The first pilots who used Achilles' Frame Shift Drives reported immense mechanical and thermal stress when using the supercruise overcharge function. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/ship-manufacturers-must-rise-challenge-supercruise-overcharge GalNet: Ship manufacturers must “rise to the challenge” of Supercruise Overcharge]</ref> Ship manufacturers started designing ships that could overcome overcharge stress. The [[Python MkII]] was the first ship to be designed around the Achilles Frame Shift Drive, boasting improved performance and reduced fuel consumption. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/python-mk-ii-released-faulcon-delacy-announces-collaboration-achilles-aerospace Python Mk II Released: Faulcon | The first pilots who used Achilles' Frame Shift Drives reported immense mechanical and thermal stress when using the supercruise overcharge function. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/ship-manufacturers-must-rise-challenge-supercruise-overcharge GalNet: Ship manufacturers must “rise to the challenge” of Supercruise Overcharge]</ref> Ship manufacturers started designing ships that could overcome overcharge stress.

While using SCO; acceleration increases continuously to the max speed. The boost cannot be throttled. SCO also has a very high fuel consumption. A standard ship's handling is decreased due to turbulence and wobblyness. | While using SCO; acceleration increases continuously to the max speed. The boost cannot be throttled.
