While using supercruise overcharge, acceleration increases rapidly and continuously to the max speed. The boost cannot be throttled. SCO also has a very high fuel consumption. During overcharge, a ship's handling is decreased due to turbulence, and has a similar effect to being [[Frame Shift Drive Interdictor|interdicted]].<ref name=":2" /> SCO also generates a substantial amount of [[heat]] while active, which can severely damage the ship and its modules if left unchecked. These effects are worse for ships that were released ~~after~~ SCO was discovered. That means that ships like the Cobra MK 3, the Sidewinder, or the T9 suffer these effects much worse than ships like the Mandalay, The Cobra MK V, the T8, or the Corsair. For comparison's sake, for example a Krait MK 2 in SCO has a fuel usage of about 1800 T/h, while a Mandalay has fuel usage of about 93 T/h. These numbers vary by ship and by specific outfit and engineering. The scale of the numbers is about the same.

If your ship ends an overcharged supercruise in an [[Supercruise#Emergency Drop|emergency drop]], it will suffer severe damage to its [[Hull Integrity|hull]] and modules. If the ship runs low on fuel during supercruise overcharge, the safety mechanism of the [[Flight Assist]] will perform an emergency drop, leaving a small amount of fuel in the reserve fuel tank. You should refuel at the nearest [[station]], [[settlement]] or visit a scoopable [[Stars|star]]. If you run out of fuel you can ask the [[Fuel Rats]] for assistance.
