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 are only available as C-Class). It can be overcharged during supercruise 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 unable to 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. 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]].
 
 
Two ships have been designed with SCO in mind and have reduced drawbacks from utilizing it:
 
* [[Python Mk II|Faulcon-Delacy Python Mk.II]]
* [[Type-8 Transporter|Lakon Type-8 Transporter]]
