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]]. | ||
