~. It can be overcharged during supercruise via the "Boost" button to enable acceleration to ~~hundreds~~ of ~~times~~ 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]].

In [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey]], ships may be fitted with the specialized [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)]] that includes Supercruise Overcharge (SCO). These modules can be overcharged during supercruise via the "Boost" button to enable acceleration up to 6,000 times (depending on class and size of the drive) the speed of light in mere seconds. Overcharging 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]].

~~3 ships are designed with SCO in mind. They have reduced drawbacks while utilizing it:~~

* [[Mandalay]]

* [[Python Mk II]]

* [[Type-8 Transporter]]

==Approaching a Starport in Supercruise==

# Manage your approach speeds.~~[[File:SUPER CRUISE TO STARPORTS LIKE A PRO - Flight Tutorial-0|thumb|right|200px]]~~

# Manage your approach speeds.

# Maintain a correct approach vector in relation to the station's orbit.

# Align to the station's airlock face before dropping out.

Line 48:

# Crossing an "IMPACT" surface while traveling faster than 1 Mm/s. This case invokes a 10-second cooldown instead of a 40-second cooldown.

# Disabling your thrusters or FSD while in Supercruise will also result in an Emergency Drop.

# Fuel Reserve reaches 5%
