* The Mk II Supercharge Optimised | * The [[Mk II Supercharge Optimised Frame Shift Drive (SCO)]] allows engineered Caspian Explorers to achieve jump ranges exceeding 500 ly, reaching up to 556 ly. It is therefore possible to reach systems inaccessible to any other ship and fleet carriers in the game. If the destination system does not contain a neutron star, this jump will permanently strand the Caspian Explorer used. One such system is HD 20611. | ||
